Use the same digest type for the autogenerated key signature as for the module
signature so that the hash algorithm is guaranteed to be present in the kernel.
Without this, the X.509 certificate loader may reject the X.509 certificate so
generated because it was self-signed and the signature will be checked against
itself - but this won't work if the digest algorithm must be loaded as a
module.
The symptom is that the key fails to load with the following message emitted
into the kernel log:
MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-65)
the error in brackets being -ENOPKG. What you should see is something like:
MODSIGN: Loaded cert 'Magarathea: Glacier signing key: 9588321144239a119d3406d4c4cf1fbae1836fa0'
Note that this doesn't apply to certificates that are not self-signed as we
don't check those currently as they require the parent CA certificate to be
available.

Check the signature on the module against the keys compiled into the kernel or
available in a hardware key store.
Currently, only RSA keys are supported - though that's easy enough to change,
and the signature is expected to contain raw components (so not a PGP or
PKCS#7 formatted blob).
The signature blob is expected to consist of the following pieces in order:
(1) The binary identifier for the key. This is expected to match the
SubjectKeyIdentifier from an X.509 certificate. Only X.509 type
identifiers are currently supported.
(2) The signature data, consisting of a series of MPIs in which each is in
the format of a 2-byte BE word sizes followed by the content data.
(3) A 12 byte information block of the form:
struct module_signature {
enum pkey_algo algo : 8;
enum pkey_hash_algo hash : 8;
enum pkey_id_type id_type : 8;
u8 __pad;
__be32 id_length;
__be32 sig_length;
};
The three enums are defined in crypto/public_key.h.
'algo' contains the public-key algorithm identifier (0->DSA, 1->RSA).
'hash' contains the digest algorithm identifier (0->MD4, 1->MD5, 2->SHA1,
etc.).
'id_type' contains the public-key identifier type (0->PGP, 1->X.509).
'__pad' should be 0.
'id_length' should contain in the binary identifier length in BE form.
'sig_length' should contain in the signature data length in BE form.
The lengths are in BE order rather than CPU order to make dealing with
cross-compilation easier.

Include a PGP keyring containing the public keys required to perform module
verification in the kernel image during build and create a special keyring
during boot which is then populated with keys of crypto type holding the public
keys found in the PGP keyring.
These can be seen by root:
[root@andromeda ~]# cat /proc/keys
07ad4ee0 I----- 1 perm 3f010000 0 0 crypto modsign.0: RSA 87b9b3bd []
15c7f8c3 I----- 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .module_sign: 1/4
...
It is probably worth permitting root to invalidate these keys, resulting in
their removal and preventing further modules from being loaded with that key.

Automatically generate keys for module signing if they're absent so that
allyesconfig doesn't break. The builder should consider generating their own
key and certificate, however, so that the keys are appropriately named.
The private key for the module signer should be placed in signing_key.priv
(unencrypted!) and the public key in an X.509 certificate as signing_key.x509.
If a transient key is desired for signing the modules, a config file for
'openssl req' can be placed in x509.genkey, looking something like the
following:
[ req ]
default_bits = 4096
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
prompt = no
x509_extensions = myexts
[ req_distinguished_name ]
O = Magarathea
CN = Glacier signing key
emailAddress = slartibartfast@magrathea.h2g2
[ myexts ]
basicConstraints=critical,CA:FALSE
keyUsage=digitalSignature
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
authorityKeyIdentifier=hash
The build process will use this to configure:
openssl req -new -nodes -utf8 -sha1 -days 36500 -batch \
-x509 -config x509.genkey \
-outform DER -out signing_key.x509 \
-keyout signing_key.priv
to generate the key.
Note that it is required that the X.509 certificate have a subjectKeyIdentifier
and an authorityKeyIdentifier. Without those, the certificate will be
rejected. These can be used to check the validity of a certificate.
Note that 'make distclean' will remove signing_key.{priv,x509} and x509.genkey,
whether or not they were generated automatically.

