This solves two problems:\n\n (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of\n shmat\u0027s (and forks) done.\n\n (2) In mmap() where the VMA\u0027s vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an\n exec\u0027ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact\n that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another\n process or a dead process.\n\nA new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember\nthe circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure\nis discarded as it\u0027s no longer required.\n\nThis patch makes the following additional changes:\n\n (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and\n with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead,\n each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is\n interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.\n When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to\n put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.\n\n (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be\n made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.\n\n (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM\u0027s R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may\n end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is\n appended to the sort key.\n\n (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode\u0027s prio list.\n\n (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of\n the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if\n necessary.\n\n (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory\n segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple\n shmat()\u0027s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different\n virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.\n\n (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.\n\n (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits\n that aren\u0027t actually mapped anywhere.\n\n (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged \"MmapCopy\") that indicates the amount\n of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can\u0027t be\n mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not\n anonymous.\n\nThese changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that\nNOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this\npatch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nTested-by: Mike Frysinger \u003cvapier.adi@gmail.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Paul Mundt \u003clethal@linux-sh.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "490dea45d00f01847ebebd007685d564aaf2cd98", "tree": "a1f559fd497b10c21479b378ffb262d517cb627b", "parents": [ "ede6f5aea054d3fb67c78857f7abdee602302043" ], "author": { "name": "Peter Zijlstra", "email": "peterz@infradead.org", "time": "Mon Nov 24 17:06:57 2008 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Wed Jan 07 18:52:44 2009 +0100" }, "message": "itimers: remove the per-cpu-ish-ness\n\nEither we bounce once cacheline per cpu per tick, yielding n^2 bounces\nor we just bounce a single..\n\nAlso, using per-cpu allocations for the thread-groups complicates the\nper-cpu allocator in that its currently aimed to be a fixed sized\nallocator and the only possible extention to that would be vmap based,\nwhich is seriously constrained on 32 bit archs.\n\nSo making the per-cpu memory requirement depend on the number of\nprocesses is an issue.\n\nLastly, it didn\u0027t deal with cpu-hotplug, although admittedly that might\nbe fixable.\n\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003cpeterz@infradead.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "4cb0e11b15d2badad455fcd538af0cccf05dc012", "tree": "49975df37debdb274aa1b9b09a127ad217a405c0", "parents": [ "9cd4fd10437dda6b520cb1410b28f36967a34de8" ], "author": { "name": "Hidehiro Kawai", "email": "hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com", "time": "Tue Jan 06 14:42:47 2009 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Jan 06 15:59:29 2009 -0800" }, "message": "coredump_filter: permit changing of the default filter\n\nIntroduce a new kernel parameter `coredump_filter\u0027.

This uses RCU to manage the\ncredentials pointer in the task_struct with respect to accesses by other tasks.\nA process may only modify its own credentials, and so does not need locking to\naccess or modify its own credentials.\n\nA mutex (cred_replace_mutex) is added to the task_struct to control the effect\nof PTRACE_ATTACHED on credential calculations, particularly with respect to\nexecve().\n\nWith this patch, the contents of an active credentials struct may not be\nchanged directly; rather a new set of credentials must be prepared, modified\nand committed using something like the following sequence of events:\n\n\tstruct cred *new \u003d prepare_creds();\n\tint ret \u003d blah(new);\n\tif (ret \u003c 0) {\n\t\tabort_creds(new);\n\t\treturn ret;\n\t}\n\treturn commit_creds(new);\n\nThere are some exceptions to this rule: the keyrings pointed to by the active\ncredentials may be instantiated - keyrings violate the COW rule as managing\nCOW keyrings is tricky, given that it is possible for a task to directly alter\nthe keys in a keyring in use by another task.\n\nTo help enforce this, various pointers to sets of credentials, such as those in\nthe task_struct, are declared const. The purpose of this is compile-time\ndiscouragement of altering credentials through those pointers. Once a set of\ncredentials has been made public through one of these pointers, it may not be\nmodified, except under special circumstances:\n\n (1) Its reference count may incremented and decremented.\n\n (2) The keyrings to which it points may be modified, but not replaced.\n\nThe only safe way to modify anything else is to create a replacement and commit\nusing the functions described in Documentation/credentials.txt (which will be\nadded by a later patch).\n\nThis patch and the preceding patches have been tested with the LTP SELinux\ntestsuite.\n\nThis patch makes several logical sets of alteration:\n\n (1) execve().\n\n This now prepares and commits credentials in various places in the\n security code rather than altering the current creds directly.\n\n (2) Temporary credential overrides.\n\n do_coredump() and sys_faccessat() now prepare their own credentials and\n temporarily override the ones currently on the acting thread, whilst\n preventing interference from other threads by holding cred_replace_mutex\n on the thread being dumped.\n\n This will be replaced in a future patch by something that hands down the\n credentials directly to the functions being called, rather than altering\n the task\u0027s objective credentials.\n\n (3) LSM interface.\n\n A number of functions have been changed, added or removed:\n\n (*) security_capset_check(), -\u003ecapset_check()\n (*) security_capset_set(), -\u003ecapset_set()\n\n \t Removed in favour of security_capset().\n\n (*) security_capset(), -\u003ecapset()\n\n \t New. This is passed a pointer to the new creds, a pointer to the old\n \t creds and the proposed capability sets. It should fill in the new\n \t creds or return an error. All pointers, barring the pointer to the\n \t new creds, are now const.\n\n (*) security_bprm_apply_creds(), -\u003ebprm_apply_creds()\n\n \t Changed; now returns a value, which will cause the process to be\n \t killed if it\u0027s an error.\n\n (*) security_task_alloc(), -\u003etask_alloc_security()\n\n \t Removed in favour of security_prepare_creds().\n\n (*) security_cred_free(), -\u003ecred_free()\n\n \t New. Free security data attached to cred-\u003esecurity.\n\n (*) security_prepare_creds(), -\u003ecred_prepare()\n\n \t New. Duplicate any security data attached to cred-\u003esecurity.\n\n (*) security_commit_creds(), -\u003ecred_commit()\n\n \t New. Apply any security effects for the upcoming installation of new\n \t security by commit_creds().\n\n (*) security_task_post_setuid(), -\u003etask_post_setuid()\n\n \t Removed in favour of security_task_fix_setuid().\n\n (*) security_task_fix_setuid(), -\u003etask_fix_setuid()\n\n \t Fix up the proposed new credentials for setuid(). This is used by\n \t cap_set_fix_setuid() to implicitly adjust capabilities in line with\n \t setuid() changes. Changes are made to the new credentials, rather\n \t than the task itself as in security_task_post_setuid().\n\n (*) security_task_reparent_to_init(), -\u003etask_reparent_to_init()\n\n \t Removed. Instead the task being reparented to init is referred\n \t directly to init\u0027s credentials.\n\n\t NOTE! This results in the loss of some state: SELinux\u0027s osid no\n\t longer records the sid of the thread that forked it.\n\n (*) security_key_alloc(), -\u003ekey_alloc()\n (*) security_key_permission(), -\u003ekey_permission()\n\n \t Changed. These now take cred pointers rather than task pointers to\n \t refer to the security context.\n\n (4) sys_capset().\n\n This has been simplified and uses less locking. The LSM functions it\n calls have been merged.\n\n (5) reparent_to_kthreadd().\n\n This gives the current thread the same credentials as init by simply using\n commit_thread() to point that way.\n\n (6) __sigqueue_alloc() and switch_uid()\n\n __sigqueue_alloc() can\u0027t stop the target task from changing its creds\n beneath it, so this function gets a reference to the currently applicable\n user_struct which it then passes into the sigqueue struct it returns if\n successful.\n\n switch_uid() is now called from commit_creds(), and possibly should be\n folded into that. commit_creds() should take care of protecting\n __sigqueue_alloc().\n\n (7) [sg]et[ug]id() and co and [sg]et_current_groups.\n\n The set functions now all use prepare_creds(), commit_creds() and\n abort_creds() to build and check a new set of credentials before applying\n it.\n\n security_task_set[ug]id() is called inside the prepared section. This\n guarantees that nothing else will affect the creds until we\u0027ve finished.\n\n The calling of set_dumpable() has been moved into commit_creds().