At this point, tracehooks aren't useful to mainline kernel and mostly
just add an extra layer of obfuscation. Although they have comments,
without actual in-kernel users, it is difficult to tell what are their
assumptions and they're actually trying to achieve. To mainline
kernel, they just aren't worth keeping around.
This patch kills the following trivial tracehooks.
* Ones testing whether task is ptraced. Replace with ->ptrace test.
tracehook_expect_breakpoints()
tracehook_consider_ignored_signal()
tracehook_consider_fatal_signal()
* ptrace_event() wrappers. Call directly.
tracehook_report_exec()
tracehook_report_exit()
tracehook_report_vfork_done()
* ptrace_release_task() wrapper. Call directly.
tracehook_finish_release_task()
* noop
tracehook_prepare_release_task()
tracehook_report_death()
This doesn't introduce any behavior change.

The previous patch implemented async notification for ptrace but it
only worked while trace is running. This patch introduces
PTRACE_LISTEN which is suggested by Oleg Nestrov.
It's allowed iff tracee is in STOP trap and puts tracee into
quasi-running state - tracee never really runs but wait(2) and
ptrace(2) consider it to be running. While ptracer is listening,
tracee is allowed to re-enter STOP to notify an async event.
Listening state is cleared on the first notification. Ptracer can
also clear it by issuing INTERRUPT - tracee will re-trap into STOP
with listening state cleared.
This allows ptracer to monitor group stop state without running tracee
- use INTERRUPT to put tracee into STOP trap, issue LISTEN and then
wait(2) to wait for the next group stop event. When it happens,
PTRACE_GETSIGINFO provides information to determine the current state.
Test program follows.
#define PTRACE_SEIZE 0x4206
#define PTRACE_INTERRUPT 0x4207
#define PTRACE_LISTEN 0x4208
#define PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL 0x80000000
static const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 };
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pid_t tracee, tracer;
int i;
tracee = fork();
if (!tracee)
while (1)
pause();
tracer = fork();
if (!tracer) {
siginfo_t si;
ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, tracee, NULL,
(void *)(unsigned long)PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL);
ptrace(PTRACE_INTERRUPT, tracee, NULL, NULL);
repeat:
waitid(P_PID, tracee, NULL, WSTOPPED);
ptrace(PTRACE_GETSIGINFO, tracee, NULL, &si);
if (!si.si_code) {
printf("tracer: SIG %d\n", si.si_signo);
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL,
(void *)(unsigned long)si.si_signo);
goto repeat;
}
printf("tracer: stopped=%d signo=%d\n",
si.si_signo != SIGTRAP, si.si_signo);
if (si.si_signo != SIGTRAP)
ptrace(PTRACE_LISTEN, tracee, NULL, NULL);
else
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, NULL);
goto repeat;
}
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
printf("mother: SIGSTOP\n");
kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);
nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
printf("mother: SIGCONT\n");
kill(tracee, SIGCONT);
}
nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
kill(tracer, SIGKILL);
kill(tracee, SIGKILL);
return 0;
}
This is identical to the program to test TRAP_NOTIFY except that
tracee is PTRACE_LISTEN'd instead of PTRACE_CONT'd when group stopped.
This allows ptracer to monitor when group stop ends without running
tracee.

wait_task_stopped() tested task_stopped_code() without acquiring
siglock and, if stop condition existed, called wait_task_stopped() and
directly returned the result. This patch moves the initial
task_stopped_code() testing into wait_task_stopped() and make
wait_consider_task() fall through to wait_task_continue() on 0 return.
This is for the following two reasons.
* Because the initial task_stopped_code() test is done without
acquiring siglock, it may race against SIGCONT generation. The
stopped condition might have been replaced by continued state by the
time wait_task_stopped() acquired siglock. This may lead to
unexpected failure of WNOHANG waits.
This reorganization addresses this single race case but there are
other cases - TASK_RUNNING -> TASK_STOPPED transition and EXIT_*
transitions.
* Scheduled ptrace updates require changes to the initial test which
would fit better inside wait_task_stopped().

