Pranith Kumar posted a patch in which removed the "volatile" qualifier for the "logbuf_cpu" variable in vprintk_emit(). https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/13/894 In his patch, he used ACCESS_ONCE() for all references to that symbol to provide whatever protection was intended. There was some discussion that followed, and in the end Steven Rostedt concluded that not only was "volatile" not needed, neither was it required to use ACCESS_ONCE(). I offered an elaborate description that concluded Steven was right, and Pranith asked me to submit an alternative patch. And this is it. The basic reason "volatile" is not needed is that "logbuf_cpu" has static storage duration, and vprintk_emit() is an exported interface. This means that the value of logbuf_cpu must be read from memory the first time it is used in a particular call of vprintk_emit(). The variable's value is read only once in that function, when it's read it'll be the copy from memory (or cache). In addition, the value of "logbuf_cpu" is only ever written under protection of a spinlock. So the value that is read is the "real" value (and not an out-of-date cached one). If its value is not UINT_MAX, it is the current CPU's processor id, and it will have been last written by the running CPU. Signed-off-by:Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> Reported-by:

Eliminate the unlikely possibility of message interleaving for early_printk/early_vprintk use. early_vprintk can be done via the %pV extension so remove this unnecessary function and change early_printk to have the equivalent vprintk code. All uses of early_printk already end with a newline so also remove the unnecessary newline from the early_printk function. Signed-off-by:

There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to the user. A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote debugging. This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the location of the warning. An example of the panic_on_warn output: The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s location. After that the panic() output is displayed.

Macro get_unused_fd() is used to allocate a file descriptor with default flags. Those default flags (0) don't enable close-on-exec. This can be seen as an unsafe default: in most case close-on-exec should be enabled to not leak file descriptor across exec(). It would be better to have a "safer" default set of flags, eg. O_CLOEXEC must be used to enable close-on-exec. Instead this patch removes get_unused_fd() so that out of tree modules won't be affect by a runtime behavor change which might introduce other kind of bugs: it's better to catch the change at build time, making it easier to fix. Removing the macro will also promote use of get_unused_fd_flags() (or anon_inode_getfd()) with flags provided by userspace. Or, if flags cannot be given by userspace, with flags set to O_CLOEXEC by default. Signed-off-by:

Now that forget_original_parent() uses ->ptrace_entry for EXIT_DEAD tasks, we can simply pass "dead_children" list to exit_ptrace() and remove another release_task() loop. Plus this way we do not need to drop and reacquire tasklist_lock. Also shift the list_empty(ptraced) check, if we want this optimization it makes sense to eliminate the function call altogether.

1. Now that reparent_leader() doesn't abuse ->sibling we can shift list_move_tail() from reparent_leader() to forget_original_parent() and turn it into a single list_splice_tail_init(). This also makes BUG_ON(!list_empty()) and list_for_each_entry_safe() unnecessary. 2. This also allows to shift the same_thread_group() check, it looks a bit more clear in the caller. Signed-off-by:

1. Cosmetic, but "if (t->parent == father)" looks a bit confusing. We need to change t->parent if and only if t is not traced. 2. If we actually want this BUG_ON() to ensure that parent/ptrace match each other, then we should also take ptrace_reparented() case into account too. 3. Change this code to use for_each_thread() instead of deprecated while_each_thread(). [dan.carpenter@oracle.com: silence a bogus static checker warning] Signed-off-by:

reparent_leader() reuses ->sibling as a list node to add an EXIT_DEAD task into dead_children list we are going to release. This obviously removes the dead task from its real_parent->children list and this is even good; the parent can do nothing with the EXIT_DEAD reparented zombie, it only makes do_wait() slower. But, this also means that it can not be reparented once again, so if its new parent dies too nobody will update ->parent/real_parent, they can point to the freed memory even before release_task() we are going to call, this breaks the code which relies on pid_alive() to access ->real_parent/parent. Fortunately this is mostly theoretical, this can only happen if init or PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER process ignores SIGCHLD and the new parent sub-thread exits right after we drop tasklist_lock. Change this code to use ->ptrace_entry instead, we know that the child is not traced so nobody can ever use this member. This also allows to unify this logic with exit_ptrace(), see the next changes. Note: we really need to change release_task() to nullify real_parent/ parent/group_leader pointers, but we need to change the current users first somehow. And it would be better to reap this zombie immediately but release_task_locked() we need is complicated by proc_flush_task(). Signed-off-by:

rcu_read_lock() can not protect p->real_parent if release_task(p) was already called, change sched_show_task() to check pis_alive() like other users do. Note: we need some helpers to cleanup the code like this. And it seems that that the usage of cpu_curr(cpu) in dump_cpu_task() is not safe too. Signed-off-by:

p->ptrace != 0 means that release_task(p) was not called, so pid_alive() buys nothing and we can remove this check. Other callers already use it directly without additional checks. Note: with or without this patch ptrace_parent() can return the pointer to the freed task, this will be explained/fixed later. Signed-off-by:

1. The usage of fdt looks very ugly, it can't be NULL if ->files is not NULL. We can use "unsigned int max_fds" instead. 2. This also allows to move seq_printf(max_fds) outside of task_lock() and join it with the previous seq_printf(). See also the next patch. Signed-off-by:

task_state() reads cred->group_info under task_lock() because a long ago it was task_struct->group_info and it was actually protected by task->alloc_lock. Today this task_unlock() after rcu_read_unlock() just adds the confusion, move task_unlock() up. Signed-off-by:

When a lot of netdevices are created, one of the bottleneck is the creation of proc entries. This serie aims to accelerate this part. The current implementation for the directories in /proc is using a single linked list. This is slow when handling directories with large numbers of entries (eg netdevice-related entries when lots of tunnels are opened). This patch replaces this linked list by a red-black tree. Here are some numbers: dummy30000.batch contains 30 000 times 'link add type dummy'. Before the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m31.950s user 0m0.440s sys 2m21.440s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m35.764s user 0m0.000s sys 1m24.088s After the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m0.874s user 0m0.448s sys 1m49.720s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m13.988s user 0m0.000s sys 1m1.008s The idea of improving this part was suggested by Thierry Herbelot.

Memory cgroups used to have 5 per-page pointers. To allow users to disable that amount of overhead during runtime, those pointers were allocated in a separate array, with a translation layer between them and struct page. There is now only one page pointer remaining: the memcg pointer, that indicates which cgroup the page is associated with when charged. The complexity of runtime allocation and the runtime translation overhead is no longer justified to save that *potential* 0.19% of memory. With CONFIG_SLUB, page->mem_cgroup actually sits in the doubleword padding after the page->private member and doesn't even increase struct page, and then this patch actually saves space. Remaining users that care can still compile their kernels without CONFIG_MEMCG. text data bss dec hex filename 8828345 1725264 983040 11536649 b00909 vmlinux.old 8827425 1725264 966656 11519345 afc571 vmlinux.new [mhocko@suse.cz: update Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt] Signed-off-by:Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

Since commit d7365e78 ("mm: memcontrol: fix missed end-writeback page accounting") mem_cgroup_end_page_stat consumes locked and flags variables directly rather than via pointers which might trigger C undefined behavior as those variables are initialized only in the slow path of mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat. Although mem_cgroup_end_page_stat handles parameters correctly and touches them only when they hold a sensible value it is caller which loads a potentially uninitialized value which then might allow compiler to do crazy things. I haven't seen any warning from gcc and it seems that the current version (4.9) doesn't exploit this type undefined behavior but Sasha has reported the following: UBSan: Undefined behaviour in mm/rmap.c:1084:2 load of value 255 is not a valid value for type '_Bool' CPU: 4 PID: 8304 Comm: rngd Not tainted 3.18.0-rc2-next-20141029-sasha-00039-g77ed13d-dirty #1427 Call Trace: dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52) ubsan_epilogue (lib/ubsan.c:159) __ubsan_handle_load_invalid_value (lib/ubsan.c:482) page_remove_rmap (mm/rmap.c:1084 mm/rmap.c:1096) unmap_page_range (./arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h:27 include/linux/mm.h:463 mm/memory.c:1146 mm/memory.c:1258 mm/memory.c:1279 mm/memory.c:1303) unmap_single_vma (mm/memory.c:1348) unmap_vmas (mm/memory.c:1377 (discriminator 3)) exit_mmap (mm/mmap.c:2837) mmput (kernel/fork.c:659) do_exit (./arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h:168 kernel/exit.c:462 kernel/exit.c:747) do_group_exit (include/linux/sched.h:775 kernel/exit.c:873) SyS_exit_group (kernel/exit.c:901) tracesys_phase2 (arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:529) Fix this by using pointer parameters for both locked and flags and be more robust for future compiler changes even though the current code is implemented correctly.

As a small zero page, huge zero page should not be accounted in smaps report as normal page. For small pages we rely on vm_normal_page() to filter out zero page, but vm_normal_page() is not designed to handle pmds. We only get here due hackish cast pmd to pte in smaps_pte_range() -- pte and pmd format is not necessary compatible on each and every architecture. Let's add separate codepath to handle pmds. follow_trans_huge_pmd() will detect huge zero page for us. We would need pmd_dirty() helper to do this properly.
