argv_split(empty_or_all_spaces) happily succeeds, it simply returns argc == 0 and argv[0] == NULL. Change call_usermodehelper_exec() to check sub_info->path != NULL to avoid the crash. This is the minimal fix, todo: - perhaps we should change argv_split() to return NULL or change the callers. - kill or justify ->path[0] check - narrow the scope of helper_lock() Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-By: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger: "A handful of fixes + minor changes this time around, along with one important >= v3.9 regression fix for IBLOCK backends. The highlights include: - Use FD_MAX_SECTORS in FILEIO for block_device as well as files (agrover) - Fix processing of out-of-order CmdSNs with iSBD driver (shlomo) - Close long-standing target_put_sess_cmd() vs. core_tmr_abort_task() race with the addition of kref_put_spinlock_irqsave() (joern + greg-kh) - Fix IBLOCK WCE=1 + DPOFUA=1 backend WRITE regression in >= v3.9 (nab + bootc) Note these four patches are CC'ed to stable. Also, there is still some work left to be done on the active I/O shutdown path in target_wait_for_sess_cmds() used by tcm_qla2xxx + ib_isert fabrics that is still being discussed on the list, and will hopefully be resolved soon." * 'queue' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: target: close target_put_sess_cmd() vs. core_tmr_abort_task() race target: removed unused transport_state flag target/iblock: Fix WCE=1 + DPOFUA=1 backend WRITE regression MAINTAINERS: Update target git tree URL iscsi-target: Fix typos in RDMAEXTENSIONS macro usage target/rd: Add ramdisk bit for NULLIO operation iscsi-target: Fix processing of OOO commands iscsi-target: Make buf param of iscsit_do_crypto_hash_buf() const void * iscsi-target: Fix NULL pointer dereference in iscsit_send_reject target: Have dev/enable show if TCM device is configured target: Use FD_MAX_SECTORS/FD_BLOCKSIZE for blockdevs using fileio target: Remove unused struct members in se_dev_entry

When rcu_init() is called we already have slab working, allocating bootmem at that point results in warnings and an allocation from slab. This commit therefore changes alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var() to alloc_cpumask_var() in rcu_bootup_announce_oddness(), which is called from rcu_init().

It is possible for one thread to to take se_sess->sess_cmd_lock in core_tmr_abort_task() before taking a reference count on se_cmd->cmd_kref, while another thread in target_put_sess_cmd() drops se_cmd->cmd_kref before taking se_sess->sess_cmd_lock. This introduces kref_put_spinlock_irqsave() and uses it in target_put_sess_cmd() to close the race window.

This patch fixes a regression bug introduced in v3.9-rc1 where if the underlying struct block_device for a IBLOCK backend is configured with WCE=1 + DPOFUA=1 settings, the rw = WRITE assignment no longer occurs in iblock_execute_rw(), and rw = 0 is passed to iblock_submit_bios() in effect causing a READ bio operation to occur.

John Stultz authored
Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config, which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause problems for userland. In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on !ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the /dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for older applications. While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile, breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so lets revert this change.

Commit c0f4dfd4 (rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks) introduced a bug that can result in excessively long grace periods. This bug reverse the senes of the "if" statement checking for lazy callbacks, so that RCU takes a lazy approach when there are in fact non-lazy callbacks. This can result in excessive boot, suspend, and resume times. This commit therefore fixes the sense of this "if" statement.

An inactive timer's base can refer to a offline cpu's base. In the current code, cpu_base's lock is blindly reinitialized each time a CPU is brought up. If a CPU is brought online during the period that another thread is trying to modify an inactive timer on that CPU with holding its timer base lock, then the lock will be reinitialized under its feet. This leads to following SPIN_BUG(). <0> BUG: spinlock already unlocked on CPU#3, kworker/u:3/1466 <0> lock: 0xe3ebe000, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: kworker/u:3/1466, .owner_cpu: 1 <4> [<c0013dc4>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0x11c) from [<c026e794>] (do_raw_spin_unlock+0x40/0xcc) <4> [<c026e794>] (do_raw_spin_unlock+0x40/0xcc) from [<c076c160>] (_raw_spin_unlock+0x8/0x30) <4> [<c076c160>] (_raw_spin_unlock+0x8/0x30) from [<c009b858>] (mod_timer+0x294/0x310) <4> [<c009b858>] (mod_timer+0x294/0x310) from [<c00a5e04>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x104/0x120) <4> [<c00a5e04>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x104/0x120) from [<c04eae00>] (sdhci_msm_bus_voting+0x88/0x9c) <4> [<c04eae00>] (sdhci_msm_bus_voting+0x88/0x9c) from [<c04d8780>] (sdhci_disable+0x40/0x48) <4> [<c04d8780>] (sdhci_disable+0x40/0x48) from [<c04bf300>] (mmc_release_host+0x4c/0xb0) <4> [<c04bf300>] (mmc_release_host+0x4c/0xb0) from [<c04c7aac>] (mmc_sd_detect+0x90/0xfc) <4> [<c04c7aac>] (mmc_sd_detect+0x90/0xfc) from [<c04c2504>] (mmc_rescan+0x7c/0x2c4) <4> [<c04c2504>] (mmc_rescan+0x7c/0x2c4) from [<c00a6a7c>] (process_one_work+0x27c/0x484) <4> [<c00a6a7c>] (process_one_work+0x27c/0x484) from [<c00a6e94>] (worker_thread+0x210/0x3b0) <4> [<c00a6e94>] (worker_thread+0x210/0x3b0) from [<c00aad9c>] (kthread+0x80/0x8c) <4> [<c00aad9c>] (kthread+0x80/0x8c) from [<c000ea80>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8) As an example, this particular crash occurred when CPU #3 is executing mod_timer() on an inactive timer whose base is refered to offlined CPU #2. The code locked the timer_base corresponding to CPU #2. Before it could proceed, CPU #2 came online and reinitialized the spinlock corresponding to its base. Thus now CPU #3 held a lock which was reinitialized. When CPU #3 finally ended up unlocking the old cpu_base corresponding to CPU #2, we hit the above SPIN_BUG().

