Graft AIX partitions enumeration into partitions/msdos.c There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c. When an AIX disk has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer. This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code duplication, and ensures that AIX partitions enumeration is called before plain msdos partitions enumeration. Signed-off-by:

Add partitions/aix.h and partitions/aix.c. AIX LVM permits to make "logical volumes" which are made of multiple slices of multiple disks. The new code allows only access to the "logical volumes" which are made of one slice on the probed disk, a slice being a contiguous disk area. The code also detects "logical volumes" made of multiple slices on the probed disk, but can not describe them to the partition layer, because the partition layer generic code does not support that. When such non-contiguous "logical volumes" are detected, a diagnostic message is printed. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

Smatch complains that on 64 bit systems, there is a hole in the MW_ABILITIES struct between ->component_count and ->component_list[]. It leaks stack information from the mwave_ioctl() function. I've added a memset() to initialize the struct to zero. Signed-off-by:

Cleanup: Some minor points that I noticed while writing the previous patches 1) The name try_atomic_semop() is misleading: The function performs the operation (if it is possible). 2) Some documentation updates. No real code change, a rename and documentation changes. Signed-off-by:

sem_otime contains the time of the last semaphore operation that completed successfully. Every operation updates this value, thus access from multiple cpus can cause thrashing. Therefore the patch replaces the variable with a per-semaphore variable. The per-array sem_otime is only calculated when required. No performance improvement on a single-socket i3 - only important for larger systems. Signed-off-by:

There are two places that can contain alter operations: - the global queue: sma->pending_alter - the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter. Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over simple ops. The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting operation has the highest priority. This is done by using only one queue: - if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used. - otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used. As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more goto logic. Signed-off-by:

Introduce separate queues for operations that do not modify the semaphore values. Advantages: - Simpler logic in check_restart(). - Faster update_queue(): Right now, all wait-for-zero operations are always tested, even if the semaphore value is not 0. - wait-for-zero gets again priority, as in linux <=3.0.9 Signed-off-by:

As now each semaphore has its own spinlock and parallel operations are possible, give each semaphore its own cacheline. On a i3 laptop, this gives up to 28% better performance: #semscale 10 | grep "interleave 2" - before: Cpus 1, interleave 2 delay 0: 36109234 in 10 secs Cpus 2, interleave 2 delay 0: 55276317 in 10 secs Cpus 3, interleave 2 delay 0: 62411025 in 10 secs Cpus 4, interleave 2 delay 0: 81963928 in 10 secs -after: Cpus 1, interleave 2 delay 0: 35527306 in 10 secs Cpus 2, interleave 2 delay 0: 70922909 in 10 secs <<< + 28% Cpus 3, interleave 2 delay 0: 80518538 in 10 secs Cpus 4, interleave 2 delay 0: 89115148 in 10 secs <<< + 8.7% i3, with 2 cores and with hyperthreading enabled. Interleave 2 in order use first the full cores. HT partially hides the delay from cacheline trashing, thus the improvement is "only" 8.7% if 4 threads are running. Signed-off-by:

Enforce that ipc_rcu_alloc returns a cacheline aligned pointer on SMP. Rationale: The SysV sem code tries to move the main spinlock into a seperate cacheline (____cacheline_aligned_in_smp). This works only if ipc_rcu_alloc returns cacheline aligned pointers. vmalloc and kmalloc return cacheline algined pointers, the implementation of ipc_rcu_alloc breaks that.

While the INFO cmd doesn't take the ipc lock, the STAT commands do acquire it unnecessarily. We can do the permissions and security checks only holding the rcu lock. This function now mimics semctl_nolock(). Signed-off-by:

Add msq_obtain_object() and msq_obtain_object_check(), which will allow us to get the ipc object without acquiring the lock. Just as with semaphores, these functions are basically wrappers around ipc_obtain_object*(). Signed-off-by:

Similar to semctl, when calling msgctl, the *_INFO and *_STAT commands can be performed without acquiring the ipc object. Add a msgctl_nolock() function and move the logic of *_INFO and *_STAT out of msgctl(). This change still takes the lock and it will be properly lockless in the next patch Signed-off-by:

This function currently acquires both the rw_mutex and the rcu lock on successful lookups, leaving the callers to explicitly unlock them, creating another two level locking situation. Make the callers (including those that still use ipcctl_pre_down()) explicitly lock and unlock the rwsem and rcu lock. Signed-off-by:

