2013-04-30KEYS: split call to call_usermodehelper_fns()Lucas De Marchi1-3/+10
Use call_usermodehelper_setup() + call_usermodehelper_exec() instead of calling call_usermodehelper_fns(). In case there's an OOM in this last function the cleanup function may not be called - in this case we would miss a call to key_put().

2013-04-30ptrace: add ability to retrieve signals without removing from a queue (v4)Andrey Vagin2-0/+92
This patch adds a new ptrace request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO. This request is used to retrieve information about pending signals starting with the specified sequence number. Siginfo_t structures are copied from the child into the buffer starting at "data". The argument "addr" is a pointer to struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args. struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args { u64 off; /* from which siginfo to start */ u32 flags; s32 nr; /* how may siginfos to take */ }; "nr" has type "s32", because ptrace() returns "long", which has 32 bits on i386 and a negative values is used for errors. Currently here is only one flag PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO_SHARED for dumping signals from process-wide queue. If this flag is not set, signals are read from a per-thread queue. The request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO returns a number of dumped signals. If a signal with the specified sequence number doesn't exist, ptrace returns zero. The request returns an error, if no signal has been dumped. Errors: EINVAL - one or more specified flags are not supported or nr is negative EFAULT - buf or addr is outside your accessible address space. A result siginfo contains a kernel part of si_code which usually striped, but it's required for queuing the same siginfo back during restore of pending signals. This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals. Pedro Alves suggested using it in "gdb" to peek at pending signals. gdb already uses PTRACE_GETSIGINFO to get the siginfo for the signal which was already dequeued. This functionality allows gdb to look at the pending signals which were not reported yet. The prototype of this code was developed by Oleg Nesterov.

2013-04-30nilfs2: fix issue with flush kernel thread after remount in RO mode because ↵Vyacheslav Dubeyko4-23/+86
of driver's internal error or metadata corruption The NILFS2 driver remounts itself in RO mode in the case of discovering metadata corruption (for example, discovering a broken bmap). But usually, this takes place when there have been file system operations before remounting in RO mode. Thereby, NILFS2 driver can be in RO mode with presence of dirty pages in modified inodes' address spaces. It results in flush kernel thread's infinite trying to flush dirty pages in RO mode. As a result, it is possible to see such side effects as: (1) flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time; (2) system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off. SYMPTOMS: (1) System log contains error message: "Remounting filesystem read-only". (2) The flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time. (3) The system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off. REPRODUCTION PATH: (1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility. (2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>): ----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]-------------------- #!/bin/bash VG=unencrypted #apt-get install nilfs-tools darcs lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest mkdir /var/tmp/n mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir sleep 2 date darcs init sleep 2 dmesg|tail -n 5 date darcs whatsnew || true date sleep 2 dmesg|tail -n 5 ----------------[END SCRIPT]-------------------- (3) Try to shutdown the system. REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% FIX: This patch implements checking mount state of NILFS2 driver in nilfs_writepage(), nilfs_writepages() and nilfs_mdt_write_page() methods. If it is detected the RO mount state then all dirty pages are simply discarded with warning messages is written in system log.

We need to check at 16-byte intervals but keep a 32-byte buffer for an SMBIOS entry, so shift the buffer after each iteration.

2013-04-30epoll: trim epitem by one cache lineEric Wong1-1/+9
It is common for epoll users to have thousands of epitems, so saving a cache line on every allocation leads to large memory savings. Since epitem allocations are cache-aligned, reducing sizeof(struct epitem) from 136 bytes to 128 bytes will allow it to squeeze under a cache line boundary on x86_64. Via /sys/kernel/slab/eventpoll_epi, I see the following changes on my x86_64 Core2 Duo (which has 64-byte cache alignment): object_size : 192 => 128 objs_per_slab: 21 => 32 Also, add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to check for future accidental breakage.

2013-04-30writeback: set worker desc to identify writeback workers in task dumpsTejun Heo1-0/+1
Writeback has been recently converted to use workqueue instead of its private thread pool implementation. One negative side effect of this conversion is that there's no easy to tell which backing device a writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, be it sysrq-t, BUG, WARN or whatever, which, according to our writeback brethren, is important in tracking down issues with a lot of mounted file systems on a lot of different devices. This patch restores that information using the new worker description facility. bdi_writeback_workfn() calls set_work_desc() to identify which bdi it's working on. The description is printed out together with the worqueue name and worker function as in the following example dump.