\n\n Much of the functionality of set_user() has been moved into\n commit_creds().\n\n The get functions all simply access the data directly.\n\n (8) security_task_prctl() and cap_task_prctl().\n\n security_task_prctl() has been modified to return -ENOSYS if it doesn\u0027t\n want to handle a function, or otherwise return the return value directly\n rather than through an argument.\n\n Additionally, cap_task_prctl() now prepares a new set of credentials, even\n if it doesn\u0027t end up using it.\n\n (9) Keyrings.\n\n A number of changes have been made to the keyrings code:\n\n (a) switch_uid_keyring(), copy_keys(), exit_keys() and suid_keys() have\n \t all been dropped and built in to the credentials functions directly.\n \t They may want separating out again later.\n\n (b) key_alloc() and search_process_keyrings() now take a cred pointer\n \t rather than a task pointer to specify the security context.\n\n (c) copy_creds() gives a new thread within the same thread group a new\n \t thread keyring if its parent had one, otherwise it discards the thread\n \t keyring.\n\n (d) The authorisation key now points directly to the credentials to extend\n \t the search into rather pointing to the task that carries them.\n\n (e) Installing thread, process or session keyrings causes a new set of\n \t credentials to be created, even though it\u0027s not strictly necessary for\n \t process or session keyrings (they\u0027re shared).\n\n(10) Usermode helper.\n\n The usermode helper code now carries a cred struct pointer in its\n subprocess_info struct instead of a new session keyring pointer. This set\n of credentials is derived from init_cred and installed on the new process\n after it has been cloned.\n\n call_usermodehelper_setup() allocates the new credentials and\n call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() discards them if they haven\u0027t been used. A\n special cred function (prepare_usermodeinfo_creds()) is provided\n specifically for call_usermodehelper_setup() to call.\n\n call_usermodehelper_setkeys() adjusts the credentials to sport the\n supplied keyring as the new session keyring.\n\n(11) SELinux.\n\n SELinux has a number of changes, in addition to those to support the LSM\n interface changes mentioned above:\n\n (a) selinux_setprocattr() no longer does its check for whether the\n \t current ptracer can access processes with the new SID inside the lock\n \t that covers getting the ptracer\u0027s SID. Whilst this lock ensures that\n \t the check is done with the ptracer pinned, the result is only valid\n \t until the lock is released, so there\u0027s no point doing it inside the\n \t lock.\n\n(12) is_single_threaded().\n\n This function has been extracted from selinux_setprocattr() and put into\n a file of its own in the lib/ directory as join_session_keyring() now\n wants to use it too.\n\n The code in SELinux just checked to see whether a task shared mm_structs\n with other tasks (CLONE_VM), but that isn\u0027t good enough. We really want\n to know if they\u0027re part of the same thread group (CLONE_THREAD).\n\n(13) nfsd.\n\n The NFS server daemon now has to use the COW credentials to set the\n credentials it is going to use. It really needs to pass the credentials\n down to the functions it calls, but it can\u0027t do that until other patches\n in this series have been applied.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "bb952bb98a7e479262c7eb25d5592545a3af147d", "tree": "9a2158c07a22a5fbddcec412944d2e7534eecc8f", "parents": [ "275bb41e9d058fbb327e7642f077e1beaeac162e" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:20 2008 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:20 2008 +1100" }, "message": "CRED: Separate per-task-group keyrings from signal_struct\n\nSeparate per-task-group keyrings from signal_struct and dangle their anchor\nfrom the cred struct rather than the signal_struct.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nReviewed-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "f1752eec6145c97163dbce62d17cf5d928e28a27", "tree": "16bc51166d38815092de36a461b845b0b4b522f9", "parents": [ "b6dff3ec5e116e3af6f537d4caedcad6b9e5082a" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:17 2008 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:17 2008 +1100" }, "message": "CRED: Detach the credentials from task_struct\n\nDetach the credentials from task_struct, duplicating them in copy_process()\nand releasing them in __put_task_struct().\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Serge Hallyn \u003cserue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "b6dff3ec5e116e3af6f537d4caedcad6b9e5082a", "tree": "9e76f972eb7ce9b84e0146c8e4126a3f86acb428", "parents": [ "15a2460ed0af7538ca8e6c610fe607a2cd9da142" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:16 2008 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Fri Nov 14 10:39:16 2008 +1100" }, "message": "CRED: Separate task security context from task_struct\n\nSeparate the task security context from task_struct.

