ptrace: Clean transitions between TASK_STOPPED and TRACED

Currently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it's left alone
and the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.
The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called
before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task
manipulates the state of another task directly.

With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and
TRACED can be made clean.  The tracer can use the flag to tell the
tracee to retry stop on attach and detach.  On retry, the tracee will
enter the desired state in the correct way.  The lower 16bits of
task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused
the last group stop.  This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as
the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by
then.

As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code
anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it
can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop().  This
is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop.

If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a
ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should
always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach
completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be
TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the
following request to fail with -ESRCH.

This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait
for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit.  Completing the
transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.

Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible
to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the
reverse transition is visible to all.  Please read the comments for
details.

Oleg:

* Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without
  proper bookkeeping.  Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry.

* Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several
  different ways.  Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING.  Unhandled
  corner case is documented.

* Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped
  task would result in more consistent behavior.

* Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in
  TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse
  the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach().  ptrace_stop() is now
  called with TASK_RUNNING.

* Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait.

* Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of
  TRAPPING.

ptrace: Make do_signal_stop() use ptrace_stop() if the task is being ptraced

A ptraced task would still stop at do_signal_stop() when it's stopping
for stop signals and do_signal_stop() behaves the same whether the
task is ptraced or not.  However, in addition to stopping,
ptrace_stop() also does ptrace specific stuff like calling
architecture specific callbacks, so this behavior makes the code more
fragile and difficult to understand.

This patch makes do_signal_stop() test whether the task is ptraced and
use ptrace_stop() if so.  This renders tracehook_notify_jctl() rather
pointless as the ptrace notification is now handled by ptrace_stop()
regardless of the return value from the tracehook.  It probably is a
good idea to update it.

This doesn't solve the whole problem as tasks already in stopped state
would stay in the regular stop when ptrace attached.  That part will
be handled by the next patch.

Oleg pointed out that this makes a userland-visible change.  Before,
SIGCONT would be able to wake up a task in group stop even if the task
is ptraced if the tracer hasn't issued another ptrace command
afterwards (as the next ptrace commands transitions the state into
TASK_TRACED which ignores SIGCONT wakeups).  With this and the next
patch, SIGCONT may race with the transition into TASK_TRACED and is
ignored if the tracee already entered TASK_TRACED.

Another userland visible change of this and the next patch is that the
ptracee's state would now be TASK_TRACED where it used to be
TASK_STOPPED, which is visible via fs/proc.

is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by

won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to
the ptraced task in any other state.

tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop.

This results in the following behavior changes.

* A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the

  stop, the notification may still be missing.  These will be

* A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if

  code handles this correctly.

signal: Fix premature completion of group stop when interfered by ptrace

task->signal->group_stop_count is used to track the progress of group
stop.  It's initialized to the number of tasks which need to stop for
group stop to finish and each stopping or trapping task decrements.
However, each task doesn't keep track of whether it decremented the
counter or not and if woken up before the group stop is complete and
stops again, it can decrement the counter multiple times.

Please consider the following example code.

 static void *worker(void *arg)
 {
 while (1) ;
 return NULL;
 }

 int main(void)
 {
 pthread_t thread;
 pid_t pid;
 int i;

 if (!pid) {

 ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, NULL, (void *)(long)SIGSTOP);
 }
 return 0;
 }

The child creates five threads and the parent continuously traps the
first thread and whenever the child gets a signal, SIGSTOP is
delivered.  If an external process sends SIGSTOP to the child, all
other threads in the process should reliably stop.  However, due to
the above bug, the first thread will often end up consuming
group_stop_count multiple times and SIGSTOP often ends up stopping
none or part of the other four threads.

This patch adds a new field task->group_stop which is protected by
siglock and uses GROUP_STOP_CONSUME flag to track which task is still
to consume group_stop_count to fix this bug.

task_clear_group_stop_pending() and task_participate_group_stop() are
added to help manipulating group stop states.  As ptrace_stop() now
also uses task_participate_group_stop(), it will set
SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED if it completes a group stop.

There still are many issues regarding the interaction between group
stop and ptrace.  Patches to address them will follow.

using SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED|STOP flags.

get_signal_deliver() should test these flags and then notify
accoringly; however, it incorrectly tested SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED
instead of SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED, thus incorrectly notifying
CLD_CONTINUED if the signal is delivered before the task is wait(2)ed
and CLD_STOPPED if the state was fetched already.

Fix it by testing SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED.  While at it, uncompress the

Alexey Dobriyan [Tue, 22 Mar 2011 23:34:40 +0000 (16:34 -0700)]
kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right

1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
   libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
   comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
   but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
   Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
   because conversion should be strict by default.

The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
kstrtoull()
kstrtoll()
kstrtoul()
kstrtol()
kstrtouint()
kstrtoint()

kstrtou64()
kstrtos64()
kstrtou32()
kstrtos32()
kstrtou16()
kstrtos16()
kstrtou8()
kstrtos8()

Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.

strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.

Use kstrto*() in code today!

Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
      they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
      because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
      functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
      __alignof__ at least always works.

