2009-08-13genirq: prevent wakeup of freed irq threadLinus Torvalds
free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up the handler thread. Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be freed anyway. This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.

2009-08-13perf_counter: Report the cloning task as parent on perf_counter_fork()Peter Zijlstra
A bug in (9f498cc: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up. [ output as: (PID:TID):(PPID:PTID) ] # ./perf report -D | grep FORK 0x4b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3237):(3236:3236) 0xa10 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3238):(3236:3236) 0xa70 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3239):(3236:3236) 0xad0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3240):(3236:3236) 0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236) Shows us that the test (27d028d perf report: Update for the new FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c: /* * A thread clone will have the same PID for both * parent and child. */ if (thread == parent) return 0; Will clearly fail. The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual parent, instead of the cloning thread. Fixing that (with the below patch), yields: # ./perf report -D | grep FORK 0x4c8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1590):(1589:1589) 0xbd8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1591):(1590:1590) 0xc80 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1592):(1590:1590) 0x3338 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1593):(1590:1590) 0x66b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1594):(1590:1590) Which both makes more sense and doesn't confuse perf report anymore.

2009-08-13perf_counter: Fix an ipi-deadlockPeter Zijlstra
perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks. Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable() call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending disables as well. This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the pending queue gets processed.

2009-08-13perf_counter: Fix swcounter context invariancePeter Zijlstra
perf_swcounter_is_counting() uses a lock, which means we cannot use swcounters from NMI or when holding that particular lock, this is unintended. The below removes the lock, this opens up race window, but not worse than the swcounters already experience due to RCU traversal of the context in perf_swcounter_ctx_event().

2009-08-12Remove double removal of blktrace directoryAlan D. Brunelle
commit fd51d251e4cdb21f68e9dbc4336514d64a105a79 Author: Stefan Raspl <raspl@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Tue May 19 09:59:08 2009 +0200 blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt->dir, in blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code in blk_remove_buf_file_callback. With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas previously I could not get a single run to complete. The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt->dir, and so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem - the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we should not rely upon that feature.) Signed-off-by: Alan D. Brunelle <alan.brunelle@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

If so, this will result in an oops from the following call graph: futex_requeue() rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() waiter->task dereference OOPS We currently WARN_ON() if this is detected, clearly this is inadequate.

2009-08-10futex: Update futex_q lock_ptr on requeue proxy lockDarren Hart
futex_requeue() can acquire the lock on behalf of a waiter early on or during the requeue loop if it is uncontended or in the event of a lock steal or owner died. On wakeup, the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) cleans up the pi_state owner using the lock_ptr to protect against concurrent access to the pi_state. The pi_state is hung off futex_q's on the requeue target futex hash bucket so the lock_ptr needs to be updated accordingly. The problem manifested by triggering the WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state() about the pid != pi_state->owner->pid. With this patch, the pi_state is properly guarded against concurrent access via the requeue target hb lock. The astute reviewer may notice that there is a window of time between when futex_requeue() unlocks the hb locks and when futex_wait_requeue_pi() will acquire hb2->lock. During this time the pi_state and uval are not in sync with the underlying rtmutex owner (but the uval does indicate there are waiters, so no atomic changes will occur in userspace). However, this is not a problem. Should a contending thread enter lookup_pi_state() and acquire hb2->lock before the ownership is fixed up, it will find the pi_state hung off a waiter's (possibly the pending owner's) futex_q and block on the rtmutex. Once futex_wait_requeue_pi() fixes up the owner, it will also move the pi_state from the old owner's task->pi_state_list to its own. v3: Fix plist lock name for application to mainline (rather than -rt) Compile tested against tip/v2.6.31-rc5.

This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event record sampling. A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample. Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity!

2009-08-07execve: must clear current->clear_child_tidEric Dumazet
While looking at Jens Rosenboom bug report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/27/35) about strange sys_futex call done from a dying "ps" program, we found following problem. clone() syscall has special support for TID of created threads. This support includes two features. One (CLONE_CHILD_SETTID) is to set an integer into user memory with the TID value. One (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID) is to clear this same integer once the created thread dies. The integer location is a user provided pointer, provided at clone() time. kernel keeps this pointer value into current->clear_child_tid. At execve() time, we should make sure kernel doesnt keep this user provided pointer, as full user memory is replaced by a new one. As glibc fork() actually uses clone() syscall with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID and CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID set, chances are high that we might corrupt user memory in forked processes. Following sequence could happen: 1) bash (or any program) starts a new process, by a fork() call that glibc maps to a clone( ... CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID ...) syscall 2) When new process starts, its current->clear_child_tid is set to a location that has a meaning only in bash (or initial program) context (&THREAD_SELF->tid) 3) This new process does the execve() syscall to start a new program. current->clear_child_tid is left unchanged (a non NULL value) 4) If this new program creates some threads, and initial thread exits, kernel will attempt to clear the integer pointed by current->clear_child_tid from mm_release() : if (tsk->clear_child_tid && !(tsk->flags & PF_SIGNALED) && atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) > 1) { u32 __user * tidptr = tsk->clear_child_tid; tsk->clear_child_tid = NULL; /* * We don't check the error code - if userspace has * not set up a proper pointer then tough luck. */ << here >> put_user(0, tidptr); sys_futex(tidptr, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0); } 5) OR : if new program is not multi-threaded, but spied by /proc/pid users (ps command for example), mm_users > 1, and the exiting program could corrupt 4 bytes in a persistent memory area (shm or memory mapped file) If current->clear_child_tid points to a writeable portion of memory of the new program, kernel happily and silently corrupts 4 bytes of memory, with unexpected effects. Fix is straightforward and should not break any sane program.

