Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Here's two fixes: 1) Discovered by Fengguang Wu's tests. I changed the parameters to the function graph x86 prepare_ftrace_return call but forgot to update the call from entry_32 (i386 version). This patch corrects that. 2) I was tracing some code and found that the sched_switch tracepoint was showing tasks in the INTERRUPTIBLE state as RUNNING. This was due to the updates to convert preempt_count into a per_cpu variable. The tracepoint logic was made to use the tasks saved_preempt_count which could hold a stale "PREEMPT_ACTIVE", instead of using the current preempt_count() call" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing/sched: Check preempt_count() for current when reading task->state ftrace/x86: Update i386 call to prepare_ftrace_return() -

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore: "Two small patches from the audit next branch; only one of which has any real significant code changes, the other is simply a MAINTAINERS update for audit. The single code patch is pretty small and rather straightforward, it changes the audit "version" number reported to userspace from an integer to a bitmap which is used to indicate the functionality of the running kernel. This really doesn't have much impact on the kernel, but it will make life easier for the audit userspace folks. Thankfully we were still on a version number which allowed us to do this without breaking userspace" * 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: convert status version to a feature bitmap audit: add Paul Moore to the MAINTAINERS entry

destroy_list is used to track marks which still need waiting for srcu period end before they can be freed. However by the time mark is added to destroy_list it isn't in group's list of marks anymore and thus we can reuse fsnotify_mark->g_list for queueing into destroy_list. This saves two pointers for each fsnotify_mark. Signed-off-by:

The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the file system. System call fallocate() modifies files. Hence it should trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY) events. The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data. This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify(). The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate() succeeds. It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged, e.g. when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE. This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple. It resembles the logic of the write() system call. When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case of overwriting with identical data. Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was actually changed. Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the fallocate() call may be considered a modification. The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to fail because of lack of disk space. So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset and len. Signed-off-by:

kmemleak will add allocations as objects to a pool. The memory allocated for each object in this pool is periodically searched for pointers to other allocated objects. This only works for memory that is mapped into the kernel's virtual address space, which happens not to be the case for most CMA regions. Furthermore, CMA regions are typically used to store data transferred to or from a device and therefore don't contain pointers to other objects. Without this, the kernel crashes on the first execution of the scan_gray_list() because it tries to access highmem. Perhaps a more appropriate fix would be to reject any object that can't map to a kernel virtual address?

If we fail to allocate from the current node's stock, we look for free objects on other nodes before calling the page allocator (see get_any_partial). While checking other nodes we respect cpuset constraints by calling cpuset_zone_allowed. We enforce hardwall check. As a result, we will fallback to the page allocator even if there are some pages cached on other nodes, but the current cpuset doesn't have them set. However, the page allocator uses softwall check for kernel allocations, so it may allocate from one of the other nodes in this case. Therefore we should use softwall cpuset check in get_any_partial to conform with the cpuset check in the page allocator. Signed-off-by:

fallback_alloc is called on kmalloc if the preferred node doesn't have free or partial slabs and there's no pages on the node's free list (GFP_THISNODE allocations fail). Before invoking the reclaimer it tries to locate a free or partial slab on other allowed nodes' lists. While iterating over the preferred node's zonelist it skips those zones which hardwall cpuset check returns false for. That means that for a task bound to a specific node using cpusets fallback_alloc will always ignore free slabs on other nodes and go directly to the reclaimer, which, however, may allocate from other nodes if cpuset.mem_hardwall is unset (default). As a result, we may get lists of free slabs grow without bounds on other nodes, which is bad, because inactive slabs are only evicted by cache_reap at a very slow rate and cannot be dropped forcefully. To reproduce the issue, run a process that will walk over a directory tree with lots of files inside a cpuset bound to a node that constantly experiences memory pressure. Look at num_slabs vs active_slabs growth as reported by /proc/slabinfo. To avoid this we should use softwall cpuset check in fallback_alloc. Signed-off-by:

Andrew Morton noted http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20141104142027.a7a0d010772d84560b445f59@linux-foundation.org that the shmdt uses inode->i_size outside of i_mutex being held. There is one more case in shm.c in shm_destroy(). This converts both users over to use i_size_read(). Signed-off-by:

This is a highly-contrived scenario. But, a single shmdt() call can be induced in to unmapping memory from mulitple shm segments. Example code is here: http://www.sr71.net/~dave/intel/shmfun.c The fix is pretty simple: Record the 'struct file' for the first VMA we encounter and then stick to it. Decline to unmap anything not from the same file and thus the same segment. I found this by inspection and the odds of anyone hitting this in practice are pretty darn small. Lightly tested, but it's a pretty small patch. Signed-off-by:

SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory. For most systems, a small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX. Therefore: increase MSGMNI to the maximum supported. And: If we ignore the risk of locking too much memory, then an automatic scaling of MSGMNI doesn't make sense. Therefore the logic can be removed. The code preserves auto_msgmni to avoid breaking any user space applications that expect that the value exists. Notes: 1) If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set MSGMNI as necessary. Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android). 2) MSGMAX and MSGMNB are intentionally not increased, as these values are used to control latency vs. throughput: If MSGMNB is large, then msgsnd() just returns and more messages can be queued before a task switch to a task that calls msgrcv() is forced.

a) SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory. For most systems, a small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX. Therefore: Increase the sysv sem limits so that all known applications will work with these defaults. b) With regards to the maximum supported: Some of the specified hard limits are not correct anymore, therefore the patch updates the documentation. - SEMMNI must stay below IPCMNI, which is 32768. As for SHMMAX: Stay a bit below this limit. - SEMMSL was limited to 8k, to ensure that the kmalloc for the kernel array was limited to 16 kB (order=2) This doesn't apply anymore: - the allocation size isn't sizeof(short)*nsems anymore. - ipc_alloc falls back to vmalloc - SEMOPM should stay below 1000, to limit the kmalloc in semtimedop() to an order=1 allocation. Therefore: Leave it at 500 (order=0 allocation). Note: If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set the values as necessary. Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android). Signed-off-by:

When I fixed bugs in the sem_lock() logic, I was more conservative than necessary. Therefore it is safe to replace the smp_mb() with smp_rmb(). And: With smp_rmb(), semop() syscalls are up to 10% faster. The race we must protect against is: sem->lock is free sma->complex_count = 0 sma->sem_perm.lock held by thread B thread A: A: spin_lock(&sem->lock) B: sma->complex_count++; (now 1) B: spin_unlock(&sma->sem_perm.lock); A: spin_is_locked(&sma->sem_perm.lock); A: XXXXX memory barrier A: if (sma->complex_count == 0) Thread A must read the increased complex_count value, i.e. the read must not be reordered with the read of sem_perm.lock done by spin_is_locked(). Since it's about ordering of reads, smp_rmb() is sufficient. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: update sem_lock() comment, from Davidlohr] Signed-off-by:

"origPtr" is used as an offset into the bd->dbuf[] array. That array is allocated in start_bunzip() and has "bd->dbufSize" number of elements so the test here should be >= instead of >.

The kernel has support for (nearly) every compression algorithm known to man, each to handle some particular microscopic niche. Unfortunately all of these always get compiled in if you want to support INITRDs, and can be only disabled when CONFIG_EXPERT is set. I don't see why I need to set EXPERT just to properly configure the initrd compression algorithms, and not always include every possible algorithm Usually the initrd is just compressed with gzip anyways, at least that's true on all distributions I use. Remove the dependencies for initrd compression on CONFIG_EXPERT. Make the various options just default y, which should be good enough to not break any previous configuration. Signed-off-by:

David Drysdale authored
This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528). The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem, at least for executables (rather than scripts). The current glibc version of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed or otherwise restricted environments. Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be an appropriate generalization. Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without back-compatibility concerns. The current implementation just defines the AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474). Related history: - https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment. - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to "prevent other people from wasting their time". - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve() because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since been fixed. This patch (of 4): Add a new execveat(2) system call. execveat() is to execve() as openat() is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and resolves the filename relative to that. In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified, execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers. This replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/<fd>" (and so relies on /proc being mounted). The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/<fd>" (for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd/<fd>/<filename>", effectively reflecting how the executable was found. This does however mean that execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be accessible after exec).

When running FSX with direct I/O mode, fsx resulted in DATA past EOF issues. fsx ./file2 -Z -r 4096 -w 4096 ... .. truncating to largest ever: 0x907c fallocating to largest ever: 0x11137 truncating to largest ever: 0x2c6fe truncating to largest ever: 0x2cfdf fallocating to largest ever: 0x40000 Mapped Read: non-zero data past EOF (0x18628) page offset 0x629 is 0x2a4e ... .. The reason being, it is doing a truncate down, but the zeroing does not happen on the last block boundary when offset is not aligned. Even though it calls truncate_setsize()->truncate_inode_pages()-> truncate_inode_pages_range() and considers the partial zeroout but it retrieves the page using find_lock_page() - which only looks the page in the cache. So, zeroing out does not happen in case of direct IO. Make a truncate page based around block_truncate_page for FAT filesystem and invoke that helper to zerout in case the offset is not aligned with the blocksize. Signed-off-by:
