I am of the opinion that the above changeset is incomplete, i.e.  it missed
converting some previous uses of user_mode to user_mode_vm.  While most of
them could be considered just cosmetical, at least the one in die_nmi
doesn't appear to be.

18 years ago[PATCH] i386: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain callbacks
Jan Beulich [Thu, 23 Mar 2006 10:59:45 +0000 (02:59 -0800)]
[PATCH] i386: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain callbacks

Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously
primarily intended for use by modules.  However, the way these currently
get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by
modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger
the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result.

This is because the callback gets invoked

(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
    gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
    entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and

(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
    since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
    potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in-
kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed
memory inside their handlers.

[PATCH] x86: early printk handling fixes

The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months
already.  The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init,
and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing...  OK,
booting kernel", and silence.  Early console didn't work too.  With the
latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown
interrupt or fault" messages.  So today my patience ran out and I started
to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report.  Attached
is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem
by making an early console more useable.  I can't properly test the patch,
as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope
someone else can justify the intrusive changes.

arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk().

setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype.  Moved
setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover
the bug I was fighting with.

early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen,
otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you
can't read them.

Gerd Hoffmann [Thu, 23 Mar 2006 10:59:32 +0000 (02:59 -0800)]
[PATCH] x86: SMP alternatives

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e.  switching at runtime between different
code versions for UP and SMP.  The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.

With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
of CPUs goes up to 2.

Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
afterwards.

The changes in detail:

  * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
    the SMP alternatives code is added there.

  * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
    .smp_altinstructions
like .altinstructions, also contains a list
of alt_instr structs.
    .smp_altinstr_replacement
like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
save original instruction before replaving it.
    .smp_locks
list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
out on UP.
    The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
    sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores.  It would be possible
    to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
    them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.

 * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
   can be free if they are not needed.

 * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
   use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

18 years ago[PATCH] fix scheduler deadlock
Anton Blanchard [Thu, 23 Mar 2006 10:59:20 +0000 (02:59 -0800)]
[PATCH] fix scheduler deadlock

We have noticed lockups during boot when stress testing kexec on ppc64.
Two cpus would deadlock in scheduler code trying to grab already taken
spinlocks.

The double_rq_lock code uses the address of the runqueue to order the
taking of multiple locks.  This address is a per cpu variable:

if (rq1 < rq2) {
spin_lock(&rq1->lock);
spin_lock(&rq2->lock);
} else {
spin_lock(&rq2->lock);
spin_lock(&rq1->lock);
}

On the other hand, the code in wake_sleeping_dependent uses the cpu id
order to grab locks:

for_each_cpu_mask(i, sibling_map)
spin_lock(&cpu_rq(i)->lock);

This means we rely on the address of per cpu data increasing as cpu ids
increase.  While this will be true for the generic percpu implementation it
may not be true for arch specific implementations.

One way to solve this is to always take runqueues in cpu id order. To do
this we add a cpu variable to the runqueue and check it in the
double runqueue locking functions.

[TCP]: Do not use inet->id of global tcp_socket when sending RST.

The problem is in ip_push_pending_frames(), which uses:

        if (!df) {
                __ip_select_ident(iph, &rt->u.dst, 0);
        } else {
                iph->id = htons(inet->id++);
        }

instead of ip_select_ident().

Right now I think the code is a nonsense. Most likely, I copied it from
old ip_build_xmit(), where it was really special, we had to decide
whether to generate unique ID when generating the first (well, the last)
fragment.

In ip_push_pending_frames() it does not make sense, it should use plain
ip_select_ident() instead.

Add a slab cache for the SELinux inode security struct, one of which is
allocated for every inode instantiated by the system.

The memory savings are considerable.

On 64-bit, instead of the size-128 cache, we have a slab object of 96
bytes, saving 32 bytes per object.  After booting, I see about 4000 of
these and then about 17,000 after a kernel compile.  With this patch, we
save around 530KB of kernel memory in the latter case.  On 32-bit, the
savings are about half of this.

Stephen Smalley [Wed, 22 Mar 2006 08:09:13 +0000 (00:09 -0800)]
[PATCH] selinux: Disable automatic labeling of new inodes when no policy is loaded

This patch disables the automatic labeling of new inodes on disk
when no policy is loaded.

Discussion is here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=180296

In short, we're changing the behavior so that when no policy is loaded,
SELinux does not label files at all.  Currently it does add an 'unlabeled'
label in this case, which we've found causes problems later.

SELinux always maintains a safe internal label if there is none, so with this
patch, we just stick with that and wait until a policy is loaded before adding
a persistent label on disk.

The effect is simply that if you boot with SELinux enabled but no policy
loaded and create a file in that state, SELinux won't try to set a security
extended attribute on the new inode on the disk.  This is the only sane
behavior for SELinux in that state, as it cannot determine the right label to
assign in the absence of a policy.  That state usually doesn't occur, but the
rawhide installer seemed to be misbehaving temporarily so it happened to show
up on a test install.

cache_reap takes the l3->list_lock (disabling interrupts) unconditionally

cache_reap() only take the lock if there is work to do and then the lock is
taken and released for each cleaning action.

The checking of when to do the next reaping is done without any locking and
becomes racy.  Should not matter since reaping can also be skipped if the
slab mutex cannot be acquired.

The same is true for the touched processing.  If we get this wrong once in
awhile then we will mistakenly clean or not clean the shared cache.  This
will impact performance slightly.

Note that the additional drain_array() function introduced here will fall
out in a subsequent patch since array cleaning will now be very similar
