No trailing padding is required because it is not a struct type that can
be used in an array.

The CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR is required so that desc is aligned with long long
as would be the case for a struct containing a member with
CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR.

10 years agomm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY cleared
Peter Feiner [Mon, 13 Oct 2014 22:55:46 +0000 (15:55 -0700)]
mm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY cleared

For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults
have their write bit set.  If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent
writes.

Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug:

  char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                 MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
  system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */
  assert(*m == '\0');     /* new PTE allows write access */
  assert(!soft_dirty(x));
  *m = 'x';               /* should dirty the page */
  assert(soft_dirty(x));  /* fails */

With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared.  Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications
are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set.

As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with
care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by
drivers were zapped on mprotect.  An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by
commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

10 years agokernel/watchdog.c: control hard lockup detection default
Ulrich Obergfell [Mon, 13 Oct 2014 22:55:35 +0000 (15:55 -0700)]
kernel/watchdog.c: control hard lockup detection default

In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default.
An example is when running as a guest.  Introduce

  watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool)

allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection.  This must be
executed early by the boot processor from e.g.  smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in
order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as
to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance
to indicate that it's unwanted.  In summary,

  initial boot: default=enabled
  smp_prepare_boot_cpu
    watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false): default=disabled
  cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1': default=enabled

The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time
with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual.  However even when the
default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially
show '1'.  To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e.

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this
series.  Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.

octal numbers: only two first digits are used in case when 3 are

lib/string.c: remove duplicated function

roughly the same thing, namely compare two strings case-insensitively up
to a given bound.  They have slightly different implementations, but the
only important difference is that strncasecmp doesn't handle len==0
appropriately; it effectively becomes strcasecmp in that case.  strnicmp
correctly says that two strings are always equal in their first 0
characters.

strncasecmp is the POSIX name for this functionality.  So rename the
non-broken function to the standard name.  To minimize the impact on the
rest of the kernel (and since both are exported to modules), make strnicmp
a wrapper for strncasecmp.

ipc/shm: kill the historical/wrong mm->start_stack check

do_shmat() is the only user of ->start_stack (proc just reports its
value), and this check looks ugly and wrong.

The reason for this check is not clear at all, and it wrongly assumes that
the stack can only grow down.

But the main problem is that in general mm->start_stack has nothing to do
with stack_vma->vm_start.  Not only the application can switch to another
stack and even unmap this area, setup_arg_pages() expands the stack
without updating mm->start_stack during exec().  This means that in the
likely case "addr > start_stack - size - PAGE_SIZE * 5" is simply
impossible after find_vma_intersection() == F, or the stack can't grow
anyway because of RLIMIT_STACK.

function.  If the region is not found, it falls back to the
"page_is_ram" function.  If it is found and it is RAM, then the usual
warning message is issued, and the ioremap operation is aborted.
Otherwise, the ioremap operation continues.

10 years agox86: optimize resource lookups for ioremap
Mike Travis [Mon, 13 Oct 2014 22:54:03 +0000 (15:54 -0700)]
x86: optimize resource lookups for ioremap

We have a large university system in the UK that is experiencing very long
delays modprobing the driver for a specific I/O device.  The delay is from
8-10 minutes per device and there are 31 devices in the system.  This 4 to
5 hour delay in starting up those I/O devices is very much a burden on the
customer.

There are two causes for requiring a restart/reload of the drivers.  First
is periodic preventive maintenance (PM) and the second is if any of the
devices experience a fatal error.  Both of these trigger this excessively
long delay in bringing the system back up to full capability.

The problem was tracked down to a very slow IOREMAP operation and the
excessively long ioresource lookup to insure that the user is not
attempting to ioremap RAM.  These patches provide a speed up to that
function.

The modprobe time appears to be affected quite a bit by previous activity
on the ioresource list, which I suspect is due to cache preloading.  While
the overall improvement is impacted by other overhead of starting the
devices, this drastically improves the modprobe time.

Also our system is considerably smaller so the percentages gained will not
be the same.  Best case improvement with the modprobe on our 20 device
smallish system was from 'real 5m51.913s' to 'real 0m18.275s'.

This patch (of 2):

Since the ioremap operation is verifying that the specified address range
is NOT RAM, it will search the entire ioresource list if the condition is
true.  To make matters worse, it does this one 4k page at a time.  For a
128M BAR region this is 32 passes to determine the entire region does not
contain any RAM addresses.

This patch provides another resource lookup function, region_is_ram, that
searches for the entire region specified, verifying that it is completely
contained within the resource region.  If it is found, then it is checked
to be RAM or not, within a single pass.

The return result reflects if it was found or not (-1), and whether it is
RAM (1) or not (0).  This allows the caller to fallback to the previous
page by page search if it was not found.

Oleg Nesterov [Mon, 13 Oct 2014 22:53:35 +0000 (15:53 -0700)]
coredump: add %i/%I in core_pattern to report the tid of the crashed thread

format_corename() can only pass the leader's pid to the core handler,
but there is no simple way to figure out which thread originated the
coredump.

As Jan explains, this also means that there is no simple way to create
the backtrace of the crashed process:

As programs are mostly compiled with implicit gcc -fomit-frame-pointer
one needs program's .eh_frame section (equivalently PT_GNU_EH_FRAME
segment) or .debug_frame section.  .debug_frame usually is present only
in separate debug info files usually not even installed on the system.
While .eh_frame is a part of the executable/library (and it is even
always mapped for C++ exceptions unwinding) it no longer has to be
present anywhere on the disk as the program could be upgraded in the
meantime and the running instance has its executable file already
unlinked from disk.

One possibility is to echo 0x3f >/proc/*/coredump_filter and dump all
the file-backed memory including the executable's .eh_frame section.
But that can create huge core files, for example even due to mmapped
data files.

Other possibility would be to read .eh_frame from /proc/PID/mem at the
core_pattern handler time of the core dump.  For the backtrace one needs
to read the register state first which can be done from core_pattern
handler:

    ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT)
    close(0);    // close pipe fd to resume the sleeping dumper
    waitpid();   // should report EXIT
    PTRACE_GETREGS or other requests

The remaining problem is how to get the 'tid' value of the crashed
thread.  It could be read from the first NT_PRSTATUS note of the core
file but that makes the core_pattern handler complicated.

Unfortunately %t is already used so this patch uses %i/%I.

Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (https://github.com/abrt/abrt/wiki/overview)
is experimenting with this.  It is using the elfutils
(https://fedorahosted.org/elfutils/) unwinder for generating the
backtraces.  Apart from not needing matching executables as mentioned
above, another advantage is that we can get the backtrace without saving
the core (which might be quite large) to disk.

10 years agonilfs2: improve the performance of fdatasync()
Andreas Rohner [Mon, 13 Oct 2014 22:53:22 +0000 (15:53 -0700)]
nilfs2: improve the performance of fdatasync()

Support for fdatasync() has been implemented in NILFS2 for a long time,
but whenever the corresponding inode is dirty the implementation falls
back to a full-flegded sync().  Since every write operation has to
update the modification time of the file, the inode will almost always
be dirty and fdatasync() will fall back to sync() most of the time.  But
this fallback is only necessary for a change of the file size and not
for a change of the various timestamps.

This patch adds a new flag NILFS_I_INODE_SYNC to differentiate between
those two situations.

 * If it is set the file size was changed and a full sync is necessary.
 * If it is not set then only the timestamps were updated and
   fdatasync() can go ahead.

There is already a similar flag I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on the VFS layer with
the exact same semantics.  Unfortunately it cannot be used directly,
because NILFS2 doesn't implement write_inode() and doesn't clear the VFS
flags when inodes are written out.  So the VFS writeback thread can
clear I_DIRTY_DATASYNC at any time without notifying NILFS2.  So
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC has to be mapped onto NILFS_I_INODE_SYNC in
nilfs_update_inode().

on the THE_NILFS_SB_DIRTY flag, which is only set if the pointer to the
last segment crosses a segment boundary.  So if only a small amount of
data is written before the call to nilfs_sync_fs(), no flush of the
block device occurs.

In the above case an additional call to blkdev_issue_flush() is needed.
To prevent unnecessary overhead, the new flag nilfs->ns_flushed_device
is introduced, which is cleared whenever new logs are written and set
whenever the block device is flushed.  For convenience the function
nilfs_flush_device() is added, which contains the above logic.
