The attached patch adds LSM hooks for key management facilities. The notable
changes are:
(1) The key struct now supports a security pointer for the use of security
modules. This will permit key labelling and restrictions on which
programs may access a key.
(2) Security modules get a chance to note (or abort) the allocation of a key.
(3) The key permission checking can now be enhanced by the security modules;
the permissions check consults LSM if all other checks bear out.
(4) The key permissions checking functions now return an error code rather
than a boolean value.
(5) An extra permission has been added to govern the modification of
attributes (UID, GID, permissions).
Note that there isn't an LSM hook specifically for each keyctl() operation,
but rather the permissions hook allows control of individual operations based
on the permission request bits.
Key management access control through LSM is enabled by automatically if both
CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_SECURITY are enabled.

[PATCH] ptrace/coredump/exit_group deadlock
I could seldom reproduce a deadlock with a task not killable in T state
(TASK_STOPPED, not TASK_TRACED) by attaching a NPTL threaded program to
gdb, by segfaulting the task and triggering a core dump while some other
task is executing exit_group and while one task is in ptrace_attached
TASK_STOPPED state (not TASK_TRACED yet). This originated from a gdb
bugreport (the fact gdb was segfaulting the task wasn't a kernel bug), but
I just incidentally noticed the gdb bug triggered a real kernel bug as
well.
Most threads hangs in exit_mm because the core_dumping is still going, the
core dumping hangs because the stopped task doesn't exit, the stopped task
can't wakeup because it has SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT set, hence the deadlock.
To me it seems that the problem is that the force_sig_specific(SIGKILL) in
zap_threads is a noop if the task has PF_PTRACED set (like in this case
because gdb is attached). The __ptrace_unlink does nothing because the
signal->flags is set to SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT|SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED (verified).
The above info also shows that the stopped task hit a race and got the stop
signal (presumably by the ptrace_attach, only the attach, state is still
TASK_STOPPED and gdb hangs waiting the core before it can set it to
TASK_TRACED) after one of the thread invoked the core dump (it's the core
dump that sets signal->flags to SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT).
So beside the fact nobody would wakeup the task in __ptrace_unlink (the
state is _not_ TASK_TRACED), there's a secondary problem in the signal
handling code, where a task should ignore the ptrace-sigstops as long as
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set (or the wakeup in __ptrace_unlink path wouldn't be
enough).
So I attempted to make this patch that seems to fix the problem. There
were various ways to fix it, perhaps you prefer a different one, I just
opted to the one that looked safer to me.
I also removed the clearing of the stopped bits from the zap_other_threads
(zap_other_threads was safe unlike zap_threads). I don't like useless
code, this whole NPTL signal/ptrace thing is already unreadable enough and
full of corner cases without confusing useless code into it to make it even
less readable. And if this code is really needed, then you may want to
explain why it's not being done in the other paths that sets
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT at least.
Even after this patch I still wonder who serializes the read of
p->ptrace in zap_threads.
Patch is called ptrace-core_dump-exit_group-deadlock-1.

[PATCH] cpusets: automatic numa mempolicy rebinding
This patch automatically updates a tasks NUMA mempolicy when its cpuset
memory placement changes. It does so within the context of the task,
without any need to support low level external mempolicy manipulation.
If a system is not using cpusets, or if running on a system with just the
root (all-encompassing) cpuset, then this remap is a no-op. Only when a
task is moved between cpusets, or a cpusets memory placement is changed
does the following apply. Otherwise, the main routine below,
rebind_policy() is not even called.
When mixing cpusets, scheduler affinity, and NUMA mempolicies, the
essential role of cpusets is to place jobs (several related tasks) on a set
of CPUs and Memory Nodes, the essential role of sched_setaffinity is to
manage a jobs processor placement within its allowed cpuset, and the
essential role of NUMA mempolicy (mbind, set_mempolicy) is to manage a jobs
memory placement within its allowed cpuset.
However, CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement are managed within the
kernel using absolute system wide numbering, not cpuset relative numbering.
This is ok until a job is migrated to a different cpuset, or what's the
same, a jobs cpuset is moved to different CPUs and Memory Nodes.
Then the CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement of the tasks in the job
need to be updated, to preserve their cpuset-relative position. This can
be done for CPU affinity using sched_setaffinity() from user code, as one
task can modify anothers CPU affinity. This cannot be done from an
external task for NUMA memory placement, as that can only be modified in
the context of the task using it.
However, it easy enough to remap a tasks NUMA mempolicy automatically when
a task is migrated, using the existing cpuset mechanism to trigger a
refresh of a tasks memory placement after its cpuset has changed. All that
is needed is the old and new nodemask, and notice to the task that it needs
to rebind its mempolicy. The tasks mems_allowed has the old mask, the
tasks cpuset has the new mask, and the existing
cpuset_update_current_mems_allowed() mechanism provides the notice. The
bitmap/cpumask/nodemask remap operators provide the cpuset relative
calculations.
This patch leaves open a couple of issues:
1) Updating vma and shmfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs memory policies:
These mempolicies may reference nodes outside of those allowed to
the current task by its cpuset. Tasks are migrated as part of jobs,
which reside on what might be several cpusets in a subtree. When such
a job is migrated, all NUMA memory policy references to nodes within
that cpuset subtree should be translated, and references to any nodes
outside that subtree should be left untouched. A future patch will
provide the cpuset mechanism needed to mark such subtrees. With that
patch, we will be able to correctly migrate these other memory policies
across a job migration.
2) Updating cpuset, affinity and memory policies in user space:
This is harder. Any placement state stored in user space using
system-wide numbering will be invalidated across a migration. More
work will be required to provide user code with a migration-safe means
to manage its cpuset relative placement, while preserving the current
API's that pass system wide numbers, not cpuset relative numbers across
the kernel-user boundary.

