This allows the LSM to distinguish between syslog functions originating
from /proc/kmsg access and direct syscalls. By default, the commoncaps
will now no longer require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read an opened /proc/kmsg
file descriptor. For example the kernel syslog reader can now drop
privileges after opening /proc/kmsg, instead of staying privileged with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN. MAC systems that implement security_syslog have unchanged
behavior.

The WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state which complains about a mismatch
between pi_state->owner->pid and the pid which we retrieved from the
user space futex is completely bogus.
The code just emits the warning and then continues despite the fact
that it detected an inconsistent state of the futex. A conveniant way
for user space to spam the syslog.
Replace the WARN_ON by a consistency check. If the values do not match
return -EINVAL and let user space deal with the mess it created.
This also fixes the missing task_pid_vnr() when we compare the
pi_state->owner pid with the futex value.

If the owner of a PI futex dies we fix up the pi_state and set
pi_state->owner to NULL. When a malicious or just sloppy programmed
user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling
pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new
waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on
unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses.
Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If
pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the
futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL.
This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the
futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it.

This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(),
where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented
only once, causing the backing object to not be released.
If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system,
this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan,
which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the
file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this,
see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>.
The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's
38d47c1b7075bd7ec3881141bb3629da58f88dab "[PATCH] futex: rely on
get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key()
also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its
callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning.
Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected:
the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(),
but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi().
The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31
this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'.

subsystem has use_id == 1)

sched: Correct printk whitespace in warning from cpu down task check
sched: Fix incorrect sanity check
sched: Fix fork vs hotplug vs cpuset namespaces
When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, sched_clock() gets
the time from hardware such as the TSC on x86. In this
configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on
resuming or detaching from a debug session.
Sequence of events in the problem case:
1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior
to a call to kgdb_handle_exception()
2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on
exit the following is called ... touch_softlockup_watchdog() -->
__raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0;
3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the
interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec
4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from
kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock"
update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES"
here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) -->
__touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp"
to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be
set to 100s.) ...
scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched
clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ... }
5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large
jump and trips the softlockup warning.
update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" =
180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ... }
note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to
"get_timestamp(this_cpu)"
Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec?
When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of
get_timestamp() is:
get_timestamp(this_cpu)
-->cpu_clock(this_cpu)
-->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu)
-->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now)
The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to
create a window to normalize the "now" values. So if "now"
value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored.
The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched
clock" in order to recover from this state. This is done by
introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This
allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the
watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the
kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw
breakpoint reservations.
The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it
can start the kernel running from an invalid context.
A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get
created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint
reservations.
The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently
processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is
improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is
warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the
hardware breakpoint reservations.
Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it
will be a system wide reservation.

In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the
performance event counters. The hw_breakpoint_handler() now
consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb
arch specific code. In order for kgdb to work in conjunction
with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level
functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and
deal with hw breakpoint reservations.
The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug
anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the
hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw
breakpoint while kgdb is active.
During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will
pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures. Kgdb
will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw
breakpoint registers, per cpu. Right now the hw_breakpoint API
does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available,
on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint
might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state. The
intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of
hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the
kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what
restrictions have been imposed as a result. Breakpoint
constraints will be dealt with in a future patch.
While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call
arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint()
to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints.
The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool
of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but
neither knows about future reservations for the available hw
breakpoint slots.

predict the rate at which they trigger, therefore we have to

In the function graph tracer, a calling function is to be traced
only when it is enabled through the set_graph_function file,
or when it is nested in an enabled function.
Current code uses TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH to test whether it is nested
or not. Looking at the code, we can get this:
(trace->depth > 0) <==> (TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is set)
trace->depth is more explicit to tell that it is nested.
So we use trace->depth directly and simplify the code.
No functionality is changed.
TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is not removed yet, it is left for future usage.