In the current code, spinlock_initialization of base->lock isn't under this check. When a CPU is up each time the base lock is reinitialized. Move base spinlock initialization under the check.

And Bjørn's painstaking debugging indicated that this happens when the idle loop enters the poll mode. Looking at the poll function cpu_idle_poll(), and the implementation of trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle(), the problem becomes very clear: cpu_idle_poll() lacks calls to rcu_idle_enter/exit(), and trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() calls them in the reverse order - first rcu_idle_exit(), and then rcu_idle_enter(). Hence the even/odd alternative sequencing of rdtp->dynticks goes for a toss. And powertop readily triggers this because powertop uses the idle-tracing infrastructure extensively. So, to fix this, wrap the code in cpu_idle_poll() within rcu_idle_enter/exit(), so that it blends properly with the calls inside trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() and thus get the function ordering right.

That's causing subsequent failures as an offline CPU is supposed to die and not to fiddle with nohz magic. Return false in can_stop_idle_tick() if the cpu is offline.

Currently we only set the "to" address in the branch stack when the CPU explicitly gives us a value. Unfortunately it only does this for XL form branches (eg blr, bctr, bctar) and not I and B form branches (eg b, bc). Fortunately if we read the instruction from memory we can extract the offset of a branch and calculate the target address. This adds a function power_pmu_bhrb_to() to calculate the target/to address of the corresponding I and B form branches. It handles branches in both user and kernel spaces. It also plumbs this into the perf brhb reading code. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The current Branch History Rolling Buffer (BHRB) code misinterprets the order of entries in the hardware buffer. It assumes that a branch target address will be read _after_ its corresponding branch. In reality the branch target comes before (lower mfbhrb entry) it's corresponding branch. This is a rewrite of the code to take this into account.

This is the exception hooks for context tracking subsystem, including data access, program check, single step, instruction breakpoint, machine check, alignment, fp unavailable, altivec assist, unknown exception, whose handlers might use RCU. This patch corresponds to [PATCH] x86: Exception hooks for userspace RCU extended QS commit 6ba3c97a But after the exception handling moved to generic code, and some changes in following two commits: 56dd9470 context_tracking: Move exception handling to generic code 6c1e0256 context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception exit it is able for exception hooks to use the generic code above instead of a redundant arch implementation.

This is the syscall slow path hooks for context tracking subsystem, corresponding to [PATCH] x86: Syscall hooks for userspace RCU extended QS commit bf5a3c13 TIF_MEMDIE is moved to the second 16-bits (with value 17), as it seems there is no asm code using it. TIF_NOHZ is added to _TIF_SYCALL_T_OR_A, so it is better for it to be in the same 16 bits with others in the group, so in the asm code, andi. with this group could work.

MSR_DE is not cleared on entry to the kernel, and we don't clear it explicitly outside of debug code. If we have MSR_DE set in prime_debug_regs(), and the new thread has events enabled in DBCR0 (e.g. ICMP is set in thread->dbsr0, even though it was cleared in the real DBCR0 when the thread got scheduled out), we'll end up taking a debug exception in the kernel when DBCR0 is loaded. DSRR0 will not point to an exception vector, and the kernel ends up hanging at kernel_dbg_exc. Fix this by always clearing MSR_DE when we load new debug state. Another observed source of kernel_dbg_exc hangs is with the branch taken event. If this event is active, but we take a non-debug trap (e.g. a TLB miss or an asynchronous interrupt) before the next branch. We end up taking a branch-taken debug exception on the initial branch instruction of the exception vector, but because the debug exception is DBSR_BT rather than DBSR_IC we branch to kernel_dbg_exc before even checking the DSRR0 address. Fix this by checking for DBSR_BT as well as DBSR_IC, which is what 32-bit does and what the comments suggest was intended in the 64-bit code as well.