2009-08-06ring-buffer: Fix advance of reader in rb_buffer_peek()Robert Richter
When calling rb_buffer_peek() from ring_buffer_consume() and a padding event is returned, the function rb_advance_reader() is called twice. This may lead to missing samples or under high workloads to the warning below. This patch fixes this. If a padding event is returned by rb_buffer_peek() it will be consumed by the calling function now. Also, I simplified some code in ring_buffer_consume(). ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /dev/shm/.source/linux/kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:2289 rb_advance_reader+0x2e/0xc5() Hardware name: Anaheim Modules linked in: Pid: 29, comm: events/2 Tainted: G W 2.6.31-rc3-oprofile-x86_64-standard-00059-g5050dc2 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106776f>] ? rb_advance_reader+0x2e/0xc5 [<ffffffff81039ffe>] warn_slowpath_common+0x77/0x8f [<ffffffff8103a025>] warn_slowpath_null+0xf/0x11 [<ffffffff8106776f>] rb_advance_reader+0x2e/0xc5 [<ffffffff81068bda>] ring_buffer_consume+0xa0/0xd2 [<ffffffff81326933>] op_cpu_buffer_read_entry+0x21/0x9e [<ffffffff810be3af>] ? __find_get_block+0x4b/0x165 [<ffffffff8132749b>] sync_buffer+0xa5/0x401 [<ffffffff810be3af>] ? __find_get_block+0x4b/0x165 [<ffffffff81326c1b>] ? wq_sync_buffer+0x0/0x78 [<ffffffff81326c76>] wq_sync_buffer+0x5b/0x78 [<ffffffff8104aa30>] worker_thread+0x113/0x1ac [<ffffffff8104dd95>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x38 [<ffffffff8104a91d>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x1ac [<ffffffff8104dc9a>] kthread+0x88/0x92 [<ffffffff8100bdba>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff8104dc12>] ? kthread+0x0/0x92 [<ffffffff8100bdb0>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 ---[ end trace f561c0a58fcc89bd ]--- Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

When this triggers it will cause any read from the ring buffer to permanently disable the ring buffer (not to mention no locking of printk). This patch removes the check. It keeps the print in NMI which makes sense. This is probably OK, since the ring buffer should not cause something to set oops_in_progress anyway. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The function ring_buffer_discard_commit inversed the code path of the result of try_to_discard. It should skip incrementing the entry counter if try_to_discard succeeded. But instead, it increments the entry conder if it succeeded to discard, and does not increment it if it fails. The result of this bug is that filtering will make the stat counters incorrect.

2009-08-02sched: Fix race in cpupri introduced by cpumask_var changesGregory Haskins
Background: Several race conditions in the scheduler have cropped up recently, which Steven and I have tracked down using ftrace. The most recent one turns out to be a race in how the scheduler determines a suitable migration target for RT tasks, introduced recently with commit: commit 68e74568fbe5854952355e942acca51f138096d9 Date: Tue Nov 25 02:35:13 2008 +1030 sched: convert struct cpupri_vec cpumask_var_t. The original design of cpupri allowed lockless readers to quickly determine a best-estimate target. Races between the pri_active bitmap and the vec->mask were handled in the original code because we would detect and return "0" when this occured. The design was predicated on the *effective* atomicity (*) of caching the result of cpus_and() between the cpus_allowed and the vec->mask. Commit 68e74568 changed the behavior such that vec->mask is accessed multiple times. This introduces a subtle race, the result of which means we can have a result that returns "1", but with an empty bitmap. *) yes, we know cpus_and() is not a locked operator across the entire composite array, but it is implicitly atomic on a per-word basis which is all the design required to work. Implementation: Rather than forgoing the lockless design, or reverting to a stack-based cpumask_t, we simply check for when the race has been encountered and continue processing in the event that the race is hit. This renders the removal race as if the priority bit had been atomically cleared as well, and allows the algorithm to execute correctly.
