16 years agoAdd a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function
David Brownell [Thu, 1 May 2008 11:34:42 +0000 (04:34 -0700)]
Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function

Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function, which ignores
the trailing newlines found in sysfs inputs.  By example:

sysfs_streq("a", "b") ==> false
sysfs_streq("a", "a") ==> true
sysfs_streq("a", "a\n") ==> true
sysfs_streq("a\n", "a") ==> true

This is intended to simplify parsing of sysfs inputs, letting them
avoid the need to manually strip off newlines from inputs.

16 years agointroduce explicit signed/unsigned 64bit divide
Roman Zippel [Thu, 1 May 2008 11:34:25 +0000 (04:34 -0700)]
introduce explicit signed/unsigned 64bit divide

The current do_div doesn't explicitly say that it's unsigned and the signed
counterpart is missing, which is e.g.  needed when dealing with time values.

This introduces 64bit signed/unsigned divide functions which also attempts to
cleanup the somewhat awkward calling API, which often requires the use of
temporary variables for the dividend.  To avoid the need for temporary
variables everywhere for the remainder, each divide variant also provides a
version which doesn't return the remainder.

Each architecture can now provide optimized versions of these function,
otherwise generic fallback implementations will be used.

As an example I provided an alternative for the current x86 divide, which
avoids the asm casts and using an union allows gcc to generate better code.
It also avoids the upper divde in a few more cases, where the result is known
(i.e.  upper quotient is zero).

Fix cpu hotplug problem in softirq code

currently cpu hotplug (unplug) seems broken on s390 and likely others. On cpu
unplug the system starts to behave very strange and hangs.

I bisected the problem to the following commit:

commit 48f20a9a9488c432fc86df1ff4b7f4fa895d1183

tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queued

Reverting this patch seems to fix the problem.  I looked into takeover_tasklet
and it seems that there is a way to corrupt the tail pointer of the current
cpu.  If the tasklet list of the frozen cpu is empty, the tail pointer of the
current cpu points to the address of the head pointer of the stopped cpu and
not to the next pointer of a tasklet_struct.

This patch avoids the list splice of the list is empty and cpu hotplug seems
to work as the tail pointer is not corrupted.  Olof, can you look into that
patch and ACK/NACK it so Andrew can push this to Linus, if appropriate?
Please note that some lines are longer than 80 chars, but line-wrapping looked
worse that this version.

16 years agosysfs: Disallow truncation of files in sysfs
Ben Hutchings [Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:59:58 +0000 (15:59 +0100)]
sysfs: Disallow truncation of files in sysfs

sysfs allows attribute files to be truncated, e.g. using ftruncate(), with the
expected effect on their inode.   For most attributes, this doesn't change the
"real" size of the file i.e. how much can be read from it.  However, the
parameter validation for reading and writing binary attribute files is based
on the inode size and not the size specified in the file's bin_attribute, so it
can be broken by this. For example, if we try using dd to write to such a file:

# pwd
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 4096 Feb  1 17:35 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Feb  1 17:50 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1 seek=128
dd: writing `config': No space left on device
1+0 records in
0+0 records out

Also, after truncation to 0, parameter validation for read and write is
disabled.  Most bin_attribute read and write methods also validate the size and
offset, but for some this will allow out-of-range access.  This may be a
security issue, though access to such files is often limited to root.  In any
case, the validation should remain for safety's sake!)

This was previously reported in Bugzilla as bug 9867.

sysfs should ignore size changes or else refuse them (by returning -EINVAL).
This patch makes it ignore them.

to all RAM pages) breaks OLPC's ioremap call.  The ioremap that OLPC uses is:

        romsig = ioremap(0xffffffc0, 16);

The commit that breaks it is basically:

-       for (pfn = phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT; pfn < max_pfn_mapped &&
-            (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) < last_addr; pfn++) {
+       for (pfn = phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT;
+                               (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) < last_addr; pfn++) {
+

Previously, the 'pfn < max_pfn_mapped' check would've caused us to not
enter the loop.  Removing that check means we loop infinitely.  The
reason for that is because pfn is 0xfffff, and last_addr is 0xffffffcf.
The remaining check that is used to exit the loop is not sufficient;
when pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT is 0xfffff000, that is less than 0xffffffcf; when
we increment pfn and it overflows (pfn == 0x100000), pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT
ends up being 0.  That, of course, is less than last_addr.  In effect,
pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT is never lower than last_addr.

