The sleeping inside spinlock detection is actually used for more general sleeping inside atomic sections debugging: preemption disabled, rcu read side critical sections, interrupts, interrupt disabled, etc... Change the name of the config and its help section to reflect its more general role. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

Select CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT when we enable the sleeping inside spinlock detection, so that the preempt offset gets correctly incremented/decremented from preempt_disable()/preempt_enable(). This makes the preempt count eventually working in !CONFIG_PREEMPT when that debug option is set and thus fixes the detection of explicit preemption disabled sections under such config. Code that sleeps in explicitly preempt disabled section can be finally spotted in non-preemptible kernels. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

Create a new CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT that handles the inc/dec of preempt count offset independently. So that the offset can be updated by preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() even without the need for CONFIG_PREEMPT beeing set. This prepares to make CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP working with !CONFIG_PREEMPT where it currently doesn't detect code that sleeps inside explicit preemption disabled sections.

While looking over the code I found that with the ttwu rework the nr_wakeups_migrate test broke since we now switch cpus prior to calling ttwu_stat(), hence the test is always true. Cure this by passing the migration state in wake_flags. Also move the whole test under CONFIG_SMP, its hard to migrate tasks on UP :-) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-pwwxl7gdqs5676f1d4cx6pj7@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Markus reported that commit 317f3941 ("sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu") caused some accounting funnies on his AMD Phenom II X4, such as weird 'top' results. It turns out that this is due to non-synced TSC and the queued remote wakeups stopped coupeling the two relevant cpu clocks, which leads to wakeups seeing time jumps, which in turn lead to skewed runtime stats. Add an explicit call to sched_clock_cpu() to couple the per-cpu clocks to restore the normal flow of time.

Marc reported that e4a52bcb (sched: Remove rq->lock from the first half of ttwu()) broke his ARM-SMP machine. Now ARM is one of the few __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW users, so that exception in the ttwu() code was suspect. Yong found that the interrupt could hit after context_switch() changes current but before it clears p->on_cpu, if that interrupt were to attempt a wake-up of p we would indeed find ourselves spinning in IRQ context. Fix this by reverting to the old behaviour for this situation and perform a full remote wake-up.

Right now security_get_user_sids() will pass in a NULL avd pointer to avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which then forces that function to have a dummy entry for that case and just generally test it. Don't do it. The normal callers all pass a real avd pointer, and this helper function is incredibly hot. So don't make avc_has_perm_noaudit() do conditional stuff that isn't needed for the common case. This also avoids some duplicated stack space.

The first patch adds generic functionnality to w1_io for Resume Command [A5h] lots of slaves support. I found it useful for multi-commands/reset workflows with the same slave on a multi-slave bus. This DS2408 w1 slave driver is not complete for all the features of the chip, but its sufficient if you use it as a simple IO expander. Enjoy! The ds1wm had Kconfig dependencies towards ARM && HAVE_CLK. I took them out since I was using the ds1wm on an x86_64 platform (ds1wm in a FPGA through pcie) and found them irrelevant. The clock freq/divisors at the top of ds1wm.c did not have the MSB set to 1. This bit is CLK_EN which turns the whole prescaler and dividers on. The driver never mentionned this bit either, so I just included this bit right in the table entries. I also took the liberty to add a couple of entries to the table. The spec doesn't explicitely mentions these possibilities but the description and examination of the core shows the prescalers & dividers can be used for more than the table explicitely shows. The table I enlarged still doesn't cover all possibilities, but it's a good start. I also made a few tweaks to a couple of the read and write algorithms which made sense while I had my head very deep in the ds1wm documentation. We stressed it a lot with 10+ slaves on the bus, many ds2408, ds2431 and ds2433 at the same time doing extensive interaction. It proved quite stable in our production environment.

The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition tables. This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death"). crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)->header_size)); computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes. There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call. A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size. In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow. Validate value of GUID partition table header size.

The balloon driver in a Xen guest frees guest pages and marks them as mmio. When the kernel crashes and the crash kernel attempts to read the oldmem via /proc/vmcore a read from ballooned pages will generate 100% load in dom0 because Xen asks qemu-dm for the page content. Since the reads come in as 8byte requests each ballooned page is tried 512 times. With this change a hook can be registered which checks wether the given pfn is really ram. The hook has to return a value > 0 for ram pages, a value < 0 on error (because the hypercall is not known) and 0 for non-ram pages. This will reduce the time to read /proc/vmcore. Without this change a 512M guest with 128M crashkernel region needs 200 seconds to read it, with this change it takes just 2 seconds.

Now, exe_file is not proc FS dependent, so we can use it to name core file. So we add %E pattern for core file name cration which extract path from mm_struct->exe_file. Then it converts slashes to exclamation marks and pastes the result to the core file name itself. This is useful for environments where binary names are longer than 16 character (the current->comm limitation). Also where there are binaries with same name but in a different path. Further in case the binery itself changes its current->comm after exec. So by doing (s/$/#/ -- # is treated as git comment): $ sysctl kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%E' $ ln /bin/cat cat45678901234567890 $ ./cat45678901234567890 ^Z $ rm cat45678901234567890 $ fg ^\Quit (core dumped) $ ls core* we now get: core.2434.cat456789012345.!root!cat45678901234567890 (deleted) Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