13 years agoconsole: allow to retain boot console via boot option keep_bootcon
Fabio M. Di Nitto [Tue, 22 Mar 2011 23:34:20 +0000 (16:34 -0700)]
console: allow to retain boot console via boot option keep_bootcon

On some architectures, the boot process involves de-registering the boot
console (early boot), initialize drivers and then re-register the console.

This mechanism introduces a window in which no printk can happen on the
console and messages are buffered and then printed once the new console is
available.

If a kernel crashes during this window, all it's left on the boot console
is "console [foo] enabled, bootconsole disabled" making debug of the crash
rather 'interesting'.

By adding "keep_bootcon" option, do not unregister the boot console, that
will allow to printk everything that is happening up to the crash.

The option is clearly meant only for debugging purposes as it introduces
lots of duplicated info printed on console, but will make bug report from
users easier as it doesn't require a kernel build just to figure out where
we crash.

13 years agokernel/watchdog.c: always return NOTIFY_OK during cpu up/down events

kernel/watchdog.c: always return NOTIFY_OK during cpu up/down events

This patch addresses a couple of problems.  One was the case when the
hardlockup failed to start, it also failed to start the softlockup.  There
were valid cases when the hardlockup shouldn't start and that shouldn't
block the softlockup (no lapic, bios controls perf counters).

The second problem was when the hardlockup failed to start on boxes (from
a no lapic or bios controlled perf counter case), it reported failure to
the cpu notifier chain.  This blocked the notifier from continuing to
start other more critical pieces of cpu bring-up (in our case based on a
2.6.32 fork, it was the mce).  As a result, during soft cpu online/offline
testing, the system would panic when a cpu was offlined because the cpu
notifier would succeed in processing a watchdog disable cpu event and
would panic in the mce case as a result of un-initialized variables from a
never executed cpu up event.

I realized the hardlockup/softlockup cases are really just debugging aids
and should never impede the progress of a cpu up/down event.  Therefore I
modified the code to always return NOTIFY_OK and instead rely on printks
to inform the user of problems.

13 years agocalibrate: retry with wider bounds when converge seems to fail

calibrate: retry with wider bounds when converge seems to fail

Systems with unmaskable interrupts such as SMIs may massively
underestimate loops_per_jiffy, and fail to converge anywhere near the real
value.  A case seen on x86_64 was an initial estimate of 256<<12, which
converged to 511<<12 where the real value should have been over 630<<12.
This admitedly requires bypassing the TSC calibration (lpj_fine), and a
failure to settle in the direct calibration too, but is physically
possible.  This failure does not depend on my previous calibration
optimisation, but by luck is easy to fix with the optimisation in place
with a trivial retry loop.

In the context of the optimised converging method, as we can no longer
trust the starting estimate, enlarge the search bounds exponentially so
that the number of retries is logarithmically bounded.

calibrate: home in on correct lpj value more quickly

Binary chop with a jiffy-resync on each step to find an upper bound is
slow, so just race in a tight-ish loop to find an underestimate.

If done with lots of individual steps, sometimes several hundreds of
iterations would be required, which would impose a significant overhead,
and make the initial estimate very low.  By taking slowly increasing steps
there will be less overhead.

E.g.  an x86_64 2.67GHz could have fitted in 613 individual small delays,
but in reality should have been able to fit in a single delay 644 times
longer, so underestimated by 31 steps.  To reach the equivalent of 644
small delays with the accelerating scheme now requires about 130
iterations, so has <1/4th of the overhead, and can therefore be expected
to underestimate by only 7 steps.

As now we have a better initial estimate we can binary chop over a smaller
range.  With the loop overhead in the initial estimate kept low, and the
step sizes moderate, we won't have under-estimated by much, so chose as
tight a range as we can.

13 years agocalibrate: extract fall-back calculation into own helper
Phil Carmody [Tue, 22 Mar 2011 23:34:12 +0000 (16:34 -0700)]
calibrate: extract fall-back calculation into own helper

The motivation for this patch series is that currently our OMAP calibrates
itself using the trial-and-error binary chop fallback that some other
architectures no longer need to perform.  This is a lengthy process,
taking 0.2s in an environment where boot time is of great interest.

Patch 2/4 has two optimisations.  Firstly, it replaces the initial
repeated- doubling to find the relevant power of 2 with a tight loop that
just does as much as it can in a jiffy.  Secondly, it doesn't binary chop
over an entire power of 2 range, it choses a much smaller range based on
how much it squeezed in, and failed to squeeze in, during the first stage.
 Both are significant optimisations, and bring our calibration down from
23 jiffies to 5, and, in the process, often arrive at a more accurate lpj
value.

The 'bands' and 'sub-logarithmic' growth may look over-engineered, but
they only cost a small level of inaccuracy in the initial guess (for all
architectures) in order to avoid the very large inaccuracies that appeared
during testing (on x86_64 architectures, and presumably others with less
metronomic operation).  Note that due to the existence of the TSC and
other timers, the x86_64 will not typically use this fallback routine, but
I wanted to code defensively, able to cope with all kinds of processor
behaviours and kernel command line options.

Patch 3/4 is an additional trap for the nightmare scenario where the
initial estimate is very inaccurate, possibly due to things like SMIs.
It simply retries with a larger bound.