The simple fix for this is to limit the last_addr check to the PAGE_MASK;

x86: fix HT cpu booting on 32-bit

Since recent smpboot 32/64-bit merge, my dual Xeon with HT has been
booting only 2 of its 4 cpus (when running an i386 kernel; but x86_64
is okay).  J.A. Magallón reports the same.

 native_cpu_up: bad cpu 2
 native_cpu_up: bad cpu 3

The mach-default cpu_present_to_apicid() was just returning cpu number
(2, 3) instead of apicid (6, 7): looks like we now need the x86_64 code
even for the i386 case.

Comparing with other versions of cpu_present_to_apicid(), it seems a
good idea to include an NR_CPUS test too, since cpu_present() doesn't
include that; but that wasn't a problem here, and may no problem at all.

Prior to that smpboot merge, my Xeon booted the two HT siblings on one
physical first, then the two siblings on the other physical after - when
i386, but alternated them when x86_64.  Since the merge, the x86_64
sequence is unchanged, but the i386 sequence is now like x86_64.

I prefer this consistency, and I prefer the new sequence: booting with
maxcpus=2 then uses the independent physicals without HT sharing.

Once all the X drivers move to ioremap_wc(), we can go back to strong

ACPI: Fix acpi_processor_idle and idle= boot parameters interaction

acpi_processor_idle and "idle=" boot parameter interaction is broken.
The problem is that, at boot time acpi driver is checking for "idle=" boot
option and not registering the acpi idle handler. But, when there is a CST
changed callback (typically when switching AC <-> battery or suspend-resume)
there are no checks for boot_option_idle_override and acpi idle handler tries
to get installed with nasty side effects.

With CPU_IDLE configured this issue causes results in a nasty oops on CST
change callback and without CPU_IDLE there is no oops, but boot option
of "idle=" gets ignored and acpi idle handler gets installed.

Change the behavior to not do anything in acpi idle handler when there is a
"idle=" boot option.

Note that the problem is only there when "idle=" boot option is used.

Author: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>
Date:   Mon Apr 28 02:13:33 2008 -0700

    memory hotplug: allocate usemap on the section with pgdat

    Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.

    Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated
    on only one page.  If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing
    other sections.  This dependency is not desirable for memory removing.

    Pgdat has similar feature.  When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last
    section for removing on the node.  So, if section A has pgdat and section B
    has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency
    each other.

    To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat.
    If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be
    removed finally.

What was happening is that migrate_page_copy wants to transfer the PG_dirty
bit from old page to new page, so what it would do is set_page_dirty(newpage).
However set_page_dirty() is used to set the entire page dirty, wheras in
this case, only part of the page was dirty, and it also was not uptodate.

Marking the whole page dirty with set_page_dirty would lead to corruption or
unresolvable conditions -- a dirty && !uptodate page and dirty && !uptodate
buffers.

Possibly we could just ClearPageDirty(oldpage); SetPageDirty(newpage);
however in the interests of keeping the change minimal...

16 years agoinfrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects
Thomas Gleixner [Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:55:01 +0000 (00:55 -0700)]
infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects

We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:

1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objects

Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore.  One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.

While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause.  This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.

The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.

Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.

The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash.  Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.

Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.

The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.

The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem list

Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation.  When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.

The list of operations can be extended if the need arises.  For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).

The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets.  The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree.  Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.

The debug code can be compiled in without being active.  The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives.  A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.

Thanks to Ingo Molnar for review, suggestions and cleanup patches.
