timer: Fix jiffies wrap behavior of round_jiffies_common()

2013-07-22T01:21:31+00:00

commit 9e04d3804d3ac97d8c03a41d78d0f0674b5d01e1 upstream.

Direct compare of jiffies related values does not work in the wrap
around case. Replace it with time_is_after_jiffies().

genirq: Fix can_request_irq() for IRQs without an action

2013-07-22T01:21:27+00:00

commit 2779db8d37d4b542d9ca2575f5f178dbeaca6c86 upstream.

Commit 02725e7471b8 ('genirq: Use irq_get/put functions'),
inadvertently changed can_request_irq() to return 0 for IRQs that have
no action.  This causes pcibios_lookup_irq() to select only IRQs that
already have an action with IRQF_SHARED set, or to fail if there are
none.  Change can_request_irq() to return 1 for IRQs that have no
action (if the first two conditions are met).

     cgroup: fix cgroup hierarchy umount race

This commit fixed a race caused by the dput() in css_dput_fn(), but
the dput() in cgroup_event_remove() can also lead to the same BUG().

futex: Take hugepages into account when generating futex_key

2013-07-13T18:42:26+00:00

commit 13d60f4b6ab5b702dc8d2ee20999f98a93728aec upstream.

The futex_keys of process shared futexes are generated from the page
offset, the mapping host and the mapping index of the futex user space
address. This should result in an unique identifier for each futex.

Though this is not true when futexes are located in different subpages
of an hugepage. The reason is, that the mapping index for all those
futexes evaluates to the index of the base page of the hugetlbfs
mapping. So a futex at offset 0 of the hugepage mapping and another
one at offset PAGE_SIZE of the same hugepage mapping have identical
futex_keys. This happens because the futex code blindly uses
page->index.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Map a file from hugetlbfs. Initialize pthread_mutex1 at offset 0
   and pthread_mutex2 at offset PAGE_SIZE of the hugetlbfs
   mapping.

   The mutexes must be initialized as PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED because
   PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE mutexes are not affected by this issue as
   their keys solely depend on the user space address.

2. Lock mutex1 and mutex2

3. Create thread1 and in the thread function lock mutex1, which
   results in thread1 blocking on the locked mutex1.

4. Create thread2 and in the thread function lock mutex2, which
   results in thread2 blocking on the locked mutex2.

5. Unlock mutex2. Despite the fact that mutex2 got unlocked, thread2
   still blocks on mutex2 because the futex_key points to mutex1.

To solve this issue we need to take the normal page index of the page
which contains the futex into account, if the futex is in an hugetlbfs
mapping. In other words, we calculate the normal page mapping index of
the subpage in the hugetlbfs mapping.

Mappings which are not based on hugetlbfs are not affected and still
use page->index.

Thanks to Mel Gorman who provided a patch for adding proper evaluation
functions to the hugetlbfs code to avoid exposing hugetlbfs specific
details to the futex code.

module: do percpu allocation after uniqueness check. No, really!

2013-07-13T18:42:26+00:00

commit 8d8022e8aba85192e937f1f0f7450e256d66ae5c upstream.

v3.8-rc1-5-g1fb9341 was supposed to stop parallel kvm loads exhausting
percpu memory on large machines:

    Now we have a new state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, we can insert the
    module into the list (and thus guarantee its uniqueness) before we
    allocate the per-cpu region.

In my defence, it didn't actually say the patch did this.  Just that
we "can".

This patch actually *does* it.

Fix: kernel/ptrace.c: ptrace_peek_siginfo() missing __put_user() validation

2013-06-29T18:29:08+00:00

This __put_user() could be used by unprivileged processes to write into
kernel memory.  The issue here is that even if copy_siginfo_to_user()
fails, the error code is not checked before __put_user() is executed.

Luckily, ptrace_peek_siginfo() has been added within the 3.10-rc cycle,
so it has not hit a stable release yet.

tick: Fix tick_broadcast_pending_mask not cleared

2013-06-21T11:10:34+00:00

The recent modification in the cpuidle framework consolidated the
timer broadcast code across the different drivers by setting a new
flag in the idle state. It tells the cpuidle core code to enter/exit
the broadcast mode for the cpu when entering a deep idle state. The
broadcast timer enter/exit is no longer handled by the back-end
driver.

This change made the local interrupt to be enabled *before* calling
CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT.

On a tegra114, a four cores system, when the flag has been introduced
in the driver, the following warning appeared:

WARNING: at kernel/time/tick-broadcast.c:578 tick_broadcast_oneshot_control

[] (cpu_startup_entry+0x60/0x134) from [<804fe9a4>] (0x804fe9a4)

I don't have the hardware, so I wasn't able to reproduce the warning
but after looking a while at the code, I deduced the following:

 1. the CPU2 enters a deep idle state and sets the broadcast timer

 2. the timer expires, the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast function is
    called, setting the tick_broadcast_pending_mask and waking up the
    idle cpu CPU2

 3. the CPU2 exits idle handles the interrupt and then invokes
    tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT which
    runs the following code:

    [...]
    if (dev->next_event.tv64 == KTIME_MAX)
            goto out;

    if (cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu,
                                 tick_broadcast_pending_mask))
            goto out;
    [...]

    So if there is no next event scheduled for CPU2, we fulfil the
    first condition and jump out without clearing the
    tick_broadcast_pending_mask.

 4. CPU2 goes to deep idle again and calls
    tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_NOTIFY_EVENT_ENTER but
    with the tick_broadcast_pending_mask set for CPU2, triggering the
    warning.

The issue only surfaced due to the modifications of the cpuidle
framework, which resulted in interrupts being enabled before the call
to the clockevents code. If the call happens before interrupts have
been enabled, the warning cannot trigger, because there is still the
event pending which caused the broadcast timer expiry.

Move the check for the next event below the check for the pending bit,
so the pending bit gets cleared whether an event is scheduled on the
cpu or not.