We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
(which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway). There's both a config
option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.
If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
key.

The original module-init-tools module loader used a fnctl lock on the
.ko file to avoid attempts to simultaneously load a module.
Unfortunately, you can't get an exclusive fcntl lock on a read-only
fd, making this not work for read-only mounted filesystems.
module-init-tools has a hacky sleep-and-loop for this now.
It's not that hard to wait in the kernel, and only return -EEXIST once
the first module has finished loading (or continue loading the module
if the first one failed to initialize for some reason). It's also
consistent with what we do for dependent modules which are still loading.

We use resolve_symbol_wait(), which blocks if the module containing
the symbol is still loading. However:
1) The module_wq we use is only woken after calling the modules' init
function, but there are other failure paths after the module is
placed in the linked list where we need to do the same thing.
2) wake_up() only wakes one waiter, and our waitqueue is shared by all
modules, so we need to wake them all.
3) wake_up_all() doesn't imply a memory barrier: I feel happier calling
it after we've grabbed and dropped the module_mutex, not just after
the state assignment.

Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
(*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
mod_arch_specific struct.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes
the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes
the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.
With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

Pull another workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
"Unfortunately, yet another late fix. This too is discovered and fixed
by Lai. This bug was introduced during this merge window by commit
25511a477657 ("workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle
idle workers") which started using WORKER_REBIND flag for idle rebind
too.
The bug is relatively easy to trigger if the CPU rapidly goes through
off, on and then off (and stay off). The fix is on the safer side.
This hasn't been on linux-next yet but I'm pushing early so that it
can get more exposure before v3.6 release."

workqueue: always clear WORKER_REBIND in busy_worker_rebind_fn()

busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed
(CPU is down again). This used to be okay because the flag wasn't
used for anything else.
However, after 25511a477 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding
to handle idle workers", WORKER_REBIND is also used to command idle
workers to rebind. If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next
CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by
prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().

The kernel doesn't check the pid for negative values, so if you try to
write -2 to /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid, you will get a kernel panic.
The crash happens because the next pid is -1, and alloc_pidmap() will
try to access to a nonexistent pidmap.

perturbations"
This reverts commit 970e178985cadbca660feb02f4d2ee3a09f7fdda.
Nikolay Ulyanitsky reported thatthe 3.6-rc5 kernel has a 15-20%
performance drop on PostgreSQL 9.2 on his machine (running "pgbench").
Borislav Petkov was able to reproduce this, and bisected it to this
commit 970e178985ca ("sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies' ...")
apparently because the new single-idle-buddy model simply doesn't find
idle CPU's to reschedule on aggressively enough.
Mike Galbraith suspects that it is likely due to the user-mode spinlocks
in PostgreSQL not reacting well to preemption, but we don't really know
the details - I'll just revert the commit for now.
There are hopefully other approaches to improve scheduler scalability
without it causing these kinds of downsides.

There are three bug fixes. One from before 3.6-rc1 and two from the

providing fixes.
* Atomicity bug when clearing a flag and setting another. The two
operation should have been atomic but wasn't. This bug has existed
for a long time but is unlikely to have actually happened. Fix is
safe. Marked for -stable.
* If CPU hotplug cycles happen back-to-back before workers finish the
previous cycle, the states could get out of sync and it could get
stuck. Fixed by waiting for workers to complete before finishing
hotplug cycle.
* While CPU hotplug is in progress, idle workers could be depleted
which can then lead to deadlock. I think both happening together
is highly unlikely but still better to fix it and the fix isn't too
scary.

To simplify both normal and CPU hotplug paths, worker management is
prevented while CPU hoplug is in progress. This is achieved by CPU
hotplug holding the same exclusion mechanism used by workers to ensure
there's only one manager per pool.
If someone else seems to be performing the manager role, workers
proceed to execute work items. CPU hotplug using the same mechanism
can lead to idle worker depletion because all workers could proceed to
execute work items while CPU hotplug is in progress and CPU hotplug
itself wouldn't actually perform the worker management duty - it
doesn't guarantee that there's an idle worker left when it releases
management.
This idle worker depletion, under extreme circumstances, can break
forward-progress guarantee and thus lead to deadlock.
This patch fixes the bug by using separate mechanisms for manager
exclusion among workers and hotplug exclusion. For manager exclusion,
POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was restored by the previous patch is
used. pool->manager_mutex is now only used for exclusion between the
elected manager and CPU hotplug. The elected manager won't proceed
without holding pool->manager_mutex.
This ensures that the worker which won the manager position can't skip
managing while CPU hotplug is in progress. It will block on
manager_mutex and perform management after CPU hotplug is complete.
Note that hotplug may happen while waiting for manager_mutex. A
manager isn't either on idle or busy list and thus the hoplug code
can't unbind/rebind it. Make the manager handle its own un/rebinding.

This patch restores POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was replaced by
pool->manager_mutex by 6037315269 "workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq
manager exclusion".
There's a subtle idle worker depletion bug across CPU hotplug events
and we need to distinguish an actual manager and CPU hotplug
preventing management. POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS will be used for the
former and manager_mutex the later.
This patch just lays POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS on top of the existing
manager_mutex and doesn't introduce any synchronization changes. The
next patch will update it.
Note that this patch fixes a non-critical anomaly where
too_many_workers() may return %true spuriously while CPU hotplug is in
progress. While the issue could schedule idle timer spuriously, it
didn't trigger any actual misbehavior.

Currently, rebind_workers() and idle_worker_rebind() are two-way
interlocked. rebind_workers() waits for idle workers to finish
rebinding and rebound idle workers wait for rebind_workers() to finish
rebinding busy workers before proceeding.
Unfortunately, this isn't enough. The second wait from idle workers
is implemented as follows.
wait_event(gcwq->rebind_hold, !(worker->flags & WORKER_REBIND));
rebind_workers() clears WORKER_REBIND, wakes up the idle workers and
then returns. If CPU hotplug cycle happens again before one of the
idle workers finishes the above wait_event(), rebind_workers() will
repeat the first part of the handshake - set WORKER_REBIND again and
wait for the idle worker to finish rebinding - and this leads to
deadlock because the idle worker would be waiting for WORKER_REBIND to
clear.
This is fixed by adding another interlocking step at the end -
rebind_workers() now waits for all the idle workers to finish the
above WORKER_REBIND wait before returning. This ensures that all
rebinding steps are complete on all idle workers before the next
hotplug cycle can happen.
This problem was diagnosed by Lai Jiangshan who also posted a patch to
fix the issue, upon which this patch is based.
This is the minimal fix and further patches are scheduled for the next
merge window to simplify the CPU hotplug path.

The compiler may compile the following code into TWO write/modify
instructions.
worker->flags &= ~WORKER_UNBOUND;
worker->flags |= WORKER_REBIND;
so the other CPU may temporarily see worker->flags which doesn't have
either WORKER_UNBOUND or WORKER_REBIND set and perform local wakeup
prematurely.
Fix it by using single explicit assignment via ACCESS_ONCE().
Because idle workers have another WORKER_NOT_RUNNING flag, this bug
doesn't exist for them; however, update it to use the same pattern for
consistency.

Don't mess with file refcounts (or keep a reference to file, for
that matter) in perf_event. Use explicit refcount of its own
instead. Deal with the race between the final reference to event
going away and new children getting created for it by use of
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() in inherit_event(); just have the
latter free what it had allocated and return NULL, that works
out just fine (children of siblings of something doomed are
created as singletons, same as if the child of leader had been
created and immediately killed).

migrate_tasks() uses _pick_next_task_rt() to get tasks from the
real-time runqueues to be migrated. When rt_rq is throttled
_pick_next_task_rt() won't return anything, in which case
migrate_tasks() can't move all threads over and gets stuck in an
infinite loop.
Instead unthrottle rt runqueues before migrating tasks.
Additionally: move unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() to rq_offline_fair()

Azat Khuzhin reported high loadavg in Linux v3.6
After checking the upstream scheduler code, I found Peter's commit:
5167e8d5417b sched/nohz: Rewrite and fix load-avg computation -- again
not fully applied, missing the call to calc_load_exit_idle().
After that idle exit in sampling window will always be calculated
to non-idle, and the load will be higher than normal.
This patch adds the missing call to calc_load_exit_idle().

