* | | flex_array: introduce DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAYDavid Rientjes2009-09-221-26/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FLEX_ARRAY_INIT(element_size, total_nr_elements) cannot determine if either parameter is valid, so flex arrays which are statically allocated with this interface can easily become corrupted or reference beyond its allocated memory. This removes FLEX_ARRAY_INIT() as a struct flex_array initializer since no initializer may perform the required checking. Instead, the array is now defined with a new interface: DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total_nr_elements) This may be prefixed with `static' for file scope. This interface includes compile-time checking of the parameters to ensure they are valid. Since the validity of both element_size and total_nr_elements depend on FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_SIZE and FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE, the kernel build will fail if either of these predefined values changes such that the array parameters are no longer valid. Since BUILD_BUG_ON() requires compile time constants, several of the static inline functions that were once local to lib/flex_array.c had to be moved to include/linux/flex_array.h.

* | | flex_array: add flex_array_shrink functionDavid Rientjes2009-09-221-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new function to the flex_array API: int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa) This function will free all unused second-level pages. Since elements are now poisoned if they are not allocated with __GFP_ZERO, it's possible to identify parts that consist solely of unused elements. flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.

* | | flex_array: poison free elementsDavid Rientjes2009-09-221-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Newly initialized flex_array's and/or flex_array_part's are now poisoned with a new poison value, FLEX_ARRAY_FREE. It's value is similar to POISON_FREE used in the various slab allocators, but is different to distinguish between flex array's poisoned kmem and slab allocator poisoned kmem. This will allow us to identify flex_array_part's that only contain free elements (and free them with an addition to the flex_array API). This could also be extended in the future to identify `get' uses on elements that have not been `put'. If __GFP_ZERO is passed for a part's gfp mask, the poisoning is avoided. These elements are considered to be in-use since they have been initialized.

* | | flex_array: add flex_array_clear functionDavid Rientjes2009-09-221-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new function to the flex_array API: int flex_array_clear(struct flex_array *fa, unsigned int element_nr) This function will zero the element at element_nr in the flex_array. Although this is equivalent to using flex_array_put() and passing a pointer to zero'd memory, flex_array_clear() does not require such a pointer to memory that would most likely need to be allocated on the caller's stack which could be significantly large depending on element_size.

* | vsprintf: add %ps that is the same as %pS but is like %pfSteven Rostedt2009-09-171-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions, but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function itself. mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf instead. %pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f %pf produces just run_local_timers For PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have %pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f This patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.

This patch implements weak percpu definitions which arch can enable by defining ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in arch percpu header file. This weak definition adds the following two restrictions on percpu variable definitions. 1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not 2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function To ensure that these restrictions are observed in generic code, config option DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU enables weak percpu definitions for all cases. This patch is inspired by Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

The logic around this is somewhat weird in the case of bidirectional transfers. It appears to want to throw both in succession, but since its a panic only the first makes it. This patch adds a third, separate error for DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL to make things a bit clearer.

The additional code keeps track of the number of pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes all references, not just those from task_structs). Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid. This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the credential struct has been previously released): http://www.kerneloops.org/oops.php?number=252883 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

That is why we take mm->mmap_sem for writing to make sure a thread/task with the same ->mm can't pass exit_mm() and disappear. However we can avoid ->mmap_sem and rely on rcu/barriers: - if we do not see the exiting parent on thread/process list we see the result of list_del_rcu(), in this case we must also see the result of list_add_rcu() which does wmb(). - if we do see the parent but its ->mm == NULL, we need rmb() to make sure we can't miss the child.

I think this helper should be renamed, and it should not have arguments. With or without this patch it must not be used unless p == current, otherwise we can't safely use p->signal or p->mm. - "if (atomic_read(&p->signal->count) != 1)" is not right when we have a zombie group leader, use signal->live instead. - Add PF_KTHREAD check to skip kernel threads which may borrow p->mm, otherwise we can return the wrong "false". - Use for_each_process() instead of do_each_thread(), all threads must use the same ->mm. - Use down_write(mm->mmap_sem) + rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock to iterate over the process list. If there is another CLONE_VM process it can't pass exit_mm() which takes the same mm->mmap_sem. We can miss a freshly forked CLONE_VM task, but this doesn't matter because we must see its parent and return false.

The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max array size based on element_size need not be changed.

This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used. Otherwise, fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts structures needed and such element may never have been put. Thus, it will remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base. Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all elements do not fit in the base structure. This is otherwise unnecessary since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already hit a NULL pointer).
