* [PATCH] pi-futex: robust-futex exitIngo Molnar2006-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix robust PI-futexes to be properly unlocked on unexpected exit. For this to work the kernel has to know whether a futex is a PI or a non-PI one, because the semantics are different. Since the space in relevant glibc data structures is extremely scarce, the best solution is to encode the 'PI' information in bit 0 of the robust list pointer. Existing (non-PI) glibc robust futexes have this bit always zero, so the ABI is kept. New glibc with PI-robust-futexes will set this bit.

* [PATCH] Cpuset: fix ABBA deadlock with cpu hotplug lockPaul Jackson2006-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix ABBA deadlock between lock_cpu_hotplug() and the cpuset callback_mutex lock. It only happens on cpu_exclusive cpusets, due to the dynamic sched domain code trying to take the cpu hotplug lock inside the cpuset callback_mutex lock. This bug has apparently been here for several months, but didn't get hit until the right customer load on a large system. This fix appears right from inspection, but it will take a few more days running it on that customers workload to be confident we nailed it. We don't have any other reproducible test case. The cpu_hotplug_lock() tends to cover large runs of code. The other places that hold both that lock and the cpuset callback mutex lock always nest the cpuset lock inside the hotplug lock. This place tries to do the reverse, risking an ABBA deadlock. This is in the cpuset_rmdir() code, where we: * take the callback_mutex lock * mark the cpuset CS_REMOVED * call update_cpu_domains for cpu_exclusive cpusets * in that call, take the cpu_hotplug lock if the cpuset is marked for removal. Thanks to Jack Steiner for identifying this deadlock. The fix is to tear down the dynamic sched domain before we grab the cpuset callback_mutex lock. This way, the two locks are serialized, with the hotplug lock taken and released before trying for the cpuset lock. I suspect that this bug was introduced when I changed the cpuset locking from one lock to two. The dynamic sched domain dependency on cpu_exclusive cpusets and its hotplug hooks were added to this code earlier, when cpusets had only a single lock. It may well have been fine then.

* cpu hotplug: simplify and hopefully fix lockingLinus Torvalds2006-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CPU hotplug locking was quite messy, with a recursive lock to handle the fact that both the actual up/down sequence wanted to protect itself from being re-entered, but the callbacks that it called also tended to want to protect themselves from CPU events. This splits the lock into two (one to serialize the whole hotplug sequence, the other to protect against the CPU present bitmaps changing). The latter still allows recursive usage because some subsystems (ondemand policy for cpufreq at least) had already gotten too used to the lax locking, but the locking mistakes are hopefully now less fundamental, and we now warn about recursive lock usage when we see it, in the hope that it can be fixed.

* [PATCH] Remove down_write() from taskstats code invoked on the exit() pathShailabh Nagar2006-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In send_cpu_listeners(), which is called on the exit path, a down_write() was protecting operations like skb_clone() and genlmsg_unicast() that do GFP_KERNEL allocations. If the oom-killer decides to kill tasks to satisfy the allocations,the exit of those tasks could block on the same semphore. The down_write() was only needed to allow removal of invalid listeners from the listener list. The patch converts the down_write to a down_read and defers the removal to a separate critical region. This ensures that even if the oom-killer is called, no other task's exit is blocked as it can still acquire another down_read. Thanks to Andrew Morton & Herbert Xu for pointing out the oom related pitfalls, and to Chandra Seetharaman for suggesting this fix instead of using something more complex like RCU.

* [PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data ↵Shailabh Nagar2006-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | through cpumasks On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can overflow a userspace listener's buffers. One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data overload more gracefully. In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested in that cpu. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

* [PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid onceShailabh Nagar2006-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once with each member thread exit. Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty. The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all *remaining* threads of the thread group. This patch modifies this sending in two ways: - the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats - the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of the thread group. The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of taskstats to not be sent at all. The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours on an SMP.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay accounting. This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task. Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

* [PATCH] Fix prctl privilege escalation and suid_dumpable (CVE-2006-2451)Marcel Holtmann2006-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on a patch from Ernie Petrides During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges. The prctl() system call should never allow to set "dumpable" to the value 2. Especially not for non-privileged users. This can be split into three cases: 1) running as root -- then core dumps will already be done as root, and so prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 2) is not useful 2) running as non-root w/setuid-to-root -- this is the debatable case 3) running as non-root w/setuid-to-non-root -- then you definitely do NOT want "dumpable" to get set to 2 because you have the privilege escalation vulnerability With case #2, the only potential usefulness is for a program that has designed to run with higher privilege (than the user invoking it) that wants to be able to create root-owned root-validated core dumps. This might be useful as a debugging aid, but would only be safe if the program had done a chdir() to a safe directory. There is no benefit to a production setuid-to-root utility, because it shouldn't be dumping core in the first place. If this is true, then the same debugging aid could also be accomplished with the "suid_dumpable" sysctl.

Lockdep assumes that the previous state it knows about is valid to operate, which is why lockdep turns itself off after the first violation it reports, after that point it can no longer make that assumption. A kernel oops means that the integrity of the kernel compromised; in addition anything lockdep would report is of lesser importance than the oops.

* [PATCH] sched: fix bug in __migrate_task()Peter Williams2006-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: In the function __migrate_task(), deactivate_task() followed by activate_task() is used to move the task from one run queue to another. This has two undesirable effects: 1. The task's priority is recalculated. (Nowhere else in the scheduler code is the priority recalculated for a change of CPU.) 2. The task's time stamp is set to the current time. At the very least, this makes the adjustment of the time stamp before the call to deactivate_task() redundant but I believe the problem is more serious as the time stamp now holds the time of the queue change instead of the time at which the task was woken. In addition, unless dest_rq is the same queue as "current" is on the time stamp could be inaccurate due to inter CPU drift. Solution: Replace the call to activate_task() with one to __activate_task().

* | | [PATCH] lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, move account_system_vtime() calls into ↵Paul Mackerras2006-07-03

They end up calling __do_softirq (in kernel/softirq.c) which also does local_bh_disable/enable. Apparently the two levels of disable/enable trigger a warning from some validation code that Ingo is working on, and he would like to see the outer level removed. But to do that, we have to move the account_system_vtime calls that are currently in the arch do_softirq() implementations for powerpc and s390 into the generic __do_softirq() (this is a no-op for other archs because account_system_vtime is defined to be an empty inline function on all other archs). This patch does that.
