995b9ea440 sched/deadline: Remove useless dl_nr_total
In deadline class we do not have group scheduling like in RT.

dl_nr_total is the same as dl_nr_running. So, one of them should
be removed.

82b95800b2 sched/deadline: Test for CPU's presence explicitly
A hot-removed CPU may have ID that is numerically larger than the number of
existing CPUs in the system (e.g. we can unplug CPU 4 from a system that
has CPUs 0, 1 and 4).

Thus the WARN_ONs should check whether the CPU in question is currently
present, not whether its ID value is less than num_present_cpus().

4efbc454ba sched: Fix information leak in sys_sched_getattr()
We're copying the on-stack structure to userspace, but forgot to give
the right number of bytes to copy. This allows the calling process to
obtain up to PAGE_SIZE bytes from the stack (and possibly adjacent
kernel memory).

This fix copies only as much as we actually have on the stack
(attr->size defaults to the size of the struct) and leaves the rest of
the userspace-provided buffer untouched.

Found using kmemcheck + trinity.

4df1638cfa sched/deadline: Fix overflow to handle period==0 and deadline!=0
While debugging the crash with the bad nr_running accounting, I hit
another bug where, after running my sched deadline test, I was getting
failures to take a CPU offline. It was giving me a -EBUSY error.

Adding a bunch of trace_printk()s around, I found that the cpu
notifier that called sched_cpu_inactive() was returning a failure. The
overflow value was coming up negative?

Talking this over with Juri, the problem is that the total_bw update was
suppose to be made by dl_overflow() which, during my tests, seemed to
not be called. Adding more trace_printk()s, it wasn't that it wasn't
called, but it exited out right away with the check of new_bw being
equal to p->dl.dl_bw. The new_bw calculates the ratio between period and
runtime. The bug is that if you set a deadline, you do not need to set
a period if you plan on the period being equal to the deadline. That
is, if period is zero and deadline is not, then the system call should
set the period to be equal to the deadline. This is done elsewhere in
the code.

The fix is easy, check if period is set, and if it is not, then use the
deadline.

3d5f35bdfd sched/deadline: Fix bad accounting of nr_running
Rostedt writes:

My test suite was locking up hard when enabling mmiotracer. This was due
to the mmiotracer placing all but one CPU offline. I found this out
when I was able to reproduce the bug with just my stress-cpu-hotplug
test. This bug baffled me because it would not always trigger, and
would only trigger on the first run after boot up. The
stress-cpu-hotplug test would crash hard the first run, or never crash
at all. But a new reboot may cause it to crash on the first run again.

I spent all week bisecting this, as I couldn't find a consistent
reproducer. I finally narrowed it down to the sched deadline patches,
and even more peculiar, to the commit that added the sched
deadline boot up self test to the latency tracer. Then it dawned on me
to what the bug was.

All it took was to run a task under sched deadline to screw up the CPU
hot plugging. This explained why it would lock up only on the first run
of the stress-cpu-hotplug test. The bug happened when the boot up self
test of the schedule latency tracer would test a deadline task. The
deadline task would corrupt something that would cause CPU hotplug to
fail. If it didn't corrupt it, the stress test would always work
(there's no other sched deadline tasks that would run to cause
problems). If it did corrupt on boot up, the first test would lockup
hard.

I proved this theory by running my deadline test program on another box,
and then run the stress-cpu-hotplug test, and it would now consistently
lock up. I could run stress-cpu-hotplug over and over with no problem,
but once I ran the deadline test, the next run of the
stress-cpu-hotplug would lock hard.

After adding lots of tracing to the code, I found the cause. The
function tracer showed that migrate_tasks() was stuck in an infinite
loop, where rq->nr_running never equaled 1 to break out of it. When I
added a trace_printk() to see what that number was, it was 335 and
never decrementing!

Looking at the deadline code I found:

static void __dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
	dequeue_dl_entity(&p->dl);
	dequeue_pushable_dl_task(rq, p);
}

static void dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
	update_curr_dl(rq);
	__dequeue_task_dl(rq, p, flags);

	dec_nr_running(rq);
}

And this:

	if (dl_runtime_exceeded(rq, dl_se)) {
		__dequeue_task_dl(rq, curr, 0);
		if (likely(start_dl_timer(dl_se, curr->dl.dl_boosted)))
			dl_se->dl_throttled = 1;
		else
			enqueue_task_dl(rq, curr, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);

		if (!is_leftmost(curr, &rq->dl))
			resched_task(curr);
	}

Notice how we call __dequeue_task_dl() and in the else case we
call enqueue_task_dl()? Also notice that dequeue_task_dl() has
underscores where enqueue_task_dl() does not. The enqueue_task_dl()
calls inc_nr_running(rq), but __dequeue_task_dl() does not. This is
where we get nr_running out of sync.

[snip]

Another point where nr_running can get out of sync is when the dl_timer
fires:

	dl_se->dl_throttled = 0;
	if (p->on_rq) {
		enqueue_task_dl(rq, p, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
		if (task_has_dl_policy(rq->curr))
			check_preempt_curr_dl(rq, p, 0);
		else
			resched_task(rq->curr);

This patch does two things:

 - correctly accounts for throttled tasks (that are now considered
   !running);

 - fixes the bug, updating nr_running from {inc,dec}_dl_tasks(),
   since we risk to update it twice in some situations (e.g., a
   task is dequeued while it has exceeded its budget).

