proc: fix proc_dir_entry refcounting
Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below).
Switch to usual scheme:
* PDE is created with refcount 1
* every de_get does +1
* every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1
* once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.
This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without
introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading
lock_kernel():
1) PDE leak
remove_proc_entry de_put
----------------- ------
[refcnt = 1]
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
if (de->deleted)
/* also not taken! */
free_proc_entry(de);
else
de->deleted = 1;
[refcount=0, deleted=1]
2) use after free
remove_proc_entry de_put
----------------- ------
[refcnt = 1]
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)

module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody
can mark PDE deleted.

jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c
Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.
If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).
We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.
Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something
changes in future...

gpio_cs5535: disable AUX on output
The AMD CS5535/CS5536 GPIO has two alternate output modes: AUX-1 and AUX-2.
When either AUX is enabled, the cs5535_gpio driver cannot control the
output.
Some BIOS code for the Geode processor enables AUX-1 for GPIO-1, which
configures it as the PC BEEP output.
This patch will disable AUX-1 and AUX-2 when the user enables output.

Avoid potential NULL dereference in unregister_sysctl_table
register_sysctl_table() can return NULL sometimes, e.g. when kmalloc()
returns NULL or when sysctl check fails.
I've also noticed, that many (most?) code in the kernel doesn't check for
the return value from register_sysctl_table() and later simply calls the
unregister_sysctl_table() with potentially NULL argument.
This is unlikely on a common kernel configuration, but in case we're
dealing with modules and/or fault-injection support, there's a slight
possibility of an OOPS.
Changing all the users to check for return code from the registering does
not look like a good solution - there are too many code doing this and
failure in sysctl tables registration is not a good reason to abort module
loading (in most of the cases).
So I think, that we can just have this check in unregister_sysctl_table
just to avoid accidental OOPS-es (actually, the unregister_sysctl_table()
did exactly this, before the start_unregistering() appeared).

Currently we are complicating the code in copy_process, the clone ABI, and
if we fix the bugs sys_setsid itself, with an unnecessary open coded
version of sys_setsid.
So just simplify everything and don't special case the session and pgrp of
the initial process in a pid namespace.
Having this special case actually presents to user space the classic linux
startup conditions with session == pgrp == 0 for /sbin/init.
We already handle sending signals to processes in a child pid namespace.
We need to handle sending signals to processes in a parent pid namespace
for cases like SIGCHILD and SIGIO.
This makes nothing extra visible inside a pid namespace. So this extra
special case appears to have no redeeming merits.
Further removing this special case increases the flexibility of how we can
use pid namespaces, by not requiring the initial process in a pid namespace
to be a daemon.

futex: fix for futex_wait signal stack corruption
David Holmes found a bug in the -rt tree with respect to
pthread_cond_timedwait. After trying his test program on the latest git
from mainline, I found the bug was there too. The bug he was seeing
that his test program showed, was that if one were to do a "Ctrl-Z" on a
process that was in the pthread_cond_timedwait, and then did a "bg" on
that process, it would return with a "-ETIMEDOUT" but early. That is,
the timer would go off early.
Looking into this, I found the source of the problem. And it is a rather
nasty bug at that.
Here's the relevant code from kernel/futex.c: (not in order in the file)
[...]
smlinkage long sys_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val,
struct timespec __user *utime, u32 __user *uaddr2,
u32 val3)
{
struct timespec ts;
ktime_t t, *tp = NULL;
u32 val2 = 0;
int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK;
if (utime && (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT || cmd == FUTEX_LOCK_PI)) {
if (copy_from_user(&ts, utime, sizeof(ts)) != 0)
return -EFAULT;
if (!timespec_valid(&ts))
return -EINVAL;
t = timespec_to_ktime(ts);
if (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT)
t = ktime_add(ktime_get(), t);
tp = &t;
}
[...]
return do_futex(uaddr, op, val, tp, uaddr2, val2, val3);
}
[...]
long do_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, ktime_t *timeout,
u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val2, u32 val3)
{
int ret;
int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK;
struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL;
if (!(op & FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG))
fshared = ¤t->mm->mmap_sem;
switch (cmd) {
case FUTEX_WAIT:
ret = futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, timeout);
[...]
static int futex_wait(u32 __user *uaddr, struct rw_semaphore *fshared,
u32 val, ktime_t *abs_time)
{
[...]
struct restart_block *restart;
restart = ¤t_thread_info()->restart_block;
restart->fn = futex_wait_restart;
restart->arg0 = (unsigned long)uaddr;
restart->arg1 = (unsigned long)val;
restart->arg2 = (unsigned long)abs_time;
restart->arg3 = 0;
if (fshared)
restart->arg3 |= ARG3_SHARED;
return -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK;
[...]
static long futex_wait_restart(struct restart_block *restart)
{
u32 __user *uaddr = (u32 __user *)restart->arg0;
u32 val = (u32)restart->arg1;
ktime_t *abs_time = (ktime_t *)restart->arg2;
struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL;
restart->fn = do_no_restart_syscall;
if (restart->arg3 & ARG3_SHARED)
fshared = ¤t->mm->mmap_sem;
return (long)futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, abs_time);
}
So when the futex_wait is interrupt by a signal we break out of the
hrtimer code and set up or return from signal. This code does not return
back to userspace, so we set up a RESTARTBLOCK. The bug here is that we
save the "abs_time" which is a pointer to the stack variable "ktime_t t"
from sys_futex.
This returns and unwinds the stack before we get to call our signal. On
return from the signal we go to futex_wait_restart, where we update all
the parameters for futex_wait and call it. But here we have a problem
where abs_time is no longer valid.
I verified this with print statements, and sure enough, what abs_time
was set to ends up being garbage when we get to futex_wait_restart.
The solution I did to solve this (with input from Linus Torvalds)
was to add unions to the restart_block to allow system calls to
use the restart with specific parameters. This way the futex code now
saves the time in a 64bit value in the restart block instead of storing
it on the stack.
Note: I'm a bit nervious to add "linux/types.h" and use u32 and u64
in thread_info.h, when there's a #ifdef __KERNEL__ just below that.
Not sure what that is there for. If this turns out to be a problem, I've
tested this with using "unsigned int" for u32 and "unsigned long long" for
u64 and it worked just the same. I'm using u32 and u64 just to be
consistent with what the futex code uses.

- Disable nagle (if necessary) through the frto_counter == 2
