When studying lguest's x86 segment descriptor code, it is not longer necessary to have the Intel x86 architecture manual open on the page with the segment descriptor illustration to understand the crazy numbers assigned to both descriptor structure halves a/b. Now the struct desc_struct's fields, like suggested by Glauber de Oliveira Costa in 2008, are used.

Handling balloon hibernate / restore is tricky. If the balloon was inflated before going into the hibernation state, upon resume, the host will not have any memory of that. Any pages that were passed on to the host earlier would most likely be invalid, and the host will have to re-balloon to the previous value to get in the pre-hibernate state. So the only sane thing for the guest to do here is to discard all the pages that were put in the balloon. When to discard the pages is the next question. One solution is to deflate the balloon just before writing the image to the disk (in the freeze() PM callback). However, asking for pages from the host just to discard them immediately after seems wasteful of resources. Hence, it makes sense to do this by just fudging our counters soon after wakeup. This means we don't deflate the balloon before sleep, and also don't put unnecessary pressure on the host. This also helps in the thaw case: if the freeze fails for whatever reason, the balloon should continue to remain in the inflated state. This was tested by issuing 'swapoff -a' and trying to go into the S4 state. That fails, and the balloon stays inflated, as expected. Both the host and the guest are happy. Finally, in the restore() callback, we empty the list of pages that were previously given off to the host, add the appropriate number of pages to the totalram_pages counter, reset the num_pages counter to 0, and all is fine. As a last step, delete the vqs on the freeze callback to prepare for hibernation, and re-create them in the restore and thaw callbacks to resume normal operation. The kthread doesn't race with any operations here, since it's frozen before the freeze() call and is thawed after the thaw() and restore() callbacks, so we're safe with that.

Remove all vqs and associated buffers in the freeze callback which prepares us to go into hibernation state. On restore, re-create all the vqs and populate the input vqs with buffers to get to the pre-hibernate state. Note: Any outstanding unconsumed buffers are discarded; which means there's a possibility of data loss in case the host or the guest didn't consume any data already present in the vqs. This can be addressed in a later patch series, perhaps in virtio common code. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Handle thaw, restore and freeze notifications from the PM core. Expose these to individual virtio drivers that can quiesce and resume vq operations. For drivers not implementing the thaw() method, use the restore method instead. These functions also save device-specific data so that the device can be put in pre-suspend state after resume, and disable and enable the PCI device in the freeze and resume functions, respectively.

Fix a theoretical race related to config work handler: a config interrupt might happen after we flush config work but before we reset the device. It will then cause the config work to run during or after reset. Two problems with this: - if this runs after device is gone we will get use after free - access of config while reset is in progress is racy (as layout is changing). As a solution 1. flush after reset when we know there will be no more interrupts 2. add a flag to disable config access before reset Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Under the existing #ifdef DEBUG, check that they don't have more than 1/10 of a second between an add_buf() and a virtqueue_notify()/virtqueue_kick_prepare() call. We could get false positives on a really busy system, but good for development. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Rusty Russell authored
A virtio driver does virtqueue_add_buf() multiple times before finally calling virtqueue_kick(); previously we only exposed the added buffers in the virtqueue_kick() call. This means we don't need a memory barrier in virtqueue_add_buf(), but it reduces concurrency as the device (ie. host) can't see the buffers until the kick. In the unusual (but now possible) case where a driver does add_buf() and get_buf() without doing a kick, we do need to insert one before our counter wraps. Otherwise we could wrap num_added, and later on not realize that we have passed the marker where we should have kicked. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU). Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to 14%. By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

