Dima Zavin <dima@android.com> reported: "After pulling the thread off the run-queue during a cgroup change, the cfs_rq.min_vruntime gets recalculated. The dequeued thread's vruntime then gets normalized to this new value. This can then lead to the thread getting an unfair boost in the new group if the vruntime of the next task in the old run-queue was way further ahead." Reported-by:

Marc reported that e4a52bcb (sched: Remove rq->lock from the first half of ttwu()) broke his ARM-SMP machine. Now ARM is one of the few __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW users, so that exception in the ttwu() code was suspect. Yong found that the interrupt could hit after context_switch() changes current but before it clears p->on_cpu, if that interrupt were to attempt a wake-up of p we would indeed find ourselves spinning in IRQ context. Fix this by reverting to the old behaviour for this situation and perform a full remote wake-up.

Right now security_get_user_sids() will pass in a NULL avd pointer to avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which then forces that function to have a dummy entry for that case and just generally test it. Don't do it. The normal callers all pass a real avd pointer, and this helper function is incredibly hot. So don't make avc_has_perm_noaudit() do conditional stuff that isn't needed for the common case. This also avoids some duplicated stack space.

The style that we normally use in asm-generic is to test the macro itself for existence, so in asm-generic, do: #ifndef find_next_zero_bit_le extern unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr, unsigned long size, unsigned long offset); #endif and in the architectures, write static inline unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr, unsigned long size, unsigned long offset) #define find_next_zero_bit_le find_next_zero_bit_le This adds the #ifndef for each of the find bitops in the generic header and source files.

Add support for the Maxim/Dallas DS2780 Stand-Alone Fuel Gauge IC. It was suggested to combine this functionality with the current ds2782 driver. Unfortunately, I'm unable to commit the time to refactoring this driver to that extent and I don't have a platform with the ds2782 part to validate that there are no regression issues by adding this functionality.

The first patch adds generic functionnality to w1_io for Resume Command [A5h] lots of slaves support. I found it useful for multi-commands/reset workflows with the same slave on a multi-slave bus. This DS2408 w1 slave driver is not complete for all the features of the chip, but its sufficient if you use it as a simple IO expander. Enjoy! The ds1wm had Kconfig dependencies towards ARM && HAVE_CLK. I took them out since I was using the ds1wm on an x86_64 platform (ds1wm in a FPGA through pcie) and found them irrelevant. The clock freq/divisors at the top of ds1wm.c did not have the MSB set to 1. This bit is CLK_EN which turns the whole prescaler and dividers on. The driver never mentionned this bit either, so I just included this bit right in the table entries. I also took the liberty to add a couple of entries to the table. The spec doesn't explicitely mentions these possibilities but the description and examination of the core shows the prescalers & dividers can be used for more than the table explicitely shows. The table I enlarged still doesn't cover all possibilities, but it's a good start. I also made a few tweaks to a couple of the read and write algorithms which made sense while I had my head very deep in the ds1wm documentation. We stressed it a lot with 10+ slaves on the bus, many ds2408, ds2431 and ds2433 at the same time doing extensive interaction. It proved quite stable in our production environment.

Timo Warns authored
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition tables. This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death"). crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)->header_size)); computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes. There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call. A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size. In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow. Validate value of GUID partition table header size.

The balloon driver in a Xen guest frees guest pages and marks them as mmio. When the kernel crashes and the crash kernel attempts to read the oldmem via /proc/vmcore a read from ballooned pages will generate 100% load in dom0 because Xen asks qemu-dm for the page content. Since the reads come in as 8byte requests each ballooned page is tried 512 times. With this change a hook can be registered which checks wether the given pfn is really ram. The hook has to return a value > 0 for ram pages, a value < 0 on error (because the hypercall is not known) and 0 for non-ram pages. This will reduce the time to read /proc/vmcore. Without this change a 512M guest with 128M crashkernel region needs 200 seconds to read it, with this change it takes just 2 seconds. Signed-off-by:

Currently, pagemap_read() has three error and/or corner case handling mistake. (1) If ppos parameter is wrong, mm refcount will be leak. (2) If count parameter is 0, mm refcount will be leak too. (3) If the current task is sleeping in kmalloc() and the system is out of memory and oom-killer kill the proc associated task, mm_refcount prevent the task free its memory. then system may hang up. <Quote Hugh's explain why we shold call kmalloc() before get_mm()> check_mem_permission gets a reference to the mm. If we __get_free_page after check_mem_permission, imagine what happens if the system is out of memory, and the mm we're looking at is selected for killing by the OOM killer: while we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory is freed from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while we hold that reference.

Now, exe_file is not proc FS dependent, so we can use it to name core file. So we add %E pattern for core file name cration which extract path from mm_struct->exe_file. Then it converts slashes to exclamation marks and pastes the result to the core file name itself. This is useful for environments where binary names are longer than 16 character (the current->comm limitation). Also where there are binaries with same name but in a different path. Further in case the binery itself changes its current->comm after exec. So by doing (s/$/#/ -- # is treated as git comment): $ sysctl kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%E' $ ln /bin/cat cat45678901234567890 $ ./cat45678901234567890 ^Z $ rm cat45678901234567890 $ fg ^\Quit (core dumped) $ ls core* we now get: core.2434.cat456789012345.!root!cat45678901234567890 (deleted) Signed-off-by:

Setup and cleanup of mm_struct->exe_file is currently done in fs/proc/. This was because exe_file was needed only for /proc/<pid>/exe. Since we will need the exe_file functionality also for core dumps (so core name can contain full binary path), built this functionality always into the kernel. To achieve that move that out of proc FS to the kernel/ where in fact it should belong. By doing that we can make dup_mm_exe_file static. Also we can drop linux/proc_fs.h inclusion in fs/exec.c and kernel/fork.c. Signed-off-by:

This is a series of low level ptrace unification steps to make it easier for common code (like KGDB) to poke at register state. This also avoids having to duplicate higher level operations for most ports which don't have special needs for accessing things. This patch: This implements a bunch of helper funcs for poking the registers of a ptrace structure. Now common code should be able to portably update specific registers (like kgdb updating the PC).

Two new stats in per-memcg memory.stat which tracks the number of page faults and number of major page faults. "pgfault" "pgmajfault" They are different from "pgpgin"/"pgpgout" stat which count number of pages charged/discharged to the cgroup and have no meaning of reading/ writing page to disk. It is valuable to track the two stats for both measuring application's performance as well as the efficiency of the kernel page reclaim path. Counting pagefaults per process is useful, but we also need the aggregated value since processes are monitored and controlled in cgroup basis in memcg. Functional test: check the total number of pgfault/pgmajfault of all memcgs and compare with global vmstat value: $ cat /proc/vmstat | grep fault pgfault 1070751 pgmajfault 553 $ cat /dev/cgroup/memory.stat | grep fault pgfault 1071138 pgmajfault 553 total_pgfault 1071142 total_pgmajfault 553 $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep fault pgfault 199 pgmajfault 0 total_pgfault 199 total_pgmajfault 0 Performance test: run page fault test(pft) wit 16 thread on faulting in 15G anon pages in 16G container.

The new API exports numa_maps per-memcg basis. This is a piece of useful information where it exports per-memcg page distribution across real numa nodes. One of the usecases is evaluating application performance by combining this information w/ the cpu allocation to the application. The output of the memory.numastat tries to follow w/ simiar format of numa_maps like: total=<total pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ... file=<total file pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ... anon=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ... unevictable=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