It was put together\nwith the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code.\n\nThe problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using\na profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads. It appears\nthat the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was\nat least O(n*3) (where \"n\" is the number of threads in a process) or worse.\nEverything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken\nfor that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at\nwhich point things degrade rather quickly.\n\nThis patch fixes bug 9906, \"Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF.\"\n\nCode Changes\n\nThis rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it\nrun in constant time for a particular machine. (Performance may vary between\none machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single-\nor multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of\nrunning processors.) To do this, at each tick we now update fields in\nsignal_struct as well as task_struct. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function\nuses those fields to make its decisions.\n\nWe define a new structure, \"task_cputime,\" to contain user, system and\nscheduler times and use these in appropriate places:\n\nstruct task_cputime {\n\tcputime_t utime;\n\tcputime_t stime;\n\tunsigned long long sum_exec_runtime;\n};\n\nThis is included in the structure \"thread_group_cputime,\" which is a new\nsubstructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus\nmultiprocessor kernels. For uniprocessor kernels, it uses \"task_cputime\" as\na simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer:\n\nstruct thread_group_cputime {\n\tstruct task_cputime totals;\n};\n\nstruct thread_group_cputime {\n\tstruct task_cputime *totals;\n};\n\nWe also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to\ncache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also\nreplaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration\nof thread timers). The \"thread_group_cputime\" structure contains process-wide\ntimers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends. In the non-SMP\ncase the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that\nsimplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in\none measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than\nthe same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention). For SMP, the\nthread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated\nusing alloc_percpu(). The timer functions update only the timer field in\nthe structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr().\n\nWe define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the\nthread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP\nimplementations from the rest of the kernel. The thread_group_cputime_init()\nfunction initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task.\nThe thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the\nout-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill\nin the per-cpu structures and fields. The thread_group_cputime_free()\nfunction, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures. The\nthread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls\nthread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven\u0027t yet been\nallocated. The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime\nstructure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields;\nin UP it\u0027s that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk-\u003esignal\nis non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and,\nif so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU. Finally, the three\nfunctions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and\naccount_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the\nrespective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure.\n\nNon-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further.\n\nThe per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new\nthread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal().\nIt is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from\ncleanup_signal().\n\nAll functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from\nfrom all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to\nsnapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in\nthe task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn\u0027t been allocated.\n\nFinally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit.\nThe run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a\nslow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread\ntimers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting.\nWith the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer \"rebalanced\" and\nthe process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away. All\nsumming loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the\nthread_group_cputime() inline. When process-wide timers are set, the new\ntask_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest\nexpiration; this is checked in the fast path.\n\nPerformance\n\nThe fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations. It\ngenerally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in\nwhich it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs\nvery significantly better (Case 2 below). Overall it\u0027s a wash except in those\ntwo cases.\n\nI\u0027ve since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system.\n\nCase 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed\n\tkernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system,\n\tall of which was spent in the system. There were twice as many\n\tvoluntary context switches with the fix as without it.\n\nCase 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most\n\tan unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in\n\teight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and\n\thad better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023\n\tseconds per tick).\n\nCase 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an\n\tinterval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had\n\tvery nearly the same performance in both cases: 6.3 seconds elapsed\n\tfor the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel.\n\nWith fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially\nthe same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus\n5.8 seconds). The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds\nversus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per\ntick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel.\n\nSince the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits.\n\nCase 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer\n\trunning), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while\n\tit killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of\n\twall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was\n\tuser time. The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds\n\tof CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system\n\ttime. Really, though, the results were too close to call. The results\n\twere essentially the same with no itimer running.\n\nCase 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds\n\t(where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running,\n\tthe modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified\n\tkernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick. Otherwise,\n\tperformance was almost indistinguishable. With no itimer running this\n\ttest exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases.\n\nIn times past I did some limited performance testing. those results are below.\n\nOn a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed\nin 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s. On\nthe same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but\nsystem time dropped to 0.007 seconds. Performance with eight, four and one\nthread were comparable. Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed\nmore accurate: The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks\nfor 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720\nfor 0.061 seconds per tick. Both cases were configured for an interval of\n0.01 seconds. Again, the other tests were comparable. Each thread in this\ntest computed the primes up to 25,000,000.\n\nI also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is\nimpossible without the fix. In this case each thread computed the primes only\nup to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable). System time dominated, at\n1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of\n629.938s). It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite\naccurate. There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.\n\nSigned-off-by: Frank Mayhar \u003cfmayhar@google.com\u003e\nCc: Roland McGrath \u003croland@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Alexey Dobriyan \u003cadobriyan@gmail.com\u003e\nCc: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "6976675d94042fbd446231d1bd8b7de71a980ada", "tree": "2d2acebb8078dd373115ecbdac5423f7d4fa7d72", "parents": [ "654c8e0b1c623b156c5b92f28d914ab38c9c2c90" ], "author": { "name": "Arjan van de Ven", "email": "arjan@linux.intel.com", "time": "Mon Sep 01 15:52:40 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Arjan van de Ven", "email": "arjan@linux.intel.com", "time": "Fri Sep 05 21:35:30 2008 -0700" }, "message": "hrtimer: create a \"timer_slack\" field in the task struct\n\nWe want to be able to control the default \"rounding\" that is used by\nselect() and poll() and friends.

In GRU case there\u0027s no\nactual secondary pte and there\u0027s only a secondary tlb because the GRU\nsecondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss\nevent in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by\nthe CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will\nwalk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently\nto software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way\nzap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte\n(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and\nreused.\n\nCurrently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that\nmeans the pages can\u0027t be swapped whenever they\u0027re mapped by any spte\nbecause they\u0027re part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap\nevent can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released\n(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe\nlogic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the\nspte unmap event doesn\u0027t require an unpin of the page previously mapped in\nthe secondary MMU).\n\nThe mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk-\u003emm and know\nwhen the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so\nthat the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,\navoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest\nphysical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the\nmappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in\nzap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for\neach fixed number of spte unmapped.\n\nTo make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection\ndowngrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be\ninvalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call\nget_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it\ncalled get_user_pages with write\u003d1, and it\u0027ll re-establishing an updated\nspte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a\nreadonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it\u0027s a guest-read, if it calls\nget_user_pages with write\u003d0. This is just an example.\n\nThis allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the\nprimary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an\nfull MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer\nwith kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of\nschedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no\nneed to schedule in kvm/gru as it\u0027s an immediate event like invalidating\nprimary-mmu pte).\n\nAt least for KVM without this patch it\u0027s impossible to swap guests\nreliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows\nseveral other optimizations that simplify life considerably.\n\nDependencies:\n\n1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM\n isn\u0027t doing anything with \"mm\". This allows mmu notifier users to keep\n track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end\n critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and\n decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map\n any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of\n range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical\n section could later immediately be freed without any further\n -\u003einvalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on\n ranges and -\u003einvalidate_page isn\u0027t called immediately before freeing\n the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the\n mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap\n locks must be taken too.