Rabik and Paul reported two different issues related to the same few
lines of code.
Rabik's issue is that the nr_uninterruptible migration code is wrong in
that he sees artifacts due to this (Rabik please do expand in more
detail).
Paul's issue is that this code as it stands relies on us using
stop_machine() for unplug, we all would like to remove this assumption
so that eventually we can remove this stop_machine() usage altogether.
The only reason we'd have to migrate nr_uninterruptible is so that we
could use for_each_online_cpu() loops in favour of
for_each_possible_cpu() loops, however since nr_uninterruptible() is the
only such loop and its using possible lets not bother at all.
The problem Rabik sees is (probably) caused by the fact that by
migrating nr_uninterruptible we screw rq->calc_load_active for both rqs
involved.
So don't bother with fancy migration schemes (meaning we now have to
keep using for_each_possible_cpu()) and instead fold any nr_active delta
after we migrate all tasks away to make sure we don't have any skewed
nr_active accounting.

Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to
timespec_valid in commit 4e8b14526ca7 ("time: Improve sanity checking of
timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused
timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid.
Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would
never expire, which is valid.
This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new
timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes
internal checking to use this more strict function.

Andreas Schwab noticed that the 1 << tk->shift could overflow if the
shift value was greater than 30, since 1 would be a 32bit long on
32bit architectures. This issue was introduced by 1e75fa8be (time:
Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec)
Use 1ULL instead to ensure we don't overflow on the shift.

This patch fixes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843640
If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path
does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma
from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how
William noticed this bug.
Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in
fact it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until
at least we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from
install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register().
For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the
probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register()
succeeds if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail
in this case.
dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason,
fork() can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if
it wins the race and does install_breakpoint() first.
And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return
success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error
code from uprobe_mmap().

Unexpected behavior could occur if the time is set to a value large
enough to overflow a 64bit ktime_t (which is something larger then the
year 2262).
Also unexpected behavior could occur if large negative offsets are
injected via adjtimex.
So this patch improves the sanity check timekeeping inputs by
improving the timespec_valid() check, and then makes better use of
timespec_valid() to make sure we don't set the time to an invalid
negative value or one that overflows ktime_t.
Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to overflowing
ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation cause the overflow.

Drop the initial reference by fsnotify_init_mark early instead of
audit_tree_freeing_mark() at destroy time.
In the cases we destroy the mark before we drop the initial reference we need to
get rid of the get_mark that balances the put_mark in audit_tree_freeing_mark().

Refcounting of fsnotify_mark in audit tree is broken. E.g:
refcount
create_chunk
alloc_chunk 1
fsnotify_add_mark 2
untag_chunk
fsnotify_get_mark 3
fsnotify_destroy_mark
audit_tree_freeing_mark 2
fsnotify_put_mark 1
fsnotify_put_mark 0
via destroy_list
fsnotify_mark_destroy -1
This was reported by various people as triggering Oops when stopping auditd.
We could just remove the put_mark from audit_tree_freeing_mark() but that would
break freeing via inode destruction. So this patch simply omits a put_mark
after calling destroy_mark or adds a get_mark before.
The additional get_mark is necessary where there's no other put_mark after
fsnotify_destroy_mark() since it assumes that the caller is holding a reference
(or the inode is keeping the mark pinned, not the case here AFAICS).

leading to the below due to use of unmaintained ->se.exec_start. The
load that triggered this particular instance was an apparently out of
control heavily threaded application that does system monitoring in
