Pull timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main purpose is to fix a full dynticks bug related to
virtualization, where steal time accounting appears to be zero in
/proc/stat even after a few seconds of competing guests running busy
loops in a same host CPU. It's not a regression though as it was
there since the beginning.
The other commits are preparatory work to fix the bug and various
cleanups"

Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
"S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.
The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
cause any harm.
The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.
System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
which generates the following code (simplified):
asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
{
return sys_brk((u32)brk);
}
Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.
In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
correctly with the s390 specific macros.
I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it
did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
written asm code.
In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
"More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
(LTO). Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't

My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
upstream in binutils, but are on the way there. This patchset should
conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
necessarily in this merge window"

It its possible to configure your PAM stack to refuse login if audit
messages (about the login) were unable to be sent. This is common in
many distros and thus normal configuration of many containers. The PAM
modules determine if audit is enabled/disabled in the kernel based on
the return value from sending an audit message on the netlink socket.
If userspace gets back ECONNREFUSED it believes audit is disabled in the
kernel. If it gets any other error else it refuses to let the login
proceed.
Just about ever since the introduction of namespaces the kernel audit
subsystem has returned EPERM if the task sending a message was not in
the init user or pid namespace. So many forms of containers have never
worked if audit was enabled in the kernel.
BUT if the container was not in net_init then the kernel network code
would send ECONNREFUSED (instead of the audit code sending EPERM). Thus
by pure accident/dumb luck/bug if an admin configured the PAM stack to
reject all logins that didn't talk to audit, but then ran the login
untility in the non-init_net namespace, it would work!! Clearly this was
a bug, but it is a bug some people expected.
With the introduction of network namespace support in 3.14-rc1 the two
bugs stopped cancelling each other out. Now, containers in the
non-init_net namespace refused to let users log in (just like PAM was
configfured!) Obviously some people were not happy that what used to let
users log in, now didn't!
This fix is kinda hacky. We return ECONNREFUSED for all non-init
relevant namespaces. That means that not only will the old broken
non-init_net setups continue to work, now the broken non-init_pid or
non-init_user setups will 'work'. They don't really work, since audit
isn't logging things. But it's what most users want.
In 3.15 we should have patches to support not only the non-init_net
(3.14) namespace but also the non-init_pid and non-init_user namespace.
So all will be right in the world. This just opens the doors wide open
on 3.14 and hopefully makes users happy, if not the audit system...

