[PATCH] fix do_coredump() vs SIGSTOP race

Let's suppose we have 2 threads in thread group:
A - does coredump
B - has pending SIGSTOP

thread A thread B

do_coredump: get_signal_to_deliver:

  lock(->sighand)
  ->signal->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
  unlock(->sighand)

lock(->sighand)
signr = dequeue_signal()
->signal->flags |= SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
return SIGSTOP;

do_signal_stop:
    unlock(->sighand)

  coredump_wait:

      zap_threads:
          lock(tasklist_lock)
          send SIGKILL to B
              // signal_wake_up() does nothing
          unlock(tasklist_lock)

    lock(tasklist_lock)
    lock(->sighand)
    re-check sig->flags & SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, yes
    set_current_state(TASK_STOPPED);
    finish_stop:
        schedule();
            // ->state == TASK_STOPPED

      wait_for_completion(&startup_done)
         // waits for complete() from B,
         // ->state == TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE

We can't wake up 'B' in any way:

SIGCONT will be ignored because handle_stop_signal() sees
->signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.

sys_kill(SIGKILL)->__group_complete_signal() will choose
uninterruptible 'A', so it can't help.

sys_tkill(B, SIGKILL) will be ignored by specific_send_sig_info()
because B already has pending SIGKILL.

This scenario is not possbile if 'A' does do_group_exit(), because
it sets sig->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and delivers SIGKILL to
subthreads atomically, holding both tasklist_lock and sighand->lock.
That means that do_signal_stop() will notice !SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
after re-locking ->sighand. And it is not possible to any other
thread to re-add SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED later, because dequeue_signal()
can only return SIGKILL.

I think it is better to change do_coredump() to do sigaddset(SIGKILL)
and signal_wake_up() under sighand->lock, but this patch is much
simpler.

[IA64] Avoid kernel hang during CMC interrupt storm

I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was
tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler.

There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC
interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs.
Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context,
the disable is done with a schedule_work().  But with continual CMC
interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed.

The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current
CPU.  This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts,
execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest
of the CPUs.

The breakage is caused by the change to use the CB area for flagging
whether a packet has been queued due to proxy_delay.  This area gets
cleared every time arp_rcv gets called.  Unfortunately packets delayed
due to proxy_delay also go through arp_rcv when they are reprocessed.

In fact, I can't think of a reason why delayed proxy packets should go
through netfilter again at all.  So the easiest solution is to bypass
that and go straight to arp_process.

This is essentially what would've happened before netfilter support
was added to ARP.

19 years ago[INET]: speedup inet (tcp/dccp) lookups
Eric Dumazet [Mon, 3 Oct 2005 21:13:38 +0000 (14:13 -0700)]
[INET]: speedup inet (tcp/dccp) lookups

Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other
pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo)

(The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line,
so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs)

1) First some performance data :
--------------------------------

tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established()

The most time critical code is :

sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
     if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
         goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
}

The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
"struct sock" is prefetched.

As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
lines.

This can be problematic if some chains are very long.

2) The goal
-----------

The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
using one cache line per iteration.

3) Description of the patch
---------------------------

Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.

struct sock_common {
unsigned short skc_family;
volatile unsigned char skc_state;
unsigned char skc_reuse;
int skc_bound_dev_if;
struct hlist_node skc_node;
struct hlist_node skc_bind_node;
atomic_t skc_refcnt;
+ unsigned int skc_hash;
struct proto *skc_prot;
};

Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
line in case of a miss.

Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
(ehash_size - 1)

File include/net/inet_hashtables.h

64 bits platforms :
#define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
     (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))
     ((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie))   &&  \
     ((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports))   &&  \
     (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))

32bits platforms:
#define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
     (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))                 &&  \
     (inet_sk(__sk)->daddr          == (__saddr))   &&  \
     (inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr      == (__daddr))   &&  \
     (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))

- Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in
__inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and
__dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the
list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);

[NET]: Fix packet timestamping.

I've found the problem in general.  It affects any 64-bit
architecture.  The problem occurs when you change the system time.

Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base.  You then wind the clock back
by a day.  From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.

In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.

When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.