\n\n2) It\u0027d be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly\n run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if\n CONFIG_KVM\u003dm/y. In the current kernel kvm won\u0027t yet take advantage of\n mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module\n against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from\n kvm.git we\u0027ll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to\n continue the development by enabling KVM\u003dm in their config, until they\n submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can\n also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM\u003dn).\n This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER\u003dy if KVM and GRU and XPMEM\n are all \u003dn.\n\nThe mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be\ninterrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster\nis used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here\nan example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.\nUsually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and\n-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.\n\n struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)\n {\n struct kvm *kvm \u003d kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);\n+ int err;\n\n if (!kvm)\n return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);\n\n INIT_LIST_HEAD(\u0026kvm-\u003earch.active_mmu_pages);\n\n+ kvm-\u003earch.mmu_notifier.ops \u003d \u0026kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;\n+ err \u003d mmu_notifier_register(\u0026kvm-\u003earch.mmu_notifier, current-\u003emm);\n+ if (err) {\n+ kfree(kvm);\n+ return ERR_PTR(err);\n+ }\n+\n return kvm;\n }\n\nmmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it\u0027s reliable.\n\nThe patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent\nkernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn\u0027t need\nthem by luck).\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mm/filemap_xip.c build]\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mm/mmu_notifier.c build]\nSigned-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli \u003candrea@qumranet.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Lameter \u003ccl@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nCc: Jack Steiner \u003csteiner@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Robin Holt \u003cholt@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nCc: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nCc: Kanoj Sarcar \u003ckanojsarcar@yahoo.com\u003e\nCc: Roland Dreier \u003crdreier@cisco.com\u003e\nCc: Steve Wise \u003cswise@opengridcomputing.com\u003e\nCc: Avi Kivity \u003cavi@qumranet.com\u003e\nCc: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nCc: Rusty Russell \u003crusty@rustcorp.com.au\u003e\nCc: Anthony Liguori \u003caliguori@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Chris Wright \u003cchrisw@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Marcelo Tosatti \u003cmarcelo@kvack.org\u003e\nCc: Eric Dumazet \u003cdada1@cosmosbay.com\u003e\nCc: \"Paul E.

This way, task t1 does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get\n\t t2, which does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get t3, then the\n\t cgroup for t3 will be named for the pid by which t2 knows\n\t t3.\n\n(Thanks to Dan Smith for finding the main bug)\n\nChangelog:\n\tJune 11: Incorporate Paul Menage\u0027s feedback: don\u0027t pass\n\t NULL to ns_cgroup_clone from unshare, and reduce\n\t\t patch size by using \u0027nodename\u0027 in cgroup_clone.\n\tJune 10: Original version\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]\nSigned-off-by: Serge Hallyn \u003cserge@us.ibm.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Paul Menage \u003cmenage@google.com\u003e\nTested-by: Dan Smith \u003cdanms@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@in.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki \u003ckamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "b69c49b78457f681ecfb3147bd968434ee6559c1", "tree": "9557c950c21cf4336ccc403136ea11384150af31", "parents": [ "62ec30d45ecbb85b5991474c8f04192697687495" ], "author": { "name": "FUJITA Tomonori", "email": "fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp", "time": "Fri Jul 25 01:45:40 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Jul 25 10:53:28 2008 -0700" }, "message": "clean up duplicated alloc/free_thread_info\n\nWe duplicate alloc/free_thread_info defines on many platforms (the\nmajority uses __get_free_pages/free_pages).

The\nreserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for\nprivate mappings. This guarantees that a process that successfully calls\nmmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is\ncalled.\n\nThe characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after\nthis patch are;\n\n1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until\n it forks().\n2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private\n mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably\n reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of\n hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as\n might occur when fork()ing to exec().\n3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already\n faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough\n huge pages being free in the pool.\n4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper\n and at fault time otherwise.\n\nBefore this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page\nallocations that can later lead to the death of the parent. This applies\nto reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW. After the\npatch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.\n\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nAcked-by: Adam Litke \u003cagl@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Andy Whitcroft \u003capw@shadowen.org\u003e\nCc: William Lee Irwin III \u003cwli@holomorphy.com\u003e\nCc: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "f470021adb9190819c03d6d8c5c860a17480aa6d", "tree": "9e5c2808138624e272b562a502cfd035ae59c268", "parents": [ "98abed02007b19bbfd68b6d06a5485afc3eeb01b" ], "author": { "name": "Roland McGrath", "email": "roland@redhat.com", "time": "Mon Mar 24 18:36:23 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Roland McGrath", "email": "roland@redhat.com", "time": "Wed Jul 16 18:02:33 2008 -0700" }, "message": "ptrace children revamp\n\nptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the\nold ptrace_children list is gone.