This patch replaces/reworks the kernel-internal BPF interpreter with
an optimized BPF instruction set format that is modelled closer to
mimic native instruction sets and is designed to be JITed with one to
one mapping. Thus, the new interpreter is noticeably faster than the
current implementation of sk_run_filter(); mainly for two reasons:
1. Fall-through jumps:
BPF jump instructions are forced to go either 'true' or 'false'
branch which causes branch-miss penalty. The new BPF jump
instructions have only one branch and fall-through otherwise,
which fits the CPU branch predictor logic better. `perf stat`
shows drastic difference for branch-misses between the old and
new code.
2. Jump-threaded implementation of interpreter vs switch
statement:
Instead of single table-jump at the top of 'switch' statement,
gcc will now generate multiple table-jump instructions, which
helps CPU branch predictor logic.
Note that the verification of filters is still being done through
sk_chk_filter() in classical BPF format, so filters from user- or
kernel space are verified in the same way as we do now, and same
restrictions/constraints hold as well.
We reuse current BPF JIT compilers in a way that this upgrade would
even be fine as is, but nevertheless allows for a successive upgrade
of BPF JIT compilers to the new format.
The internal instruction set migration is being done after the
probing for JIT compilation, so in case JIT compilers are able to
create a native opcode image, we're going to use that, and in all
other cases we're doing a follow-up migration of the BPF program's
instruction set, so that it can be transparently run in the new
interpreter.
In short, the *internal* format extends BPF in the following way (more
details can be taken from the appended documentation):
- Number of registers increase from 2 to 10
- Register width increases from 32-bit to 64-bit
- Conditional jt/jf targets replaced with jt/fall-through
- Adds signed > and >= insns
- 16 4-byte stack slots for register spill-fill replaced
with up to 512 bytes of multi-use stack space
- Introduction of bpf_call insn and register passing convention
for zero overhead calls from/to other kernel functions
- Adds arithmetic right shift and endianness conversion insns
- Adds atomic_add insn
- Old tax/txa insns are replaced with 'mov dst,src' insn
Performance of two BPF filters generated by libpcap resp. bpf_asm
was measured on x86_64, i386 and arm32 (other libpcap programs
have similar performance differences):
fprog #1 is taken from Documentation/networking/filter.txt:
tcpdump -i eth0 port 22 -dd
fprog #2 is taken from 'man tcpdump':
tcpdump -i eth0 'tcp port 22 and (((ip[2:2] - ((ip[0]&0xf)<<2)) -
((tcp[12]&0xf0)>>2)) != 0)' -dd
Raw performance data from BPF micro-benchmark: SK_RUN_FILTER on the
same SKB (cache-hit) or 10k SKBs (cache-miss); time in ns per call,
smaller is better:
--x86_64--
fprog #1 fprog #1 fprog #2 fprog #2
cache-hit cache-miss cache-hit cache-miss
old BPF 90 101 192 202
new BPF 31 71 47 97
old BPF jit 12 34 17 44
new BPF jit TBD
--i386--
fprog #1 fprog #1 fprog #2 fprog #2
cache-hit cache-miss cache-hit cache-miss
old BPF 107 136 227 252
new BPF 40 119 69 172
--arm32--
fprog #1 fprog #1 fprog #2 fprog #2
cache-hit cache-miss cache-hit cache-miss
old BPF 202 300 475 540
new BPF 180 270 330 470
old BPF jit 26 182 37 202
new BPF jit TBD
Thus, without changing any userland BPF filters, applications on
top of AF_PACKET (or other families) such as libpcap/tcpdump, cls_bpf
classifier, netfilter's xt_bpf, team driver's load-balancing mode,
and many more will have better interpreter filtering performance.
While we are replacing the internal BPF interpreter, we also need
to convert seccomp BPF in the same step to make use of the new
internal structure since it makes use of lower-level API details
without being further decoupled through higher-level calls like
sk_unattached_filter_{create,destroy}(), for example.
Just as for normal socket filtering, also seccomp BPF experiences
a time-to-verdict speedup:
05-sim-long_jumps.c of libseccomp was used as micro-benchmark:
seccomp_rule_add_exact(ctx,...

It its possible to configure your PAM stack to refuse login if audit
messages (about the login) were unable to be sent. This is common in
many distros and thus normal configuration of many containers. The PAM
modules determine if audit is enabled/disabled in the kernel based on
the return value from sending an audit message on the netlink socket.
If userspace gets back ECONNREFUSED it believes audit is disabled in the
kernel. If it gets any other error else it refuses to let the login
proceed.
Just about ever since the introduction of namespaces the kernel audit
subsystem has returned EPERM if the task sending a message was not in
the init user or pid namespace. So many forms of containers have never
worked if audit was enabled in the kernel.
BUT if the container was not in net_init then the kernel network code
would send ECONNREFUSED (instead of the audit code sending EPERM). Thus
by pure accident/dumb luck/bug if an admin configured the PAM stack to
reject all logins that didn't talk to audit, but then ran the login
untility in the non-init_net namespace, it would work!! Clearly this was
a bug, but it is a bug some people expected.
With the introduction of network namespace support in 3.14-rc1 the two
bugs stopped cancelling each other out. Now, containers in the
non-init_net namespace refused to let users log in (just like PAM was
configfured!) Obviously some people were not happy that what used to let
users log in, now didn't!
This fix is kinda hacky. We return ECONNREFUSED for all non-init
relevant namespaces. That means that not only will the old broken
non-init_net setups continue to work, now the broken non-init_pid or
non-init_user setups will 'work'. They don't really work, since audit
isn't logging things. But it's what most users want.
In 3.15 we should have patches to support not only the non-init_net
(3.14) namespace but also the non-init_pid and non-init_user namespace.
So all will be right in the world. This just opens the doors wide open
on 3.14 and hopefully makes users happy, if not the audit system...