When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer
may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and
get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed
and thus its breakpoints released.
This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle
of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing
a freed pointer.
Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference
holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is
held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference
is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's
breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

Currently a real parent can't access job control stopped/continued
events through a ptraced child. This utterly breaks job control when
the children are ptraced.
For example, if a program is run from an interactive shell and then
strace(1) attaches to it, pressing ^Z would send SIGTSTP and strace(1)
would notice it but the shell has no way to tell whether the child
entered job control stop and thus can't tell when to take over the
terminal - leading to awkward lone ^Z on the terminal.
Because the job control and ptrace stopped states are independent,
there is no reason to prevent real parents from accessing the stopped
state regardless of ptrace. The continued state isn't separate but
ptracers don't have any use for them as ptracees can never resume
without explicit command from their ptracers, so as long as ptracers
don't consume it, it should be fine.
Although this is a behavior change, because the previous behavior is
utterly broken when viewed from real parents and the change is only
visible to real parents, I don't think it's necessary to make this
behavior optional.
One situation to be careful about is when a task from the real
parent's group is ptracing. The parent group is the recipient of both
ptrace and job control stop events and one stop can be reported as
both job control and ptrace stops. As this can break the current
ptrace users, suppress job control stopped events for these cases.
If a real parent ptracer wants to know about both job control and
ptrace stops, it can create a separate process to serve the role of
real parent.
Note that this only updates wait(2) side of things. The real parent
can access the states via wait(2) but still is not properly notified
(woken up and delivered signal). Test case polls wait(2) with WNOHANG
to work around. Notification will be updated by future patches.
Test case follows.

wait(2) and friends allow access to stopped/continued states through
zombies, which is required as the states are process-wide and should
be accessible whether the leader task is alive or undead.
wait_consider_task() implements this by always clearing notask_error
and going through wait_task_stopped/continued() for unreaped zombies.
However, while ptraced, the stopped state is per-task and as such if
the ptracee became a zombie, there's no further stopped event to
listen to and wait(2) and friends should return -ECHILD on the tracee.
Fix it by clearing notask_error only if WCONTINUED | WEXITED is set
for ptraced zombies. While at it, document why clearing notask_error
is safe for each case.

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.
The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.
The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.

However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read()

segment prefixes). Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var

If a user manages to trigger an oops with fs set to KERNEL_DS, fs is not
otherwise reset before do_exit(). do_exit may later (via mm_release in
fork.c) do a put_user to a user-controlled address, potentially allowing
a user to leverage an oops into a controlled write into kernel memory.
This is only triggerable in the presence of another bug, but this
potentially turns a lot of DoS bugs into privilege escalations, so it's
worth fixing. I have proof-of-concept code which uses this bug along
with CVE-2010-3849 to write a zero to an arbitrary kernel address, so
I've tested that this is not theoretical.
A more logical place to put this fix might be when we know an oops has
occurred, before we call do_exit(), but that would involve changing
every architecture, in multiple places.
Let's just stick it in do_exit instead.

posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does
posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD
timers from signal->cpu_timers list.
But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group
leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group.
This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader.
After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems.
It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think
that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct.
Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular,
tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of
nontrivial and hard-to-test changes.
Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when
the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the
temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW,
this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway:
cpu timers do not work after mt exec.
In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can
detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However,
the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we
can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().

It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be
killed to allow future memory freeing. A subsequent patch will prevent
kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.
This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.
This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it
does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the
operation is atomic.