As with other bitmap operations, the proper way to code this is to provide

[PATCH] cpusets: confine pdflush to its cpuset
This patch keeps pdflush daemons on the same cpuset as their parent, the
kthread daemon.
Some large NUMA configurations put as much as they can of kernel threads
and other classic Unix load in what's called a bootcpuset, keeping the rest
of the system free for dedicated jobs.
This effort is thwarted by pdflush, which dynamically destroys and
recreates pdflush daemons depending on load.
It's easy enough to force the originally created pdflush deamons into the
bootcpuset, at system boottime. But the pdflush threads created later were
allowed to run freely across the system, due to the necessary line in their
startup kthread():
set_cpus_allowed(current, CPU_MASK_ALL);
By simply coding pdflush to start its threads with the cpus_allowed
restrictions of its cpuset (inherited from kthread, its parent) we can
ensure that dynamically created pdflush threads are also kept in the
bootcpuset.
On systems w/o cpusets, or w/o a bootcpuset implementation, the following
will have no affect, leaving pdflush to run on any CPU, as before.

Add support for renaming cpusets. Only allow simple rename of cpuset
directories in place. Don't allow moving cpusets elsewhere in hierarchy or

The usefulness of this simple rename became apparent when developing task
migration facilities. It allows building a second cpuset hierarchy using
new names and containing new CPUs and Memory Nodes, moving tasks from the
old to the new cpusets, removing the old cpusets, and then renaming the new
cpusets to be just like the old names, so that any knowledge that the tasks
had of their cpuset names will still be valid.
Leaf node cpusets can be migrated to other CPUs or Memory Nodes by just
updating their 'cpus' and 'mems' files, but because no cpuset can contain
CPUs or Nodes not in its parent cpuset, one cannot do this in a cpuset
hierarchy without first expanding all the non-leaf cpusets to contain the
union of both the old and new CPUs and Nodes, which would obfuscate the
one-to-one migration of a task from one cpuset to another required to
correctly migrate the physical page frames currently allocated to that

[PATCH] cpusets: dual semaphore locking overhaul
Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

I grepped the GDB 6.3 source code and NT_TASKSTRUCT while defined is not

In addition exporting kernel pointers to all the interesting kernel data
structures sounds like the very definition of an information leak. I
haven't a clue what someone with evil intentions could do with that
information, but in any attack against the kernel it looks like this is the
perfect tool for aiming that attack.

TIOCSTART and TIOCSTOP are defined in asm/ioctls.h and asm/termios.h by
various architectures but not actually implemented anywhere but in the IRIX
compatibility layer, so remove their COMPATIBLE_IOCTL from parisc, ppc64
and sparc64.
Move the TIOCSLTC COMPATIBLE_IOCTL to common code, guided by an ifdef to
only show up on architectures that support it (same as the code handling it
in tty_ioctl.c), aswell as it's brother TIOCGLTC that wasn't handled so
far.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: move tasklist walk to elevator.c
We're trying to get rid of as much as possible tasklist walks, or at
least moving them to core code. This patch falls into the second
category.
Instead of walking the tasklist in cfq-iosched move that into
elv_unregister. The added benefit is that with this change the as
ioscheduler might be might unloadable more easily aswell.
The new code uses read_lock instead of read_lock_irq because the
tasklist_lock only needs irq disabling for writers.

[PATCH] ext3: Fix unmapped buffers in transaction's lists
Fix the problem (BUG 4964) with unmapped buffers in transaction's
t_sync_data list. The problem is we need to call filesystem's own
invalidatepage() from block_write_full_page().
block_write_full_page() must call filesystem's invalidatepage(). Otherwise
following nasty race can happen:
proc 1 proc 2
------ ------
- write some new data to 'offset'
=> bh gets to the transactions data list
- starts truncate
=> i_size set to new size
- mpage_writepages()
- ext3_ordered_writepage() to 'offset'
- block_write_full_page()
- page->index > end_index+1
- block_invalidatepage()
- discard_buffer()
- clear_buffer_mapped()
- commit triggers and finds unmapped buffer - BOOM!

[PATCH] i386: use -mcpu, not -mtune, for GCCs older than 3.4
I just noted that -mtune is used, which is only supported on recent GCCs; by
reading http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html, you see "-mcpu has been
renamed to -mtune.", so for GCC < 3.4 we're not using any specific tuning in
the appropriate cases. However -mcpu is deprecated, so use -mtune when
possible.
This was introduced by commit e9d4dce954a60dc23dd1d967766ca2347b780e54 of the
old tree (between 2.6.10-rc3 and 2.6.10) by Linus Torvalds, to remove the use
of -march, since that could trigger gcc using SSE on its own. But no
attention was used about using -mcpu vs. -mtune.
And btw, the old 2.6.4 code (for instance) was:
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium2,-march=i686)
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686)
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMM) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686)
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUM4) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium4,-march=i686)

Make UML share the underlying cpu-specific tuning done on i386.
Actually, for now many config options aren't used a lot - but that can be done
later. Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such
more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough.
Later, we may want to correct some other stuff.
For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least
partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may
allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs.
kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.

[PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers
cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state.
When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing
to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when
CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs.
We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State
transitions can still work on the other threads to save power.
Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically.
There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but
probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give
this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably
good for the first cut.
- Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt.
The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the
hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this
so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution
was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration
until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me.
(akpm: export cpucontrol to GPL modules: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c now
does lock_cpu_hotplug())

Some modules creating sysfs entries under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/
need to know the parent sysfs entry to make devices under them. This will
just return the sysfs entry for a given cpu.
sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such
entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass. The
issue is when the entry is created the CPU may not be online, hence we
would need to defer the creation until the online notification comes.