5ae8aabeae sched_clock: Prevent callers from seeing half-updated data
The generic sched_clock registration function was previously
done lockless, due to the fact that it was expected to be called
only once. However, now there are systems that may register
multiple sched_clock sources, for which the lack of locking has
casued problems:

If two sched_clock sources are registered we may end up in a
situation where a call to sched_clock() may be accessing the
epoch cycle count for the old counter and the cycle count for the
new counter. This can lead to confusing results where
sched_clock() values jump and then are reset to 0 (due to the way
the registration function forces the epoch_ns to be 0).

Fix this by reorganizing the registration function to hold the
seqlock for as short a time as possible while we update the
clock_data structure for a new counter. We also put any
accumulated time into epoch_ns instead of resetting the time to
0 so that the clock doesn't reset after each successful
registration.

532de3fc72 cgroup: update cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() to grab siglock
Currently, there's nothing preventing cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists()
from missing set PF_EXITING and race against cgroup_exit().  Depending
on the timing, cgroup_exit() may finish with the task still linked on
css_set leading to list corruption.  Fix it by grabbing siglock in
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() so that PF_EXITING is guaranteed to be
visible.

This whole on-demand cg_list optimization is extremely fragile and has
ample possibility to lead to bugs which can cause things like
once-a-year oops during boot.  I'm wondering whether the better
approach would be just adding "cgroup_disable=all" handling which
disables the whole cgroup rather than tempting fate with this
on-demand craziness.

5bdfff96c6 workqueue: ensure @task is valid across kthread_stop()
When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE
flag instead of kthread_should_stop().  This, IIRC, is primarily to
keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock.  WORKER_DIE is
first set while holding pool->lock, the lock is dropped and
kthread_stop() is called.

Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target
kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits
and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop().

Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and
putting it after kthread_stop() is done.

tj: Improved patch description and comment.  Moved pinning above
    WORKER_DIE for better signify what it's protecting.

e4178d809f printk: fix syslog() overflowing user buffer
This is not a buffer overflow in the traditional sense: we don't
overflow any *kernel* buffers, but we do mis-count the amount of data we
copy back to user space for the SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL case.

In particular, if the user buffer is too small to hold everything, and
*if* there is a continuation line at just the right place, we can end up
giving the user more data than he asked for.

The reason is that we first count up the number of bytes all the log
records contains, then we walk the records again until we've skipped the
records at the beginning that won't fit, and then we walk the rest of
the records and copy them to the user space buffer.

And in between that "skip the initial records that won't fit" and the
"copy the records that *will* fit to user space", we reset the 'prev'
variable that contained the record information for the last record not
copied.  That meant that when we started copying to user space, we now
had a different character count than what we had originally calculated
in the first record walk-through.

The fix is to simply not clear the 'prev' flags value (in both cases
where we had the same logic: syslog_print_all and kmsg_dump_get_buffer:
the latter is used for pstore-like dumping)

dd5fd9b91a tick: Clear broadcast pending bit when switching to oneshot
AMD systems which use the C1E workaround in the amd_e400_idle routine
trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in the broadcast code when onlining a CPU.

The reason is that the idle routine of those AMD systems switches the
cpu into forced broadcast mode early on before the newly brought up
CPU can switch over to high resolution / NOHZ mode. The timer related
CPU1 bringup looks like this:

  clockevent_register_device(local_apic);
  tick_setup(local_apic);
  ...
  idle()
	tick_broadcast_on_off(FORCE);
	tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
	  cpumask_set(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
	halt();

Now the broadcast interrupt on CPU0 sets CPU1 in the
broadcast_pending_mask and wakes CPU1. So CPU1 continues:

	local_apic_timer_interrupt()
	   tick_handle_periodic();
	   softirq()
	     tick_init_highres();
	       cpumask_clr(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
	
	tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
	   WARN_ON(cpumask_test(cpu, broadcast_pending_mask);

So while we remove CPU1 from the broadcast_oneshot_mask when we switch
over to highres mode, we do not clear the pending bit, which then
triggers the warning when we go back to idle.

The reason why this is only visible on C1E affected AMD systems is
that the other machines enter the deep sleep states via
acpi_idle/intel_idle and exit the broadcast mode before executing the
remote triggered local_apic_timer_interrupt. So the pending bit is
already cleared when the switch over to highres mode is clearing the
oneshot mask.

The solution is simple: Clear the pending bit together with the mask
bit when we switch over to highres mode.

1a11533fbd Revert "cgroup: use an ordered workqueue for cgroup destruction"
This reverts commit ab3f5faa62.
Explanation from Hugh:

  It's because more thorough testing, by others here, found that it
  wasn't always solving the problem: so I asked Tejun privately to
  hold off from sending it in, until we'd worked out why not.