This is fixed by holding the RCU read lock in wait_task_continued() to ensure
that the task's current credentials aren't destroyed between us reading the

Furthermore, protect wait_task_stopped() in the same way.
We don't need to keep holding the RCU read lock once we've read the UID from
the credentials as holding the RCU read lock doesn't stop the target task from
changing its creds under us - so the credentials may be outdated immediately
after we've read the pointer, lock or no lock.

exit_ptrace() takes tasklist_lock unconditionally. We need this lock to
avoid the race with ptrace_traceme(), it acts as a barrier.
Change its caller, forget_original_parent(), to call exit_ptrace() under
tasklist_lock. Change exit_ptrace() to drop and reacquire this lock if
needed.
This allows us to add the fastpath list_empty(ptraced) check. In the
likely no-tracees case exit_ptrace() just returns and we avoid the lock()
+ unlock() sequence.

When the last thread exits signal->tty is freed, but the pointer is not
cleared and points to nowhere.
This is OK. Nobody should use signal->tty lockless, and it is no longer
possible to take ->siglock. However this looks wrong even if correct, and
the nice OOPS is better than subtle and hard to find bugs.
Change __exit_signal() to clear signal->tty under ->siglock.
Note: __exit_signal() needs more cleanups. It should not check "sig !=
NULL" to detect the all-dead case and we have the same issues with
signal->stats.

We have a lot of problems with accessing task_struct->signal, it can
"disappear" at any moment. Even current can't use its ->signal safely
after exit_notify(). ->siglock helps, but it is not convenient, not
always possible, and sometimes it makes sense to use task->signal even
after this task has already dead.
This patch adds the reference counter, sigcnt, into signal_struct. This
reference is owned by task_struct and it is dropped in
__put_task_struct(). Perhaps it makes sense to export
get/put_signal_struct() later, but currently I don't see the immediate
reason.
Rename __cleanup_signal() to free_signal_struct() and unexport it. With
the previous changes it does nothing except kmem_cache_free().
Change __exit_signal() to not clear/free ->signal, it will be freed when
the last reference to any thread in the thread group goes away.
Note:
- when the last thead exits signal->tty can point to nowhere, see
the next patch.
- with or without this patch signal_struct->count should go away,
or at least it should be "int nr_threads" for fs/proc. This will
be addressed later.

tty_kref_put() has two callsites in copy_process() paths,
1. if copy_process() suceeds it is called before we copy
signal->tty from parent
2. otherwise it is called from __cleanup_signal() under
bad_fork_cleanup_signal: label
In both cases tty_kref_put() is not right and unneeded because we don't
have the balancing tty_kref_get(). Fortunately, this is harmless because
this can only happen without CLONE_THREAD, and in this case signal->tty
must be NULL.
Remove tty_kref_put() from copy_process() and __cleanup_signal(), and
change another caller of __cleanup_signal(), __exit_signal(), to call
tty_kref_put() by hand.
I hope this change makes sense by itself, but it is also needed to make
->signal refcountable.

de_thread() and __exit_signal() use signal_struct->count/notify_count for
synchronization. We can simplify the code and use ->notify_count only.
Instead of comparing these two counters, we can change de_thread() to set
->notify_count = nr_of_sub_threads, then change __exit_signal() to
dec-and-test this counter and notify group_exit_task.
Note that __exit_signal() checks "notify_count > 0" just for symmetry with
exit_notify(), we could just check it is != 0.

signal_struct->count in its current form must die.
- it has no reasons to be atomic_t
- it looks like a reference counter, but it is not
- otoh, we really need to make task->signal refcountable, just look at
the extremely ugly task_rq_unlock_wait() called from __exit_signals().
- we should change the lifetime rules for task->signal, it should be
pinned to task_struct. We have a lot of code which can be simplified
after that.
- it is not needed! while the code is correct, any usage of this
counter is artificial, except fs/proc uses it correctly to show the
number of threads.
This series removes the usage of sig->count from exit pathes.
This patch:
Now that Veaceslav changed copy_signal() to use zalloc(), exit_notify()
can just check notify_count < 0 to ensure the execing sub-threads needs
the notification from us. No need to do other checks, notify_count != 0
must always mean ->group_exit_task != NULL is waiting for us.

Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.
The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:
(mpol: mempolicy)
task1 task1's mpol task2
alloc page 1
alloc on node0? NO 1
1 change mems from 1 to 0
1 rebind task1's mpol
0-1 set new bits
0 clear disallowed bits
alloc on node1? NO 0
...
can't alloc page
goto oom
This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

Considering the nature of per mm stats, it's the shared object among
threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path.
This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter. RSS value will be
counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at
events.
Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault.
Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls.
rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows
[before]
4.5 cache-miss/faults
[after]
4.0 cache-miss/faults
Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.

Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues.
Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list. This buys
nothing but slows down do_wait().
With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders).
The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over
sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it
changes ->group_leader.
Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD
tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and
ptrace_do_wait()).
This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(),
but this is fixable and minor.
Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they
should be fixed in any case.

This is a real fix for problem of utime/stime values decreasing
described in the thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/522
Now cputime is accounted in the following way:
- {u,s}time in task_struct are increased every time when the thread
is interrupted by a tick (timer interrupt).
- When a thread exits, its {u,s}time are added to signal->{u,s}time,
after adjusted by task_times().
- When all threads in a thread_group exits, accumulated {u,s}time
(and also c{u,s}time) in signal struct are added to c{u,s}time
in signal struct of the group's parent.
So {u,s}time in task struct are "raw" tick count, while
{u,s}time and c{u,s}time in signal struct are "adjusted" values.
And accounted values are used by:
- task_times(), to get cputime of a thread:
This function returns adjusted values that originates from raw
{u,s}time and scaled by sum_exec_runtime that accounted by CFS.
- thread_group_cputime(), to get cputime of a thread group:
This function returns sum of all {u,s}time of living threads in
the group, plus {u,s}time in the signal struct that is sum of
adjusted cputimes of all exited threads belonged to the group.
The problem is the return value of thread_group_cputime(),
because it is mixed sum of "raw" value and "adjusted" value:
group's {u,s}time = foreach(thread){{u,s}time} + exited({u,s}time)
This misbehavior can break {u,s}time monotonicity.
Assume that if there is a thread that have raw values greater
than adjusted values (e.g. interrupted by 1000Hz ticks 50 times
but only runs 45ms) and if it exits, cputime will decrease (e.g.
-5ms).
To fix this, we could do:
group's {u,s}time = foreach(t){task_times(t)} + exited({u,s}time)
But task_times() contains hard divisions, so applying it for
every thread should be avoided.
This patch fixes the above problem in the following way:
- Modify thread's exit (= __exit_signal()) not to use task_times().
It means {u,s}time in signal struct accumulates raw values instead
of adjusted values. As the result it makes thread_group_cputime()
to return pure sum of "raw" values.
- Introduce a new function thread_group_times(*task, *utime, *stime)
that converts "raw" values of thread_group_cputime() to "adjusted"
values, in same calculation procedure as task_times().
- Modify group's exit (= wait_task_zombie()) to use this introduced
thread_group_times(). It make c{u,s}time in signal struct to
have adjusted values like before this patch.
- Replace some thread_group_cputime() by thread_group_times().
This replacements are only applied where conveys the "adjusted"
cputime to users, and where already uses task_times() near by it.
(i.e. sys_times(), getrusage(), and /proc/<PID>/stat.)
This patch have a positive side effect:
- Before this patch, if a group contains many short-life threads
(e.g. runs 0.9ms and not interrupted by ticks), the group's
cputime could be invisible since thread's cputime was accumulated
after adjusted: imagine adjustment function as adj(ticks, runtime),
{adj(0, 0.9) + adj(0, 0.9) + ....} = {0 + 0 + ....} = 0.
After this patch it will not happen because the adjustment is
applied after accumulated.
v2:
- remove if()s, put new variables into signal_struct.