In commit 47a1b796306356f35 ("tick/timekeeping: Call
update_wall_time outside the jiffies lock"), we moved to calling
clock_was_set() due to the fact that we were no longer holding
the timekeeping or jiffies lock.
However, there is still the problem that clock_was_set()
triggers an IPI, which cannot be done from the timer's hard irq
context, and will generate WARN_ON warnings.
Apparently in my earlier testing, I'm guessing I didn't bump the
dmesg log level, so I somehow missed the WARN_ONs.
Thus we need to revert back to calling clock_was_set_delayed().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"While on my flight to Linux Collaboration Summit, I was working on my
slides for the event trigger tutorial. I booted a 3.14-rc7 kernel to
perform what I wanted to teach and cut and paste it into my slides.
When I tried the traceon event trigger with a condition attached to it
(turns tracing on only if a field of the trigger event matches a
condition set by the user), nothing happened. Tracing would not turn
on. I stopped working on my presentation in order to find what was
wrong.
It ended up being the way trace event triggers work when they have
conditions. Instead of copying the fields, the condition code just
looks at the fields that were copied into the ring buffer. This works
great, unless tracing is off. That's because when the event is
reserved on the ring buffer, the ring buffer returns a NULL pointer,
this tells the tracing code that the ring buffer is disabled. This
ends up being a problem for the traceon trigger if it is using this
information to check its condition.
Luckily the code that checks if tracing is on returns the ring buffer
to use (because the ring buffer is determined by the event file also
passed to that field). I was able to easily solve this bug by
checking in that helper function if the returned ring buffer entry is
NULL, and if so, also check the file flag if it has a trace event
trigger condition, and if so, to pass back a temp ring buffer to use.
This will allow the trace event trigger condition to still test the
event fields, but nothing will be recorded"

tracing: Fix traceon trigger condition to actually turn tracing on
|
|
While working on my tutorial for 2014 Linux Collaboration Summit
I found that the traceon trigger did not work when conditions were
used. The other triggers worked fine though. Looking into it, it
is because of the way the triggers use the ring buffer to store
the fields it will use for the condition. But if tracing is off, nothing
is stored in the buffer, and the tracepoint exits before calling the
trigger to test the condition. This is fine for all the triggers that
only work when tracing is on, but for traceon trigger that is to
work when tracing is off, nothing happens.
The fix is simple, just use a temp ring buffer to record the event
if tracing is off and the event has a trace event conditional trigger
enabled. The rest of the tracepoint code will work just fine, but
the tracepoint wont be recorded in the other buffers.

The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.
And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.
So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)

It is difficult to detect a stack overrun when it
actually occurs.
We have observed that this type of corruption is often
silent and can go unnoticed. Once the corrupted region
is examined, the outcome is undefined and often
results in sporadic system crashes.
When the stack tracing feature is enabled, let's check
for this condition and take appropriate action.
Note: init_task doesn't get its stack end location

Nagarnaik that fixed a bug in the same code that this commit touches. Not
only did it fix a bug, it also removed code and shrunk the size of the
overhead of trace events even more than this commit did.
Since this commit is scheduled for 3.15 and Vaibhav's patch is already in

with Vaibhav's patch. Not to mention, Vaibhav's patch makes this patch

Srikar Dronamraju reports that commit b0c29f79ecea ("futexes: Avoid
taking the hb->lock if there's nothing to wake up") causes java threads
getting stuck on futexes when runing specjbb on a power7 numa box.
The cause appears to be that the powerpc spinlocks aren't using the same
ticket lock model that we use on x86 (and other) architectures, which in
turn result in the "spin_is_locked()" test in hb_waiters_pending()
occasionally reporting an unlocked spinlock even when there are pending
waiters.
So this reinstates Davidlohr Bueso's original explicit waiter counting
code, which I had convinced Davidlohr to drop in favor of figuring out
the pending waiters by just using the existing state of the spinlock and
the wait queue.

