17 years agortc: remove "RTC_ALM_SET mode" bugs
David Brownell [Tue, 8 May 2007 07:34:07 +0000 (00:34 -0700)]
rtc: remove "RTC_ALM_SET mode" bugs

This fixes a common glitch in how RTC drivers handle two "set alarm" modes,
by getting rid of the surprising/hidden one that was rarely implemented
correctly (and which could expose nonportable hardware-specific behavior).

The glitch comes from the /dev/rtcX logic implementing the legacy
RTC_ALM_SET (limited to 24 hours, needing RTC_AIE_ON) ioctl on top of the
RTC driver call providing access to the newer RTC_WKALM_SET (without those
limitations) by initializing the day/month/year fields to be invalid ...
that second mode.

Now, since few RTC drivers check those fields, and most hardware misbehaves
when faced with invalid date fields, many RTC drivers will set bogus alarm
times on those RTC_ALM_SET code paths.  (Several in-tree drivers have that
issue, and I also noticed it with code reviews on several new RTC drivers.)

This patch ensures that RTC drivers never see such invalid alarm fields, by
moving some logic out of rtc-omap into the RTC_ALM_SET code and adding an
explicit check (which will prevent the issue on other code paths).

17 years agortc-cmos wakeup interface
David Brownell [Tue, 8 May 2007 07:34:00 +0000 (00:34 -0700)]
rtc-cmos wakeup interface

I finally got around to testing the updated wakeup event hooks for rtc-cmos,
and they follow in two patches:

 - Interface update ... when a simple enable_irq_wake() doesn't suffice,
   the platform data can hold suspend/resume callback hooks.

 - ACPI implementation ... provides callback hooks to do ACPI magic, and
   eliminate the legacy /proc/acpi/alarm file.

The interface update could go into 2.6.21, but that's not essential; they
will be NOPs on most PCs, without the ACPI stuff.

I suspect the ACPI folk may have opinions about how to merge that second
patch, and how to obsolete that legacy procfs file.  I'd like to see that
merge into 2.6.22 if possible...

As for how to kick it in ... two ways:

 - The appended "rtcwake" program; updated since the last time it was
   posted, it deals much better with timezones and DST.

 - Write the /sys/class/rtc/.../wakealarm file, then go to sleep.

For some reason RTC wake from "swsusp" stopped working on a system where
it previously worked; the alarm setting appears to get clobbered.  But
on the bright side, RTC wake from "standby" worked on a system that had
never been able to resume from that state before ... IDEACPI is my guess
as to why it finally started to work.  It's the old "two steps forward,
one step back" dance, I guess.

Make rtc-cmos do the relevant magic so this RTC can wake the system from a

 - Straightforward:  enable_irq_wake(), the way it'd work on most SOC chips;
   or generally with system sleep states which don't disable core IRQ logic.

 - Roundabout, using non-IRQ platform hooks.  This is needed with ACPI and
   one almost-clone chip which uses a special wakeup-only alarm.  (That's
   the RTC used on Footbridge boards, FWIW, which don't do PM in Linux.)

A separate patch implements those hooks for ACPI platforms, so that rtc_cmos
can issue system wakeup events (and its sysfs "wakealarm" attribute works on
at least some systems).

RTC class suspend/resume support, re-initializing the system clock on resume
from the clock used to initialize it at boot time.

 - The reinit-on-resume is hooked to the existing RTC_HCTOSYS config
   option, on the grounds that a clock good enough for init must also
   be good enough for re-init.

 - Inlining a version of the code used by ARM, to save and restore the

 - Removes calls to that ARM code from AT91, OMAP1, and S3C RTCs.  This
   means that systems using those RTCs across suspend/resume will likely
   want to change their kernel configs to enable RTC_HCTOSYS.

   If HCTOSYS isn't using a second RTC (with battery?), this changes the
   system's initial date from Jan 1970 to the epoch this hardware uses:
   1998 for AT91, 2000 for OMAP1 (assuming no split power mode), etc.

This goes on top of the patch series removing "struct class_device" usage
from the RTC framework.  That's all needed for class suspend()/resume().

utimensat implementation

Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it

a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps
b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value
c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime
d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines
   of the BSD lutimes(3) functions

For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to
accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter.

Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime
which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work.

Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added.  We have
such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which
not everybody likes (chroot etc).

When/if we reach this limit one day, probably cpus will have a fast
hardware divide and we can zap the reciprocal divide trick.

Ingo suggested to rename cpu_power to __cpu_power to make clear it should
not be modified without changing its reciprocal value too.

I did not convert the divide in cpu_avg_load_per_task(), because tracking
nr_running changes may be not worth it ?  We could use a static table of 32

17 years agoinode numbering: make static counters in new_inode and iunique be 32 bits
Jeff Layton [Tue, 8 May 2007 07:32:29 +0000 (00:32 -0700)]
inode numbering: make static counters in new_inode and iunique be 32 bits

The problems are:

- on filesystems w/o permanent inode numbers, i_ino values can be larger
  than 32 bits, which can cause problems for some 32 bit userspace programs on
  a 64 bit kernel.  We can't do anything for filesystems that have actual
  >32-bit inode numbers, but on filesystems that generate i_ino values on the
  fly, we should try to have them fit in 32 bits.  We could trivially fix this
  by making the static counters in new_inode and iunique 32 bits, but...

- many filesystems call new_inode and assume that the i_ino values they are
  given are unique.  They are not guaranteed to be so, since the static
  counter can wrap.  This problem is exacerbated by the fix for #1.

- after allocating a new inode, some filesystems call iunique to try to get
  a unique i_ino value, but they don't actually add their inodes to the
  hashtable, and so they're still not guaranteed to be unique if that counter
  wraps.

This patch set takes the simpler approach of simply using iunique and hashing
the inodes afterward.  Christoph H.  previously mentioned that he thought that
this approach may slow down lookups for filesystems that currently hash their
inodes.

The questions are:

1) how much would this slow down lookups for these filesystems?
2) is it enough to justify adding more infrastructure to avoid it?

What might be best is to start with this approach and then only move to using
IDR or some other scheme if these extra inodes in the hashtable prove to be
problematic.

I've done some cursory testing with this patch and the overhead of hashing and
unhashing the inodes with pipefs is pretty low -- just a few seconds of system
time added on to the creation and destruction of 10 million pipes (very
similar to the overhead that the IDR approach would add).

The hard thing to measure is what effect this has on other filesystems. I'm
open to ways to try and gauge this.

Again, I've only converted pipefs as an example. If this approach is
acceptable then I'll start work on patches to convert other filesystems.

With a pretty-much-worst-case microbenchmark provided by Eric Dumazet
<dada1@cosmosbay.com>:

hashing patch (pipebench):
sys     1m15.329s
sys     1m16.249s
sys     1m17.169s

unpatched (pipebench):
sys     1m9.836s
sys     1m12.541s
sys     1m14.153s

Which works out to 1.05642174294555027017.  So ~5-6% slowdown.

This patch:

When a 32-bit program that was not compiled with large file offsets does a
stat and gets a st_ino value back that won't fit in the 32 bit field, glibc
(correctly) generates an EOVERFLOW error.  We can't do anything about fs's
with larger permanent inode numbers, but when we generate them on the fly, we
ought to try and have them fit within a 32 bit field.

This patch takes the first step toward this by making the static counters in
these two functions be 32 bits.

au1550 SPI controller driver

Here is a driver for the Alchemy au1550 PSC (Programmable Serial
Controller) in SPI master mode.

It supports dma transfers using the Alchemy descriptor based dma controller
for 4-8 bits per word SPI transfers.  For 9-24 bits per word transfers, pio
irq based mode is used to avoid setup of dma channels from scratch on each
number of bits per word change.

Tested with au1550; this may also work on other MIPS Alchemy cpus, like
au1200/au1210/au1250.  Used extensively with SD card connected via SPI;
this handles 8.1MHz SPI clock transfers using dma without any problem (the
highest SPI clock freq possible with au1550 running on 324MHz).

The driver supports sharing of SPI bus by multiple devices.  All features
of Alchemy SPI mode are supported (all SPI modes, msb/lsb first, bits per
word in 4-24 range).

As the SPI clock of the controller depends on main input clock that shall
be configured externally, platform data structure for au1550 SPI controller
driver contains mainclk_hz attribute to define the input clock rate.  From
this value, dividers of the controller for SPI clock are set up for
required frequency.

being decremented instead of the link count on its parent directory.  This

tpm: fix sleep-in-spinlock

flush_scheduled_work() can sleep, and we're calling it under spinlock.

AFAICS, moving flush_scheduled_work before spin_lock() should not cause any
problems.

Reason being - The only thing that can race against tpm_release is tpm_open
(tpm_release is called when last reference to the file is closed and only
thing that can happen after that is tpm_open??) and tpm_open acquires
driver_lock and more over it bails out with EBUSY if chip->num_opens is
greater than 0.

I also moved chip->num_pending-- to after deleting timer and setting data
pending as it looks more correct for the paranoid although it probably doesn't
matter as it is guarded by driver_lock.  None the less this change should not
cause problems.

Egmont Koblinger [Tue, 8 May 2007 07:30:37 +0000 (00:30 -0700)]
console UTF-8 fixes

The UTF-8 part of the vt driver suffers from the following issues which are
addressed in my patch:

1) If there's no glyph found for a particular valid UTF-8 character, we try
   to display U+FFFD. However if this one is not found either, here's what
   the current kernel does:

   - First, if the Unicode value is less than the number of glyphs, use the
     glyph directly from that position of the glyph table. While it may be a
     good idea in the 8-bit world, it has absolutely no sense with Unicode
     in mind. For example, if a Latin-2 font is loaded and an application
     prints U+00FB ("u with circumflex", not present in Latin-2) then as a
     fallback solution the glyph from the 0xFB position of the Latin-2
     fontset (which is an "u with double accent" - a different character) is
     displayed.

