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).

Eric Paris [Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:53:05 +0000 (15:53 -0500)]
[RFC] AUDIT: do not panic when printk loses messages

On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure
state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic.
This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules.
These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel
interface which is already known to be lossy.  These will overun the
default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call
audit_panic().  The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come
through while auditd is stopped.

This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by
just not panicing if auditd is not running.  We know printk is lossy and
if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use
printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try?
At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will
eventually know that things went bad.

The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd
disappears.  We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send
it so that message is lost.  At least this way we will account for the
last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic.  This code
path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons.  If
auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk
this code path.

x86: CPA: avoid split of alias mappings

avoid over-eager large page splitup.

When the target area needs to be split or is split already (ioremap)
then the current code enforces the split of large mappings in the alias
regions even if we could avoid it.

Use a separate variable processed in the cpa_data structure to carry
the number of pages which have been processed instead of reusing the
numpages variable. This keeps numpages intact and gives the alias code
a chance to keep large mappings intact.

16 years agox86: fix pmd_bad and pud_bad to support huge pages
Hans Rosenfeld [Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:10:47 +0000 (18:10 +0100)]
x86: fix pmd_bad and pud_bad to support huge pages

I recently stumbled upon a problem in the support for huge pages. If a
program using huge pages does not explicitly unmap them, they remain
mapped (and therefore, are lost) after the program exits.

I observed that the free huge page count in /proc/meminfo decreased when
running my program, and it did not increase after the program exited.
After running the program a few times, no more huge pages could be
allocated.

The reason for this seems to be that the x86 pmd_bad and pud_bad
consider pmd/pud entries having the PSE bit set invalid. I think there
is nothing wrong with this bit being set, it just indicates that the
lowest level of translation has been reached. This bit has to be (and
is) checked after the basic validity of the entry has been checked, like
in this fragment from follow_page() in mm/memory.c:

  if (pmd_none(*pmd) || unlikely(pmd_bad(*pmd)))
          goto no_page_table;

  if (pmd_huge(*pmd)) {
          BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET);
          page = follow_huge_pmd(mm, address, pmd, flags & FOLL_WRITE);
          goto out;
  }

Note that this code currently doesn't work as intended if the pmd refers
to a huge page, the pmd_huge() check can not be reached if the page is
huge.

Extending pmd_bad() (and, for future 1GB page support, pud_bad()) to
allow for the PSE bit being set fixes this. For similar reasons,
allowing the NX bit being set is necessary, too. I have seen huge pages
having the NX bit set in their pmd entry, which would cause the same
problem.

[XFS] If you mount an XFS filesystem with no mount options at all, then

This regression was introduced in 970451.

int ikeep = 0;

There is a potential race between flushes of the entire SLB in the MFC

that we might put a ESID entry into the MFC SLB when the VSID entry has

[POWERPC] spufs: invalidate SLB translation before adding a new entry

When we replace an SLB entry in the MFC after using up all the available
entries, there is a short window in which an incorrect entry is marked
as valid.

The problem is that the 'valid' bit is stored in the ESID, which is
always written after the VSID. Overwriting the VSID first will make the
original ESID entry point to the new VSID, which means that any
concurrent DMA accessing the old ESID ends up being redirected to the
new virtual address.  A few cycles later, we write the new ESID and
everything is fine again.

That race can be closed by writing a zero entry to the ESID first, which
makes sure that the VSID is not accessed until we write the new ESID.

Note that we don't actually need to invalidate the SLB entry using the
invalidation register, which would also flush any ERAT entries for that
segment, because the segment translation does not become invalid but is
only removed from the SLB cache.