Davidlohr Bueso authored
This patchset continues the work that began in the sysv ipc semaphore scaling series, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546 Just like semaphores used to be, sysv shared memory and msg queues also abuse the ipc lock, unnecessarily holding it for operations such as permission and security checks. This patchset mostly deals with mqueues, and while shared mem can be done in a very similar way, I want to get these patches out in the open first. It also does some pending cleanups, mostly focused on the two level locking we have in ipc code, taking care of ipc_addid() and ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() - yes there are still functions that need to be updated as well. This patch: Make all callers explicitly take and release the RCU read lock. This addresses the two level locking seen in newary(), newseg() and newqueue(). For the last two, explicitly unlock the ipc object and the rcu lock, instead of calling the custom shm_unlock and msg_unlock functions. The next patch will deal with the open coded locking for ->perm.lock Signed-off-by:

flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() destroys the counters set by ptrace, but "leaks" ->debugreg6 and ->ptrace_dr7. The problem is minor, but still it doesn't look right and flush_thread() did this until commit 66cb5917 ("hw-breakpoints: use the new wrapper routines to access debug registers in process/thread code"). Now that PTRACE_DETACH does flush_ too this makes even more sense. Signed-off-by:

Change ptrace_detach() to call flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint(child). This frees the slots for non-ptrace PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT users, and this ensures that the tracee won't be killed by SIGTRAP triggered by the active breakpoints. Test-case: unsigned long encode_dr7(int drnum, int enable, unsigned int type, unsigned int len) { unsigned long dr7; dr7 = ((len | type) & 0xf) << (DR_CONTROL_SHIFT + drnum * DR_CONTROL_SIZE); if (enable) dr7 |= (DR_GLOBAL_ENABLE << (drnum * DR_ENABLE_SIZE)); return dr7; } int write_dr(int pid, int dr, unsigned long val) { return ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, pid, offsetof (struct user, u_debugreg[dr]), val); } void func(void) { } int main(void) { int pid, stat; unsigned long dr7; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0); kill(getpid(), SIGHUP); func(); return 0x13; } assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0)); assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP); assert(write_dr(pid, 0, (long)func) == 0); dr7 = encode_dr7(0, 1, DR_RW_EXECUTE, DR_LEN_1); assert(write_dr(pid, 7, dr7) == 0); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, 0,0) == 0); assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0)); assert(stat == 0x1300); return 0; } Before this patch the child is killed after PTRACE_DETACH.

Commit 24f1e32c ("hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events") introduced the minor regression. Before this commit PTRACE_POKEUSER DR7, enableDR0 PTRACE_POKEUSER DR0, address was perfectly valid, now PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR7) fails if DR0 was not previously initialized by PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR0). Change ptrace_write_dr7() to do ptrace_register_breakpoint(addr => 0) if !bp && !disabled. This fixes watchpoint-zeroaddr from ptrace-tests, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660204.

No functional changes, preparation. Extract the "register breakpoint" code from ptrace_get_debugreg() into the new/generic helper, ptrace_register_breakpoint(). It will have more users. The patch also adds another simple helper, ptrace_fill_bp_fields(), to factor out the arch_bp_generic_fields() logic in register/modify. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
ptrace_write_dr7() skips ptrace_modify_breakpoint(disabled => true) unless second_pass, this buys nothing but complicates the code and means that we always do the main loop twice even if "disabled" was never true. The comment says: Don't unregister the breakpoints right-away, unless all register_user_hw_breakpoint() requests have succeeded. Firstly, we do not do register_user_hw_breakpoint(), it was removed by commit 24f1e32c ("hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events"). We are going to restore register_user_hw_breakpoint() (see the next patch) but this doesn't matter: after commit 44234adc ("hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them") perf_event_disable() can not hurt, hw_breakpoint_del() does not free the slot. Remove the "second_pass" check from the main loop and simplify the code. Since we have to check "bp != NULL" anyway, the patch also removes the same check in ptrace_modify_breakpoint() and moves the comment into ptrace_write_dr7(). With this patch the second pass is only needed to restore the saved old_dr7. This should never fail, so the patch adds WARN_ON() to catch the potential problems as Frederic suggested. Signed-off-by:

ptrace_write_dr7() looks unnecessarily overcomplicated. We can factor out ptrace_modify_breakpoint() and do not do "continue" twice, just we need to pass the proper "disabled" argument to ptrace_modify_breakpoint(). Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit bf26c018 ("Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpoints"). The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after commit 9899d11f ("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL"), the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and ->ptrace_bps[] can't go away. Now that ptrace_get_breakpoints/ptrace_put_breakpoints have no callers, we can kill them and remove task->ptrace_bp_refcnt. Signed-off-by:

This patch, originally from Android kernel, adds vfat ioctl command FAT_IOCTL_GET_VOLUME_ID, with this command we can get the vfat volume ID using following code: ioctl(fd, FAT_IOCTL_GET_VOLUME_ID, &volume_ID) This patch is a modified version of the patch by Mike Lockwood, with changes from Dmitry Pervushin, who noticed the original patch makes some volume IDs abiguous with error returns: for example, if volume id is 0xFFFFFDAD, that matches -ENOIOCTLCMD, we get "FFFFFFFF" from the user space. So add a parameter to ioctl to get the correct volume ID. Android uses vfat volume ID to identify different sd card, when a new sd card is inserted to device, android can scan the media on it and pop up new contents. Signed-off-by:
