linux-toradex.git/kernel, branch v4.4.5 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race. 2016-03-09T23:34:56+00:00 Rusty Russell rusty@rustcorp.com.au 2016-02-03T06:25:26+00:00 610dde5afb2dbf7182eb0e6d56daa7e8700d52c4 commit 8244062ef1e54502ef55f54cced659913f244c3e upstream. For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables. There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the module's init section.

After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core versions. We do this under the module_mutex. However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because it's used in the oops path. It's also used in /proc/kallsyms. There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact this is what I saw when trying to reproduce.

tracing: Do not have 'comm' filter override event 'comm' field 2016-03-09T23:34:52+00:00 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) rostedt@goodmis.org 2016-03-03T22:18:20+00:00 180c86a4f06231a09a00b8e6d1c07775341c94b8 commit e57cbaf0eb006eaa207395f3bfd7ce52c1b5539c upstream. Commit 9f61668073a8d "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event. That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated. echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash" itself gets migrated. This fix requires a couple of changes. 1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events fields before looking at the generic filters. 2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function. 3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field.

 echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter

will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that

kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in __request_region() 2016-03-03T23:07:29+00:00 Simon Guinot simon.guinot@sequanux.org 2015-09-09T22:15:18+00:00 f634ac98bd9218feb31868b43f56e7a5999ce98e commit 59ceeaaf355fa0fb16558ef7c24413c804932ada upstream. In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to be released. A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept. At wake-up this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region. A first problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for example the conflicting resource have already been freed). Another problem is that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a remaining conflict. The previously conflicting resource is passed as a parameter and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the children of this resource and not at the resource itself. It is likely to succeed anyway, even if there is still a conflict. Instead, the parent of the conflicting resource should be passed to __request_region().

cpuset: make mm migration asynchronous 2016-03-03T23:07:28+00:00 Tejun Heo tj@kernel.org 2016-01-19T17:18:41+00:00 fff4dc84e72419196623f118312f571a2e057196 commit e93ad19d05648397ef3bcb838d26aec06c245dc0 upstream. If "cpuset.memory_migrate" is set, when a process is moved from one cpuset to another with a different memory node mask, pages in used by the process are migrated to the new set of nodes. This was performed synchronously in the ->attach() callback, which is synchronized against process management. Recently, the synchronization was changed from per-process rwsem to global percpu rwsem for simplicity and optimization. Combined with the synchronous mm migration, this led to deadlocks because mm migration could schedule a work item which may in turn try to create a new worker blocking on the process management lock held from cgroup process migration path. This heavy an operation shouldn't be performed synchronously from that deep inside cgroup migration in the first place. This patch punts the actual migration to an ordered workqueue and updates cgroup process migration and cpuset config update paths to flush the workqueue after all locks are released.

workqueue: handle NUMA_NO_NODE for unbound pool_workqueue lookup 2016-03-03T23:07:27+00:00 Tejun Heo tj@kernel.org 2016-02-03T18:54:25+00:00 21b34b4574f8619907eb751b37c1831bfa3f2440 commit d6e022f1d207a161cd88e08ef0371554680ffc46 upstream. When looking up the pool_workqueue to use for an unbound workqueue, workqueue assumes that the target CPU is always bound to a valid NUMA node. However, currently, when a CPU goes offline, the mapping is destroyed and cpu_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE. This has always been broken but hasn't triggered often enough before 874bbfe600a6 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"). After the commit, workqueue forcifully assigns the local CPU for delayed work items without explicit target CPU to fix a different issue. This widens the window where CPU can go offline while a delayed work item is pending causing delayed work items dispatched with target CPU set to an already offlined CPU. The resulting NUMA_NO_NODE mapping makes workqueue try to queue the work item on a NULL pool_workqueue and thus crash. While 874bbfe600a6 has been reverted for a different reason making the bug less visible again, it can still happen. Fix it by mapping NUMA_NO_NODE to the default pool_workqueue from unbound_pwq_by_node(). This is a temporary workaround. The long term solution is keeping CPU -> NODE mapping stable across CPU off/online cycles which is being worked on.

When looking up the pool_workqueue to use for an unbound workqueue,
workqueue assumes that the target CPU is always bound to a valid NUMA
node.  However, currently, when a CPU goes offline, the mapping is
destroyed and cpu_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE.

This has always been broken but hasn't triggered often enough before
874bbfe600a6 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu").
After the commit, workqueue forcifully assigns the local CPU for
delayed work items without explicit target CPU to fix a different
issue.  This widens the window where CPU can go offline while a
delayed work item is pending causing delayed work items dispatched
with target CPU set to an already offlined CPU.  The resulting
NUMA_NO_NODE mapping makes workqueue try to queue the work item on a
NULL pool_workqueue and thus crash.

While 874bbfe600a6 has been reverted for a different reason making the
bug less visible again, it can still happen.  Fix it by mapping
NUMA_NO_NODE to the default pool_workqueue from unbound_pwq_by_node().
This is a temporary workaround.  The long term solution is keeping CPU
-> NODE mapping stable across CPU off/online cycles which is being
worked on.

tick/nohz: Set the correct expiry when switching to nohz/lowres mode 2016-03-03T23:07:26+00:00 Wanpeng Li kernellwp@gmail.com 2016-01-27T11:26:07+00:00 d024d46ec5203664fac872a20f7d75125db952da commit 1ca8ec532fc2d986f1f4a319857bb18e0c9739b4 upstream. commit 0ff53d096422 sets the next tick interrupt to the last jiffies update, i.e. in the past, because the forward operation is invoked before the set operation. There is no resulting damage (yet), but we get an extra pointless tick interrupt. Revert the order so we get the next tick interrupt in the future.

seccomp: always propagate NO_NEW_PRIVS on tsync 2016-03-03T23:07:25+00:00 Jann Horn jann@thejh.net 2015-12-26T05:00:48+00:00 df86161e4460cfd4ba504d5c5fd6ba218c75d4aa commit 103502a35cfce0710909da874f092cb44823ca03 upstream.
