| * sched: reduce schedstat variable overhead a bitKen Chen2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | schedstat is useful in investigating CPU scheduler behavior. Ideally, I think it is beneficial to have it on all the time. However, the cost of turning it on in production system is quite high, largely due to number of events it collects and also due to its large memory footprint. Most of the fields probably don't need to be full 64-bit on 64-bit arch. Rolling over 4 billion events will most like take a long time and user space tool can be made to accommodate that. I'm proposing kernel to cut back most of variable width on 64-bit system. (note, the following patch doesn't affect 32-bit system).

* | V3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcapAndrew Morgan2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1, can change the capabilities of another process, p2. This is not the meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities, there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on another. Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the implementation of CAP_SETPCAP. The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no process can set the capabilities of another process. The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution rules: pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec) pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI) pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0 at exec() time. As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI capability set. The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch) is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process - to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules are applied. Here is how it works: Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI. Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0. That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to be present in pP. The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond the above: if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) { pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0 */ } This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities are not useful to or needed by the login program itself. One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap) would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

* | sysctl: deprecate sys_sysctl in a user space visible fashion.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After adding checking to register_sysctl_table and finding a whole new set of bugs. Missed by countless code reviews and testers I have finally lost patience with the binary sysctl interface. The binary sysctl interface has been sort of deprecated for years and finding a user space program that uses the syscall is more difficult then finding a needle in a haystack. Problems continue to crop up, with the in kernel implementation. So since supporting something that no one uses is silly, deprecate sys_sysctl with a sufficient grace period and notice that the handful of user space applications that care can be fixed or replaced. The /proc/sys sysctl interface that people use will continue to be supported indefinitely. This patch moves the tested warning about sysctls from the path where sys_sysctl to a separate path called from both implementations of sys_sysctl, and it adds a proper entry into Documentation/feature-removal-schedule. Allowing us to revisit this in a couple years time and actually kill sys_sysctl. [lethal@linux-sh.org: sysctl: Fix syscall disabled build] Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | sysctl: Error on bad sysctl tablesEric W. Biederman2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After going through the kernels sysctl tables several times it has become clear that code review and testing is just not effective in prevent problematic sysctl tables from being used in the stable kernel. I certainly can't seem to fix the problems as fast as they are introduced. Therefore this patch adds sysctl_check_table which is called when a sysctl table is registered and checks to see if we have a problematic sysctl table. The biggest part of the code is the table of valid binary sysctl entries, but since we have frozen our set of binary sysctls this table should not need to change, and it makes it much easier to detect when someone unintentionally adds a new binary sysctl value. As best as I can determine all of the several hundred errors spewed on boot up now are legitimate. [bunk@kernel.org: kernel/sysctl_check.c must #include <linux/string.h>] Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There as been no easy way to wrap the default sysctl strategy routine except for returning 0. Which is not always what we want. The few instances I have seen that want different behaviour have written their own version of sysctl_data. While not too hard it is unnecessary code and has the potential for extra bugs. So to make these situations easier and make that part of sysctl more symetric I have factord sysctl_data out of do_sysctl_strategy and exported as a function everyone can use. Further having sysctl_data be an explicit function makes checking for badly formed sysctl tables much easier. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | cpu hotplug: cpu: deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED only to NOTIFY_OKed callbacks with ↵Akinobu Mita2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CPU_UP_PREPARE The functions in a CPU notifier chain is called with CPU_UP_PREPARE event before making the CPU online. If one of the callback returns NOTIFY_BAD, it stops to deliver CPU_UP_PREPARE event, and CPU online operation is canceled. Then CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions in a CPU notifier chain again. This CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions which have been called with CPU_UP_PREPARE, not delivered to the functions which haven't been called with CPU_UP_PREPARE. The problem that makes existing cpu hotplug error handlings complex is that the CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the function that has returned NOTIFY_BAD, too. Usually we don't expect to call destructor function against the object that has failed to initialize. It is like: err = register_something(); if (err) { unregister_something(); return err; } So it is natural to deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED event only to the functions that have returned NOTIFY_OK with CPU_UP_PREPARE event and not to call the function that have returned NOTIFY_BAD. This is what this patch is doing. Otherwise, every cpu hotplug notifiler has to track whether notifiler event is failed or not for each cpu. (drivers/base/topology.c is doing this with topology_dev_map) Similary this patch makes same thing with CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and CPU_DOWN_FAILED evnets.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On platforms that copy sys_tz into the vdso (currently only x86_64, soon to include powerpc), it is possible for the vdso to get out of sync if a user calls (admittedly unusual) settimeofday(NULL, ptr). This patch adds a hook for architectures that set CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL to ensure when sys_tz is updated they can also updatee their copy in the vdso.

* | Hibernation: Enter platform hibernation state in a consistent wayRafael J. Wysocki2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make hibernation_platform_enter() execute the enter-a-sleep-state sequence instead of the mixed shutdown-with-entering-S4 thing. Replace the shutting down of devices done by kernel_shutdown_prepare(), before entering the ACPI S4 sleep state, with suspending them and the shutting down of sysdevs with calling device_power_down(PMSG_SUSPEND) (just like before entering S1 or S3, but the target state is now S4).  Also, disable the nonboot CPUs before entering the sleep state (S4), which generally always is a good idea. This is known to fix the "double disk spin down during hibernation" on some machines, eg. HPC nx6325 (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/7/316 and the following thread).  Moreover, it has been reported to make /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm work correctly with hibernation for some users. It also generally causes the hibernation state (ACPI S4) to be entered faster. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* | Hibernation: Check if ACPI is enabled during restore in the right placeRafael J. Wysocki2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following scenario leads to total confusion of the platform firmware on some boxes (eg. HPC nx6325): * Hibernate with ACPI enabled * Resume passing "acpi=off" to the boot kernel To prevent this from happening it's necessary to check if ACPI is enabled (and enable it if that's not the case) _right_ _after_ control has been transfered from the boot kernel to the image kernel, before device_power_up() is called (ie. with interrupts disabled).  Enabling ACPI after calling device_power_up() turns out to be insufficient. For this reason, introduce new hibernation callback ->leave() that will be executed before device_power_up() by the restored image kernel.  To make it work, it also is necessary to move swsusp_suspend() from swsusp.c to disk.c (it's name is changed to "create_image", which is more up to the point).

* | serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time optionAndres Salomon2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial console to be suspended. This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing 'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain alive during suspend. For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be applied to make this work for things like netconsole. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <dilinger@debian.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The freezer should not send signals to kernel threads, since that may lead to subtle problems. In particular, commit b74d0deb968e1f85942f17080eace015ce3c332c has changed recalc_sigpending_tsk() so that it doesn't clear TIF_SIGPENDING. For this reason, if the freezer continues to send fake signals to kernel threads and the freezing of kernel threads fails, some of them may be running with TIF_SIGPENDING set forever. Accordingly, recalc_sigpending_tsk() shouldn't set the task's TIF_SIGPENDING flag if TIF_FREEZE is set. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Also, if there's an ext3 filesystem loopback-mounted from a FUSE one, the syncing results in writes to it and deadlocks. Similarly, it will deadlock if FUSE implements sync.
