| * [PATCH] flush icache in correct contextRoman Zippel2005-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c & co for user space mappings and module.c for kernel modules. On m68k flush_icache_range() doesn't know which data to flush, as it has separate address spaces and the pointer argument can be valid in either address space. First I considered splitting flush_icache_range(), but this patch is simpler. Setting the correct context gives flush_icache_range() enough information to flush the correct data.

| * [PATCH] drop note_interrupt() for per-CPU for proper scalingJohn Hawkes2005-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "unhandled interrupts" catcher, note_interrupt(), increments a global desc->irq_count and grossly damages scaling of very large systems, e.g., >192p ia64 Altix, because of this highly contented cacheline, especially for timer interrupts. 384p is severely crippled, and 512p is unuseable. All calls to note_interrupt() can be disabled by booting with "noirqdebug", but this disables the useful interrupt checking for all interrupts. I propose eliminating note_interrupt() for all per-CPU interrupts. This was the behavior of linux-2.6.10 and earlier, but in 2.6.11 a code restructuring added a call to note_interrupt() for per-CPU interrupts. Besides, note_interrupt() is a bit racy for concurrent CPU calls anyway, as the desc->irq_count++ increment isn't atomic (which, if done, would make scaling even worse).

| * [PATCH] cpuset exit NULL dereference fixPaul Jackson2005-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race in the kernel cpuset code, between the code to handle notify_on_release, and the code to remove a cpuset. The notify_on_release code can end up trying to access a cpuset that has been removed. In the most common case, this causes a NULL pointer dereference from the routine cpuset_path. However all manner of bad things are possible, in theory at least. The existing code decrements the cpuset use count, and if the count goes to zero, processes the notify_on_release request, if appropriate. However, once the count goes to zero, unless we are holding the global cpuset_sem semaphore, there is nothing to stop another task from immediately removing the cpuset entirely, and recycling its memory. The obvious fix would be to always hold the cpuset_sem semaphore while decrementing the use count and dealing with notify_on_release. However we don't want to force a global semaphore into the mainline task exit path, as that might create a scaling problem. The actual fix is almost as easy - since this is only an issue for cpusets using notify_on_release, which the top level big cpusets don't normally need to use, only take the cpuset_sem for cpusets using notify_on_release. This code has been run for hours without a hiccup, while running a cpuset create/destroy stress test that could crash the existing kernel in seconds. This patch applies to the current -linus git kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In _spin_unlock_bh(lock): do { \ _raw_spin_unlock(lock); \ preempt_enable(); \ local_bh_enable(); \ __release(lock); \ } while (0) there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple preempt_enable_no_resched() Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is useless here... This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the "preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched() just before re-enabling bottom halves.

| * [PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt brokenPaul Jackson2005-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu(). Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On my IA64 machine, after kernel 2.6.12-rc3 boots, an edge-triggered interrupt (IRQ 46) keeps triggered over and over again. There is no IRQ 46 interrupt action handler. It has lots of impact on performance. Kernel 2.6.10 and its prior versions have no the problem. Basically, kernel 2.6.10 will mask the spurious edge interrupt if the interrupt is triggered for the second time and its status includes IRQ_DISABLE|IRQ_PENDING. Originally, IA64 kernel has its own specific _irq_desc definitions in file arch/ia64/kernel/irq.c. The definition initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to IRQ_DISABLE. Since kernel 2.6.11, it was moved to architecture independent codes, i.e. kernel/irq/handle.c, but kernel/irq/handle.c initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to 0 instead of IRQ_DISABLE.

This makes it hard for someone to understand what the string format will be. * audit_log_d_path was never fixed to use untrustedstring. This could mess up user space parsers.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the shutdown. It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a manageable risk. The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information. When it receives it, it writes the message and exits.

* [PATCH] setitimer timer expires too earlyPaulo Marques2005-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems that the code responsible for this is in kernel/itimer.c:126: p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval; add_timer(&p->signal->real_timer); If you request an interval of, lets say 900 usecs, the interval given by timeval_to_jiffies will be 1. If you request this when we are half-way between two timer ticks, the interval will only give 400 usecs. If we want to guarantee that we never ever give intervals less than requested, the simple solution would be to change that to: p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval + 1; This however will produce pathological cases, like having a idle system being requested 1 ms timeouts will give systematically 2 ms timeouts, whereas currently it simply gives a few usecs less than 1 ms. The complex (and more computationally expensive) solution would be to check the gettimeofday time, and compute the correct number of jiffies. This way, if we request a 300 usecs timer 200 usecs inside the timer tick, we can wait just one tick, but not if we are 800 usecs inside the tick. This would also mean that we would have to lock preemption during these computations to avoid races, etc. I've searched the archives but couldn't find this particular issue being discussed before. Attached is a patch to do the simple solution, in case anybody thinks that it should be used.