lib: use generic pci_iomap on all architectures Many architectures don't want to pull in iomap.c, so they ended up duplicating pci_iomap from that file. That function isn't trivial, and we are going to modify it https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/14/183 so the duplication hurts. This reduces the scope of the problem significantly, by moving pci_iomap to a separate file and referencing that from all architectures. * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost: alpha: drop pci_iomap/pci_iounmap from pci-noop.c mn10300: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP mn10300: add missing __iomap markers frv: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP tile: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP tile: don't panic on iomap sparc: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP sh: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP powerpc: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP parisc: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP mips: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP microblaze: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP arm: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP alpha: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP lib: add GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP lib: move GENERIC_IOMAP to lib/Kconfig Fix up trivial conflicts due to changes nearby in arch/{m68k,score}/Kconfig

ipc/mqueue.c: for __SI_MESQ, convert the uid being sent to recipient's user namespace. (new, thanks Oleg) __send_signal: convert current's uid to the recipient's user namespace for any siginfo which is not SI_FROMKERNEL (patch from Oleg, thanks again :) do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's user namespace ptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before including in signal to current. IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting the value currently being set is misleading. Changelog: Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating (which uid into which namespace). Passing the target task would make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns). Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock in ptrace_signal(). Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an ancestor or unrelated user namespace. Pass that on to __send_signal, which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed. Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch. On top of that, handle all SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is current in those cases.

alloc_workqueue() currently expects the passed in @name pointer to remain accessible. This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that the whole wq is being dynamically allocated. This patch updates alloc_workqueue() and friends to take printf format string instead of opaque string and matching varargs at the end. The name is allocated together with the wq and formatted. alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to alloc_workqueue(). None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as constant name and this change shouldn't cause any problem.

Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/ directories. The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left untouched. The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much info about processes we want to be available for non-owners: hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all world-readable /proc/PID/* files. hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but their own. Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected against other users. As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission() and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific files' modes are not confused. hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other users. It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be learned by other means, e.g. by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid and egid. It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any program at all, etc. gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info (as in hidepid=0 mode). This group should be used instead of putting nonroot user in sudoers file or something. However, untrusted users (like daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole system should not be added to the group. hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes timings: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/11/05/3 hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools. ps, top, pgrep, and conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is the only user running processes. pstree shows the process subtree which contains "pstree" process. Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping preopened descriptors of procfs files (like https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368). We rely on that the leaked information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the counters.

This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is "vma->vm_start-vma->vm_end", the target is the file. Opening a symlink results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one. For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/ | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80403000-7f8f80404000 -> /lib64/libc-2.5.so | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f8061e000-7f8f80620000 -> /lib64/libselinux.so.1 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80826000-7f8f80827000 -> /lib64/libacl.so.1.1.0 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a2f000-7f8f80a30000 -> /lib64/librt-2.5.so | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a30000-7f8f80a4c000 -> /lib64/ld-2.5.so This *helps* checkpointing process in three ways: 1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped by particular region. We do this by opening /proc/$pid/map_files/$address symlink the way we do with file descriptors. 2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them. 3. When restoring a set of processes in case two of them has a mapping shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its /proc/$pid/map_files/$address file and map it by the 2nd task. Using /proc/$pid/maps for this is quite inconvenient since it brings repeatable re-reading and reparsing for this text file which slows down restore procedure significantly. Also as being pointed in (3) it is a way easier to use top level shared mapping in children as /proc/$pid/map_files/$address when needed.

Nothing requires that we lock the filesystem until the root inode is provided. Also iget5_locked() triggers a warning because we are holding the filesystem lock while allocating the inode, which result in a lockdep suspicion that we have a lock inversion against the reclaim path: [ 1986.896979] ================================= [ 1986.896990] [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] [ 1986.896997] 3.1.1-main #8 [ 1986.897001] --------------------------------- [ 1986.897007] inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.

Still the warning is annoying. To solve this, acquire the lock later only where we need it, right before calling reiserfs_read_locked_inode() that wants to lock to walk the tree.

journal_init() doesn't need the lock since no operation on the filesystem is involved there. journal_read() and get_list_bitmap() have yet to be reviewed carefully though before removing the lock there. Just keep the it around these two calls for safety.