Stephen said:

I tried this patch set out on an MSM7630.
:
: Before:
:
: Calibrating delay loop... 681.57 BogoMIPS (lpj=3407872)
:
: After:
:
: Calibrating delay loop... 680.75 BogoMIPS (lpj=3403776)
:
: But the really good news is calibration time dropped from ~247ms to ~56ms.
:  Sadly we won't be able to benefit from this should my udelay patches make
: it into ARM because we would be using calibrate_delay_direct() instead (at
: least on machines who choose to).  Can we somehow reapply the logic behind
: this to calibrate_delay_direct()?  That would be even better, but this is
: definitely a boot time improvement.
:
: Or maybe we could just replace calibrate_delay_direct() with this fallback
: calculation?  If __delay() is a thin wrapper around read_current_timer()
: it should work just as well (plus patch 3 makes it handle SMIs).  I'll try
: that out.

This patch:

... so that it can be modified more clinically.

This is almost entirely cosmetic. The only change to the operation
is that the global variable is only set once after the estimation is
completed, rather than taking on all the intermediate values. However,
there are no readers of that variable, so this change is unimportant.

sys_unshare: remove the dead CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM code

Cleanup: kill the dead code which does nothing but complicates the code
and confuses the reader.

sys_unshare(CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM) is not really implemented, and I
doubt very much it will ever work.  At least, nobody even tried since the
original 99d1419d96d7df9cfa56 ("unshare system call -v5: system call
handler function") was applied more than 4 years ago.

And the code is not consistent.  unshare_thread() always fails
unconditionally, while unshare_sighand() and unshare_vm() pretend to work
if there is nothing to unshare.

Remove unshare_thread(), unshare_sighand(), unshare_vm() helpers and
related variables and add a simple CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_SIGHAND| CLONE_VM
check into check_unshare_flags().

Also, move the "CLONE_NEWNS needs CLONE_FS" check from
check_unshare_flags() to sys_unshare().  This looks more consistent and
matches the similar do_sysvsem check in sys_unshare().

Note: with or without this patch "atomic_read(mm->mm_users) > 1" can give
a false positive due to get_task_mm().

One of our users reported that when a user-level program SIGSEGVs under
UML kernel, the resulting core dump is not very usable.

I have reproduced that with the latest kernel:

  make ARCH=um defconfig; make ARCH=um

Run the resulting kernel, then "inside" run this program:

#include <pthread.h>

 abort();
}

int main()
{
 pthread_t tid;
 pthread_create(&tid, 0, fn, 0);
 pthread_join(tid, 0);
 return 0;
}

Analyze the coredump with GDB. Here is what you'll see:

Examining the core shows that NT_PRSTATUS notes for all threads other than
the one that crashed are zeroed out.

I believe this is happening because neither ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS nor
task_pt_regs are defined under ARCH=um, and so elf_core_copy_task_regs()
becomes a no-op.

Attached patch fixes this for SUBARCH={x86_64,i386}.

13 years agomm/memblock: properly handle overlaps and fix error path
Benjamin Herrenschmidt [Tue, 22 Mar 2011 23:33:43 +0000 (16:33 -0700)]
mm/memblock: properly handle overlaps and fix error path

Currently memblock_reserve() or memblock_free() don't handle overlaps of
any kind.  There is some special casing for coalescing exactly adjacent
regions but that's about it.

This is annoying because typically memblock_reserve() is used to mark
regions passed by the firmware as reserved and we all know how much we can
trust our firmwares...

Also, with the current code, if we do something it doesn't handle right
such as trying to memblock_reserve() a large range spanning multiple
existing smaller reserved regions for example, or doing overlapping
reservations, it can silently corrupt the internal region array, causing
odd errors much later on, such as allocations returning reserved regions
etc...

This patch rewrites the underlying functions that add or remove a region
to the arrays.  The new code is a lot more robust as it fully handles
overlapping regions.  It's also, imho, simpler than the previous
implementation.

In addition, while doing so, I found a bug where if we fail to double the
array while adding a region, we would remove the last region of the array
rather than the region we just allocated.  This fixes it too.

writeback: make mapping->writeback_index to point to the last written page

For range-cyclic writeback (e.g.  kupdate), the writeback code sets a
continuation point of the next writeback to mapping->writeback_index which
is set the page after the last written page.  This happens so that we
evenly write the whole file even if pages in it get continuously
redirtied.

However, in some cases, sequential writer is writing in the middle of the
page and it just redirties the last written page by continuing from that.
For example with an application which uses a file as a big ring buffer we
see:

>>     flush-8:0-2743  4606: block_rq_issue: 8,0 W 0 () 94898554 + 8

So we seeked back to 94898554 after we wrote all the pages at the end of
the file.

This extra seek seems unnecessary.  If we continue writeback from the last
written page, we can avoid it and do not cause harm to other cases.  The
original intent of even writeout over the whole file is preserved and if
the page does not get redirtied pagevec_lookup_tag() just skips it.

As an exceptional case, when I/O error happens, set done_index to the next
page as the comment in the code suggests.