The following pattern is currently not well supported by RCU:
1. Make data element inaccessible to RCU readers.
2. Do work that probably lasts for more than one grace period.
3. Do something to make sure RCU readers in flight before #1 above
have completed.
Here are some things that could currently be done:
a. Do a synchronize_rcu() unconditionally at either #1 or #3 above.
This works, but imposes needless work and latency.
b. Post an RCU callback at #1 above that does a wakeup, then
wait for the wakeup at #3. This works well, but likely results
in an extra unneeded grace period. Open-coding this is also
a bit more semi-tricky code than would be good.
This commit therefore adds get_state_synchronize_rcu() and
cond_synchronize_rcu() APIs. Call get_state_synchronize_rcu() at #1
above and pass its return value to cond_synchronize_rcu() at #3 above.
This results in a call to synchronize_rcu() if no grace period has
elapsed between #1 and #3, but requires only a load, comparison, and
memory barrier if a full grace period did elapse.

One in array subscript and then via the "size:" attribute. The values
reported there have a mismatch.
For e.g., in sched:sched_switch the prev_comm and next_comm character
arrays have subscript values as [32] where as the actual field size is
16.
name: sched_switch
ID: 301
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1;signed:0;

This commit removes the duplication of strings for field->name and
field->type assuming that all the strings passed in
__trace_define_field() are immutable. This is not true for arrays, where
the type string is created in event_storage variable and field->type for
all array fields points to event_storage.
Use __stringify() to create a string constant for the type string.
Also, get rid of event_storage and event_storage_mutex that are not
needed anymore.
also, an added benefit is that this reduces the overhead of events a bit more:

cgroup_tree_mutex should nest above the kernfs active_ref protection;
however, cgroup_create() and cgroup_rename() were grabbing
cgroup_tree_mutex while under kernfs active_ref protection. This has
actualy possibility to lead to deadlocks in case these operations race
against cgroup_rmdir() which invokes kernfs_remove() on directory
kernfs_node while holding cgroup_tree_mutex.
Neither cgroup_create() or cgroup_rename() requires active_ref
protection. The former already has enough synchronization through
cgroup_lock_live_group() and the latter doesn't care, so this can be
fixed by updating both functions to break all active_ref protections
before grabbing cgroup_tree_mutex.
While this patch fixes the immediate issue, it probably needs further
work in the long term - kernfs directories should enable lockdep
annotations and maybe the better way to handle this is marking
directory nodes as not needing active_ref protection rather than
breaking it in each operation.

sys_getppid() returns the parent pid of the current process in its own pid
namespace. Since audit filters are based in the init pid namespace, a process
could avoid a filter or trigger an unintended one by being in an alternate pid
namespace or log meaningless information.
Switch to task_ppid_nr() for PPIDs to anchor all audit filters in the
init_pid_ns.

"get" usually implies incrementing a refcount into a structure to indicate a
reference being held by another part of code.
Change this function name to indicate it is in fact being taken from it,
returning the value while clearing it in the supplying structure.

In perverse cases of file descriptor passing the current network
namespace of a process and the network namespace of a socket used by
that socket may differ. Therefore use the network namespace of the
appropiate socket to ensure replies always go to the appropiate
socket.

While reading through 3.14-rc1 I found a pretty siginficant mishandling
of network namespaces in the recent audit changes.
In struct audit_netlink_list and audit_reply add a reference to the
network namespace of the caller and remove the userspace pid of the
caller. This cleanly remembers the callers network namespace, and
removes a huge class of races and nasty failure modes that can occur
when attempting to relook up the callers network namespace from a pid_t
(including the caller's network namespace changing, pid wraparound, and
the pid simply not being present).