   - Second, if this fallback fails too, a simple ASCII question mark is
     printed, which is visually undistinguishable from a real question mark.

   I changed the code to skip the first step (except if in non-UTF-8 mode),
   and changed the second step to print the question mark with inverse color
   attributes, so it is visually clear that it's not a real question mark,
   and resembles more to the common glyph of U+FFFD.

2) The UTF-8 decoder is buggy in many ways:

   - Lone continuation bytes (section 3.1 of Markus Kuhn's UTF-8 stress
     test) are not caught, they are displayed as some "random" (taken
     directly form the font table, see above) glyphs instead the replacement
     character.

   - Incomplete sequences (sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the stress test) emit no
     replacement character, but rather cause the subsequent valid character
     to be displayed more times(!).

   - The decoder is not safe: overlong sequences are not caught currently,
     they are displayed as if these were valid representations. This may
     even have security impacts.

   - The decoder does not handle D800..DFFF and FFFE..FFFF specially, it
     just emits these code points and lets it be looked up in the glyph
     table. Since these are invalid code points, I replace them by U+FFFD
     and hence give no chance for them to be looked up in the glyph table.
     (Assuming no font ships glyphs for these code points, this change is
     not visible to the users since the glyph shown will be the same.)

   With my fixes to the decoder it now behaves exactly as Markus Kuhn's
   stress test recommends.

3) It has no concept of double-width (CJK) characters. It's way beyond the
   scope of my patch to try to display them, but at least I think it's
   important for the cursor to jump two positions when printing such
   characters, since this is what applications (such as text editors)
   expect. Currently the cursor only jumps one position, and hence
   applications suffer from displaying and refreshing problems, and editing
   some English letters that are preceded by some CJK characters in the same
   line is a nightmare. With my patch an additional space is inserted after
   the CJK character has been printed (which usually means a replacement
   symbol of course). (If U+FFFD isn't availble and hence an inverse
   question mark is displayed in the first cell, I keep the inverted state
   for the space in the 2nd column so it's quite easy to see that they are
   tied together.)

4) There is a small built-in table of zero-width spaces that are not to be
   printed but silently skipped. U+200A is included there, but it's not a
   zero-width character, so I remove it from there.

ext3: copy i_flags to inode flags on write

A patch that stores inode flags such as S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc.  from
i_flags to EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags when inode is written to disk.  The same
thing is done on GETFLAGS ioctl.

Quota code changes these flags on quota files (to make it harder for
sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were not correctly propagated
into the filesystem (especially, lsattr did not show them and users were
wondering...).

Propagate flags such as S_APPEND, S_IMMUTABLE, etc.  from i_flags into
ext3-specific i_flags.  Hence, when someone sets these flags via a
different interface than ioctl, they are stored correctly.

17 years agoCPU time limit patch / setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, 0) cheat fix
Tom Alsberg [Tue, 8 May 2007 07:30:31 +0000 (00:30 -0700)]
CPU time limit patch / setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, 0) cheat fix

As discovered here today, the change in Kernel 2.6.17 intended to inhibit
users from setting RLIMIT_CPU to 0 (as that is equivalent to unlimited) by
"cheating" and setting it to 1 in such a case, does not make a difference,
as the check is done in the wrong place (too late), and only applies to the
profiling code.

On all systems I checked running kernels above 2.6.17, no matter what the
hard and soft CPU time limits were before, a user could escape them by
issuing in the shell (sh/bash/zsh) "ulimit -t 0", and then the user's
process was not ever killed.

Attached is a trivial patch to fix that.  Simply moving the check to a
slightly earlier location (specifically, before the line that actually
assigns the limit - *old_rlim = new_rlim), does the trick.

Do note that at least the zsh (but not ash, dash, or bash) shell has the
problem of "caching" the limits set by the ulimit command, so when running
zsh the fix will not immediately be evident - after entering "ulimit -t 0",
"ulimit -a" will show "-t: cpu time (seconds) 0", even though the actual
limit as returned by getrlimit(...) will be 1.  It can be verified by
opening a subshell (which will not have the values of the parent shell in
cache) and checking in it, or just by running a CPU intensive command like
"echo '65536^1048576' | bc" and verifying that it dumps core after one
second.

Regardless of whether that is a misfeature in the shell, perhaps it would
be better to return -EINVAL from setrlimit in such a case instead of
cheating and setting to 1, as that does not really reflect the actual state
of the process anymore.  I do not however know what the ground for that
decision was in the original 2.6.17 change, and whether there would be any
"backward" compatibility issues, so I preferred not to touch that right
now.