2013-04-30workqueue: include workqueue info when printing debug dump of a worker taskTejun Heo5-1/+98
One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion and so on - the description will be printed out together with the workqueue name and the worker function pointer. The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible. It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another) oops. The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new fields is moved to the correct position. Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as worker desc.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. For example, after writeback is converted to use workqueue instead of priviate thread pool, there's no easy to tell which backing device a writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, which, according to our writeback brethren, is important in tracking down issues with a lot of mounted file systems on a lot of different devices.

2013-04-30dump_stack: unify debug information printed by show_regs()Tejun Heo39-84/+74
show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same information and it's much easier to modify what's printed. show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack() does plus task and thread_info pointers. * Archs which didn't print debug info now do. alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc, um, xtensa * Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info(). The printed information is superset of what used to be there. arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86 * s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation. Converted to use the generic version. Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register dumps.

2013-04-30dump_stack: implement arch-specific hardware description in task dumpsTejun Heo7-6/+48
x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't consistent. * x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print them out with PID, comm and utsname. Some of the information is printed again later in the same dump. * warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints it out with "Hardware name:" label. This applies to both x86 and ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs. * ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps. This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by dump_stack(). It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc() during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with "Hardware name:" label. dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific description from DMI data. It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from dmi_present() used for DMI debug message. It is superset of the information x86 show_regs() is using. The function is called from x86 and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine(). This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common() unnecessary. Removed. show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in x86 show_regs(). The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and remove the duplication. An example WARN dump follows.

2013-04-30dump_stack: consolidate dump_stack() implementations and unify their behaviorsTejun Heo33-262/+32
Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the backtrace while the two are identical on other archs. The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong, so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which triggered dump_stack(). There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information. This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand. Debug information can be printed separately by calling dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack() implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used in blackfin. This patch brings the following behavior changes. * On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be printed. This is because the top frame was determined in dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not sure whether that'd be necessary. * Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do now. An example WARN dump follows.

Because linkage is per objecct file, dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack() - at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info() as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1 The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue.

Most of what gets printed is upto each architecture and the current state is not particularly pretty. Different pieces of information are presented differently depending on which path the dump takes and which architecture it's running on. This is messy for no good reason and makes it exceedingly difficult to add or modify debug information to task dumps. In all archs except for s390, there's nothing arch-specific about the printed debug information. This patchset updates all those archs to use the same helpers to consistently print out the same debug information. An example WARN dump after this patchset.

This patchset contains the following seven patches. 0001-x86-don-t-show-trace-beyond-show_stack-NULL-NULL.patch 0002-sparc32-make-show_stack-acquire-fp-if-_ksp-is-not-sp.patch 0003-dump_stack-consolidate-dump_stack-implementations-an.patch 0004-dmi-morph-dmi_dump_ids-into-dmi_format_ids-which-for.patch 0005-dump_stack-implement-arch-specific-hardware-descript.patch 0006-dump_stack-unify-debug-information-printed-by-show_r.patch 0007-arc-print-fatal-signals-reduce-duplicated-informatio.patch 0001-0002 update stack dumping functions in x86 and sparc32 in preparation. 0003 makes all arches except blackfin use generic dump_stack(). blackfin still uses the generic helper to print the same info. 0004-0005 properly abstract DMI identifier printing in WARN() and show_regs() so that all dumps print out the information. This enables show_regs() to use the same debug info message. 0006 updates show_regs() of all arches to use a common generic helper to print debug info. 0007 removes somem duplicate information from arc dumps. While this patchset changes how debug info is printed on some archs, the printed information is always superset of what used to be there. This patchset makes task dump debug messages consistent and enables adding more information. Workqueue is scheduled to add worker information including the workqueue in use and work item specific description. While this patch touches a lot of archs, it isn't too likely to cause non-trivial conflicts with arch-specfic changes and would probably be best to route together either through -mm. x86 is tested but other archs are either only compile tested or not tested at all. Changes to most archs are generally trivial. This patch: show_stack(current or NULL, NULL) is used to print the backtrace of the current task. As trace beyond the function itself isn't of much interest to anyone, don't show it by determining sp and bp in show_stack()'s frame and passing them to show_stack_log_lvl(). This brings show_stack(NULL, NULL)'s behavior in line with dump_stack(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Cc: David S.

Allow zcache to be built/loaded as a module. Note runtime dependency disallows loading if cleancache/frontswap lazy initialization patches are not present. Zsmalloc support has not yet been merged into zcache but, once merged, could now easily be selected via a module_param. If built-in (not built as a module), the original mechanism of enabling via a kernel boot parameter is retained, but this should be considered deprecated.