During an audit event, cache and print the value of the process's
proctitle value (proc/<pid>/cmdline). This is useful in situations
where processes are started via fork'd virtual machines where the
comm field is incorrect. Often times, setting the comm field still
is insufficient as the comm width is not very wide and most
virtual machine "package names" do not fit. Also, during execution,
many threads have their comm field set as well. By tying it back to
the global cmdline value for the process, audit records will be more
complete in systems with these properties. An example of where this
is useful and applicable is in the realm of Android. With Android,
their is no fork/exec for VM instances. The bare, preloaded Dalvik
VM listens for a fork and specialize request. When this request comes
in, the VM forks, and the loads the specific application (specializing).
This was done to take advantage of COW and to not require a load of
basic packages by the VM on very app spawn. When this spawn occurs,
the package name is set via setproctitle() and shows up in procfs.
Many of these package names are longer then 16 bytes, the historical
width of task->comm. Having the cmdline in the audit records will
couple the application back to the record directly. Also, on my
Debian development box, some audit records were more useful then
what was printed under comm.
The cached proctitle is tied to the life-cycle of the audit_context
structure and is built on demand.
Proctitle is controllable by userspace, and thus should not be trusted.
It is meant as an aid to assist in debugging. The proctitle event is
emitted during syscall audits, and can be filtered with auditctl.
Example:
type=AVC msg=audit(1391217013.924:386): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1971 comm="mkdir" name="/" dev="selinuxfs" ino=1 scontext=system_u:system_r:consolekit_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tcontext=system_u:object_r:security_t:s0 tclass=filesystem

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).
Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:
cpu_notifier_register_begin();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_notifier_register_done();
Fix the profile code by using this latter form of callback registration.

The following method of CPU hotplug callback registration is not safe
due to the possibility of an ABBA deadlock involving the cpu_add_remove_lock
and the cpu_hotplug.lock.
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
The deadlock is shown below:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
Acquire cpu_hotplug.lock
[via get_online_cpus()]
CPU online/offline operation
takes cpu_add_remove_lock
[via cpu_maps_update_begin()]
Try to acquire
cpu_add_remove_lock
[via register_cpu_notifier()]
CPU online/offline operation
tries to acquire cpu_hotplug.lock
[via cpu_hotplug_begin()]
*** DEADLOCK! ***
The problem here is that callback registration takes the locks in one order
whereas the CPU hotplug operations take the same locks in the opposite order.
To avoid this issue and to provide a race-free method to register CPU hotplug
callbacks (along with initialization of already online CPUs), introduce new
variants of the callback registration APIs that simply register the callbacks
without holding the cpu_add_remove_lock during the registration. That way,
we can avoid the ABBA scenario. However, we will need to hold the
cpu_add_remove_lock throughout the entire critical section, to protect updates
to the callback/notifier chain.
This can be achieved by writing the callback registration code as follows:
cpu_maps_update_begin(); [ or cpu_notifier_register_begin(); see below ]
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* This doesn't take the cpu_add_remove_lock */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_maps_update_done(); [ or cpu_notifier_register_done(); see below ]
Note that we can't use get_online_cpus() here instead of cpu_maps_update_begin()
because the cpu_hotplug.lock is dropped during the invocation of CPU_POST_DEAD
notifiers, and hence get_online_cpus() cannot provide the necessary
synchronization to protect the callback/notifier chains against concurrent
reads and writes. On the other hand, since the cpu_add_remove_lock protects
the entire hotplug operation (including CPU_POST_DEAD), we can use
cpu_maps_update_begin/done() to guarantee proper synchronization.
Also, since cpu_maps_update_begin/done() is like a super-set of
get/put_online_cpus(), the former naturally protects the critical sections
from concurrent hotplug operations.
Since the names cpu_maps_update_begin/done() don't make much sense in CPU
hotplug callback registration scenarios, we'll introduce new APIs named
cpu_notifier_register_begin/done() and map them to cpu_maps_update_begin/done().
In summary, introduce the lockless variants of un/register_cpu_notifier() and
also export the cpu_notifier_register_begin/done() APIs for use by modules.
This way, we provide a race-free way to register hotplug callbacks as well as
perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online.