  Most of our testing being on a v3,11-based kernel, it was perfectly
  possible that the problem was merely our own e.g. missing Tejun's
  8a2b753844 ("workqueue: fix ordered workqueues in NUMA setups").

  But that turned out not to be enough to fix it either. Then Filipe
  pointed out how percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() uses call_rcu_sched()
  before we ever get to put the offline on to the workqueue: by the
  time we get to the workqueue, the ordering has already been lost.

  So, thanks for the Acks, but I'm afraid that this ordered workqueue
  solution is just not good enough: we should simply forget that patch
  and provide a different answer."

d651aa1d68 ring-buffer: Fix first commit on sub-buffer having non-zero delta
Each sub-buffer (buffer page) has a full 64 bit timestamp. The events on
that page use a 27 bit delta against that timestamp in order to save on
bits written to the ring buffer. If the time between events is larger than
what the 27 bits can hold, a "time extend" event is added to hold the
entire 64 bit timestamp again and the events after that hold a delta from
that timestamp.

As a "time extend" is always paired with an event, it is logical to just
allocate the event with the time extend, to make things a bit more efficient.

Unfortunately, when the pairing code was written, it removed the "delta = 0"
from the first commit on a page, causing the events on the page to be
slightly skewed.

Fixes: 69d1b839f7 "ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together"

  # mkdir /cgroup/sub1
  # mkdir /cgroup/sub2

Then run these two commands:
  # for ((; ;)) { mkdir /cgroup/sub1/tmp && rmdir /mnt/sub1/tmp; } &
  # for ((; ;)) { mkdir /cgroup/sub2/tmp && rmdir /mnt/sub2/tmp; } &

After seconds you may see this warning:

It's because allocating/removing cgroup ID is not properly synchronized.

The bug was introduced when we converted cgroup_ida to cgroup_idr.
While synchronization is already done inside ida_simple_{get,remove}(),
users are responsible for concurrent calls to idr_{alloc,remove}().

This happens because commit 3911ff30f5 ("genirq: export

there were actually two instances of it, in an if/else clause for
CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ.  Add the second one.

48573a8933 cgroup: fix locking in cgroup_cfts_commit()
cgroup_cfts_commit() walks the cgroup hierarchy that the target
subsystem is attached to and tries to apply the file changes.  Due to
the convolution with inode locking, it can't keep cgroup_mutex locked
while iterating.  It currently holds only RCU read lock around the
actual iteration and then pins the found cgroup using dget().

Unfortunately, this is incorrect.  Although the iteration does check
cgroup_is_dead() before invoking dget(), there's nothing which
prevents the dentry from going away inbetween.  Note that this is
different from the usual css iterations where css_tryget() is used to
pin the css - css_tryget() tests whether the css can be pinned and
fails if not.

The problem can be solved by simply holding cgroup_mutex instead of
RCU read lock around the iteration, which actually reduces LOC.

ab3f5faa62 cgroup: use an ordered workqueue for cgroup destruction
Sometimes the cleanup after memcg hierarchy testing gets stuck in
mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(), unable to bring non-kmem usage down to 0.

There may turn out to be several causes, but a major cause is this: the
workitem to offline parent can get run before workitem to offline child;
parent's mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() circles around waiting for the
child's pages to be reparented to its lrus, but it's holding cgroup_mutex
which prevents the child from reaching its mem_cgroup_reparent_charges().

Just use an ordered workqueue for cgroup_destroy_wq.

tj: Committing as the temporary fix until the reverse dependency can
    be removed from memcg.  Comment updated accordingly.

When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the

c4ad8f98be execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passing
This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
filename', and to free it when it is done.  This is what the normal
users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.

The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.

To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
"getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.

As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
setup_new_exec().  That would be a separate cleanup.

2e702b9f6c softirq: use ffs() in __do_softirq()
Possible speed improvement of __do_softirq() by using ffs() instead of
using a while loop with an & 1 test then single bit shift.

a19428e5c3 kernel/kexec.c: use vscnprintf() instead of vsnprintf() in vmcoreinfo_append_str()
vsnprintf() may let 'r' larger than sizeof(buf), in this case, if 'r' is
also less than "vmcoreinfo_max_size - vmcoreinfo_size" (left size of
destination buffer), next memcpy() will read the unexpected addresses.

ba635f8cd2 The first two patches fix the debugfs README file to reflect better
the new features added to 3.14.
 
 The third patch is a minor bugfix to the trace_puts() functions that
 will crash the system if a developer adds one before the tracing system
 is setup. It also affects trace_printk() if it has no arguments, as
 the code will convert it to a trace_puts() as well. Note, this bug
 will not affect unmodified kernels, as trace_printk() and trace_puts()
 should only be used by developers for testing.

270750dbc1 hung_task: Display every hung task warning
When khungtaskd detects hung tasks, it prints out
backtraces from a number of those tasks.

Limiting the number of backtraces being printed
out can result in the user not seeing the information
necessary to debug the issue. The hung_task_warnings
sysctl controls this feature.

This patch makes it possible for hung_task_warnings
to accept a special value to print an unlimited
number of backtraces when khungtaskd detects hung
tasks.

The special value is -1. To use this value it is
necessary to change types from ulong to int.
