Fix it by also stopping the tracer before stopping the tracing globally. A similar situation can happen with preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracers where we apply the same fix.

Commit ee6f779b ("filp->f_pos not correctly updated in proc_task_readdir") changed the proc code to use filp->f_pos directly, rather than through a temporary variable. In the process, that caused the operations to be done on the full 64 bits, even though the offset is never that big. That's all fine and dandy per se, but for some unfathomable reason gcc generates absolutely horrid code when using 64-bit values in switch() statements. To the point of actually calling out to gcc helper functions like __cmpdi2 rather than just doing the trivial comparisons directly the way gcc does for normal compares. At which point we get link failures, because we really don't want to support that kind of crazy code. Fix this by just casting the f_pos value to "unsigned long", which is plenty big enough for /proc, and avoids the gcc code generation issue.

In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer) to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value. That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

Impact: fix for losing comms in trace The command lines of tasks are cached at sched switch to not need to record them at every trace point. Disabling the tracing on stops the recording of traces, but does not stop the caching of command lines. When the tracing is off the cache may overflow and cause the tracing to show incorrect tasks matching the PIDs. This patch disables prevents updates to the comm cache when the ring buffer is off.

Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair. But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the wrong comm because it had no locking. This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache and not just send back a pointer to it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

In the async encryption-complete function (kcryptd_async_done), the crypto_async_request passed in may be different from the one passed to crypto_ablkcipher_encrypt/decrypt. Only crypto_async_request->data is guaranteed to be same as the one passed in. The current kcryptd_async_done uses the passed-in crypto_async_request directly which may cause the AES-NI-based AES algorithm implementation to panic. This patch fixes this bug by only using crypto_async_request->data, which points to dm_crypt_request, the crypto_async_request passed in. The original data (convert_context) is gotten from dm_crypt_request.

filp->f_pos only get updated at the end of the function. Thus d_off of those dirents who are in the middle will be 0, and this will cause a problem in glibc's readdir implementation, specifically endless loop. Because when overflow occurs, f_pos will be set to next dirent to read, however it will be 0, unless the next one is the last one. So it will start over again and again. There is a sample program in man 2 gendents.

Syscall tracing must select kallsysms. The arch code builds a table to find the syscall metadata by syscall number. It needs the syscalls names resolution from the symbol table to know which name found on the syscalls metadatas match a function pointer from the arch sys_call_table.

Impact: fix syscall tracer enable/disable race The current thread flag toggling is racy as shown in the following scenario: - task A is the last user of syscall tracing, it releases the TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks - at the same time task B start syscall tracing. refcount == 0 so it sets up TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks. The effect of the mixup is unpredictable. So this fix adds a mutex on {start,stop}_syscall_tracing().

Impact: fix 'stuck' syscall tracer The syscall tracer uses a refcounter to enable several users simultaneously. But the refcounter did not behave correctly and always restored its value to 0 after calling start_syscall_tracing(). Therefore, stop_syscall_tracing() couldn't release correctly the tasks from tracing. Also the tracer forgot to reset the buffer when it is released. Drop the pointless refcount decrement on start_syscall_tracing() and reset the buffer when we release the tracer. This fixes two reported issue: - when we switch from syscall tracer to another tracer, syscall tracing continued. - incorrect use of the refcount.
