For the cases that some kernel (module) path stamps the crash reserved memory(already mapped by the kernel) where has been loaded the second kernel data, the kdump kernel will probably fail to boot when panic happens (or even not happens) leaving the culprit at large, this is unacceptable. The patch introduces a mechanism for detecting such cases: 1) After each crash kexec loading, it simply marks the reserved memory regions readonly since we no longer access it after that. When someone stamps the region, the first kernel will panic and trigger the kdump. The weak arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() is introduced to do the actual protection. 2) To allow multiple loading, once 1) was done we also need to remark the reserved memory to readwrite each time a system call related to kdump is made. The weak arch_kexec_unprotect_crashkres() is introduced to do the actual protection. The architecture can make its specific implementation by overriding arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() and arch_kexec_unprotect_crashkres(). Signed-off-by:

remove_arg_zero() does free_arg_page() for no reason. This was needed before and only if CONFIG_MMU=y: see commit 4fc75ff4 ("exec: fix remove_arg_zero"), install_arg_page() was called for every page != NULL in bprm->page[] array. Today install_arg_page() has already gone and free_arg_page() is nop after another commit b6a2fea3 ("mm: variable length argument support"). CONFIG_MMU=n does free_arg_pages() in free_bprm() and thus it doesn't need remove_arg_zero()->free_arg_page() too; apart from get_arg_page() it never checks if the page in bprm->page[] was allocated or not, so the "extra" non-freed page is fine. OTOH, this free_arg_page() can add the minor pessimization, the caller is going to do copy_strings_kernel() right after remove_arg_zero() which will likely need to re-allocate the same page again. And as Hujunjie pointed out, the "offset == PAGE_SIZE" check is wrong because we are going to increment bprm->p once again before return, so CONFIG_MMU=n "leaks" the page anyway if '0' is the final byte in this page. NOTE: remove_arg_zero() assumes that argv[0] is null-terminated but this is not necessarily true. copy_strings() does "len = strnlen_user(...)", then copy_from_user(len) but another thread or debuger can overwrite the trailing '0' in between. Afaics nothing really bad can happen because we must always have the null-terminated bprm->filename copied by the 1st copy_strings_kernel(), but perhaps we should change this code to check "bprm->p < bprm->exec" anyway, and/or change copy_strings() to ensure that the last byte in string is always zero.

Linux preallocates the task structs of the idle tasks for all possible CPUs. This currently means they all end up on node 0. This also implies that the cache line of MWAIT, which is around the flags field in the task struct, are all located in node 0. We see a noticeable performance improvement on Knights Landing CPUs when the cache lines used for MWAIT are located in the local nodes of the CPUs using them. I would expect this to give a (likely slight) improvement on other systems too. The patch implements placing the idle task in the node of its CPUs, by passing the right target node to copy_process() [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use NUMA_NO_NODE, not a bare -1] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463492694-15833-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.orgSigned-off-by:

Currently the size of "struct signal_struct"->oom_flags member is sizeof(unsigned) bytes, but only one flag OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN which is updated by current thread is defined. We can convert OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN into a bool, and reuse the saved bytes for updating from the OOM killer and/or the OOM reaper thread. By the way, do we care about a race window between run_store() and swapoff() because it would be theoretically possible that two threads sharing the "struct signal_struct" concurrently call respective functions? If we care, we can make oom_flags an atomic_t. Signed-off-by:

I see no reason why waitid() can't support other linux-specific flags allowed in sys_wait4(). In particular this change can help if we reconsider the previous change ("wait/ptrace: assume __WALL if the child is traced") which adds the "automagical" __WALL for debugger. Signed-off-by: -
Oleg Nesterov authored
The following program (simplified version of generated by syzkaller) #include <pthread.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h> void *thread_func(void *arg) { ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0); return 0; } int main(void) { pthread_t thread; if (fork()) return 0; while (getppid() != 1) ; pthread_create(&thread, NULL, thread_func, NULL); pthread_join(thread, NULL); return 0; } creates an unreapable zombie if /sbin/init doesn't use __WALL. This is not a kernel bug, at least in a sense that everything works as expected: debugger should reap a traced sub-thread before it can reap the leader, but without __WALL/__WCLONE do_wait() ignores sub-threads. Unfortunately, it seems that /sbin/init in most (all?) distributions doesn't use it and we have to change the kernel to avoid the problem. Note also that most init's use sys_waitid() which doesn't allow __WALL, so the necessary user-space fix is not that trivial. This patch just adds the "ptrace" check into eligible_child(). To some degree this matches the "tsk->ptrace" in exit_notify(), ->exit_signal is mostly ignored when the tracee reports to debugger. Or WSTOPPED, the tracer doesn't need to set this flag to wait for the stopped tracee. This obviously means the user-visible change: __WCLONE and __WALL no longer have any meaning for debugger. And I can only hope that this won't break something, but at least strace/gdb won't suffer. We could make a more conservative change. Say, we can take __WCLONE into account, or !thread_group_leader(). But it would be nice to not complicate these historical/confusing checks.

It was actually suppose to go into the 4.6 merge window, but I never committed it. I almost forgot about it again, but noticed it was missing from your tree. - Soumya PN sent me a clean up patch to not disable interrupts when taking the tasklist_lock for read, as it's unnecessary because that lock is never taken for write in irq context. - Newer gcc's can cause the jump in the function_graph code to the global ftrace_stub label to be a short jump instead of a long one. As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that call). One way to prevent gcc from using a short jump is to declare the ftrace_stub as a weak function, which we do here to keep gcc from optimizing too much" * tag 'trace-v4.7-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/x86: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it ftrace: Don't disable irqs when taking the tasklist_lock read_lock ftracetest: Add instance created, delete, read and enable event test
