freezer vs stopped or traced

This changes the "freezer" code used by suspend/hibernate in its treatment
of tasks in TASK_STOPPED (job control stop) and TASK_TRACED (ptrace) states.

As I understand it, the intent of the "freezer" is to hold all tasks
from doing anything significant.  For this purpose, TASK_STOPPED and
TASK_TRACED are "frozen enough".  It's possible the tasks might resume
from ptrace calls (if the tracer were unfrozen) or from signals
(including ones that could come via timer interrupts, etc).  But this
doesn't matter as long as they quickly block again while "freezing" is
in effect.  Some minor adjustments to the signal.c code make sure that
try_to_freeze() very shortly follows all wakeups from both kinds of
stop.  This lets the freezer code safely leave stopped tasks unmolested.

Changing this fixes the longstanding bug of seeing after resuming from
suspend/hibernate your shell report "[1] Stopped" and the like for all
your jobs stopped by ^Z et al, as if you had freshly fg'd and ^Z'd them.
It also removes from the freezer the arcane special case treatment for
ptrace'd tasks, which relied on intimate knowledge of ptrace internals.

KVM: VMX: Avoid rearranging switched guest msrs while they are loaded

KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of
host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive.  It also tries to minimize
the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example,
MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests.  This optimization is done by
setup_msrs().

However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with
guest msr state:

 - switch to guest msr state
 - call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list
 - switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded

An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest.  Early during
setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE.  KVM will stop saving
MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded.
The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel.

Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list.

KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pte

For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other
vcpus.  This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have
write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be
modified.

The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not
new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have
modified the pte without the shadow lock.  However the assumption is incorrect,
as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow
page, before our vcpu regains control:

  vcpu0        vcpu1

  fault
  walk pte

               modify pte
               fault in same pagetable
               instantiate shadow page

  lookup shadow page
  conclude it is old
  instantiate spte based on stale guest pte

We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by
Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation
unconditionally.  The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can
be quite fast.

2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong.

will_become_orphaned_pgrp: partially fix insufficient ->exit_state check

p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have
sub-threads.  Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)"
instead.

Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process
if the main thread has exited.

However, the new check is not perfect either.  There is a window when
exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task().  Suppose that
the last (non-leader) thread exits.  This means that entire group exits,
but thread_group_empty() is not true yet.

As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not
dare to do other changes.

Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too.  But we
can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues.

Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread.
The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it.  This
is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately.

16 years agoAllow ARG_MAX execve string space even with a small stack limit
Linus Torvalds [Mon, 3 Mar 2008 18:12:14 +0000 (10:12 -0800)]
Allow ARG_MAX execve string space even with a small stack limit

The new code that removed the limitation on the execve string size
(which was historically 32 pages) replaced it with a much softer limit
based on RLIMIT_STACK which is usually much larger than the traditional
limit.  See commit b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba ("mm:
variable length argument support") for details.

However, if you have a small stack limit (perhaps because you need lots
of stacks in a threaded environment), the new heuristic of allowing up
to 1/4th of RLIMIT_STACK to be used for argument and environment strings
could actually be smaller than the old limit.

So just say that it's ok to have up to ARG_MAX strings regardless of the
value of RLIMIT_STACK, and check the rlimit only when going over that
traditional limit.

(Of course, if you actually have a *really* small stack limit, the whole
stack itself will be limited before you hit ARG_MAX, but that has always
been true and is clearly the right behaviour anyway).

Note that this crash happened _after_ firewire-core was unloaded.  The
shared workqueue tried to run firewire-core's device initialization jobs
or similar jobs.

The fix makes sure that firewire-ohci and hence firewire-core is not
unloaded before all device shutdown jobs have been completed.  This is
determined by the count of device initializations minus device releases.

Also skip useless retries in the node initialization job if the node is
to be shut down.

firewire: potentially invalid pointers used in fw_card_bm_work

The bus management workqueue job was in danger to dereference NULL
pointers.  Also, after having temporarily lifted card->lock, a few node
pointers and a device pointer may have become invalid.

Add NULL pointer checks and get the necessary references.  Also, move
card->local_node out of fw_card_bm_work's sight during shutdown of the
card.

had the unintended effect that firewire-sbp2 could not be unloaded
anymore until all SBP-2 devices were unplugged.

We now fix the NULL pointer bug by reacquiring a reference to the sdev

pte_lock_deinit() and dec_zone_page_state().  So free_pgd_slow must not call

[PATCH] drop EOE records from printk

Hi,

While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE
(end of event) records which is really not something that we need in syslog.
Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit
daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.