On a given architecture, when hardware breakpoint registration fails
due to un-supported access type (read/write/execute), we lose the bp
slot since register_perf_hw_breakpoint() does not release the bp slot
on failure.
Hence, any subsequent hardware breakpoint registration starts failing
with 'no space left on device' error.
This patch introduces error handling in register_perf_hw_breakpoint()

There was a bug in the old period code that caused intel_pmu_enable_all()
or native_write_msr_safe() to show up quite high in the profiles.
In staring at that code it made my head hurt, so I rewrote it in a
hopefully simpler fashion. Its now fully symetric between tick and
overflow driven adjustments and uses less data to boot.
The only complication is that it basically wants to do a u128 division.
The code approximates that in a rather simple truncate until it fits

Lockdep has found the real bug, but the output doesn't look right to me:

"HARDIRQ-unsafe" and "this lock took another" looks wrong, afaics.

The stack-trace shows that this lock (ctrl_lock) was taken under
->siglock (which is hopefully irq-safe).
This is a clear typo in check_usage_backwards() where we tell the print a
fancy routine we're forwards.

If the iterator comes to an empty page for some reason, or if
the page is emptied by a consuming read. The iterator code currently
does not check if the iterator is pass the contents, and may
return a false entry.
This patch adds a check to the ring buffer iterator to test if the
current page has been completely read and sets the iterator to the
next page if necessary.

Usually reads of the ring buffer is performed by a single task.
There are two types of reads from the ring buffer.
One is a consuming read which will consume the entry that was read
and the next read will be the entry that follows.
The other is an iterator that will let the user read the contents of
the ring buffer without modifying it. When an iterator is allocated,
writes to the ring buffer are disabled to protect the iterator.
The problem exists when consuming reads happen while an iterator is
allocated. Specifically, the kind of read that swaps out an entire
page (used by splice) and replaces it with a new read. If the iterator
is on the page that is swapped out, then the next read may read
from this swapped out page and return garbage.
This patch adds a check when reading the iterator to make sure that
the iterator contents are still valid. If a consuming read has taken
place, the iterator is reset.

commit 0f8e8ef7 (clocksource: Simplify clocksource watchdog resume
logic) introduced a potential kgdb dead lock. When the kernel is
stopped by kgdb inside code which holds watchdog_lock then kgdb dead
locks in clocksource_resume_watchdog().
clocksource_resume_watchdog() is called from kbdg via
clocksource_touch_watchdog() to avoid that the clock source watchdog
marks TSC unstable after the kernel has been stopped.
Solve this by replacing spin_lock with a spin_trylock and just return
in case the lock is held. Not resetting the watchdog might result in
TSC becoming marked unstable, but that's an acceptable penalty for
using kgdb.
The timekeeping is anyway easily screwed up by kgdb when the system
uses either jiffies or a clock source which wraps in short intervals
(e.g. pm_timer wraps about every 4.6s), so we really do not have to
worry about that occasional TSC marked unstable side effect.
The second caller of clocksource_resume_watchdog() is
clocksource_resume(). The trylock is safe here as well because the
system is UP at this point, interrupts are disabled and nothing else
can hold watchdog_lock().

If the contents of the ftrace ring buffer gets corrupted and the trace
file is read, it could create a kernel oops (usualy just killing the user
task thread). This is caused by the checking of the pid in the buffer.
If the pid is negative, it still references the cmdline cache array,
which could point to an invalid address.
The simple fix is to test for negative PIDs.

rtmutex_set_prio() is used to implement priority inheritance for
futexes. When a task is deboosted it gets enqueued at the tail of its
RT priority list. This is violating the POSIX scheduling semantics:
rt priority list X contains two runnable tasks A and B
task A runs with priority X and holds mutex M
task C preempts A and is blocked on mutex M
-> task A is boosted to priority of task C (Y)
task A unlocks the mutex M and deboosts itself
-> A is dequeued from rt priority list Y
-> A is enqueued to the tail of rt priority list X
task C schedules away
task B runs
This is wrong as task A did not schedule away and therefor violates
the POSIX scheduling semantics.
Enqueue the task to the head of the priority list instead.

There are a number of issues:
1) TASK_WAKING vs cgroup_clone (cpusets)
copy_process():
sched_fork()
child->state = TASK_WAKING; /* waiting for wake_up_new_task() */
if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
ns_cgroup_clone()
cgroup_clone()
mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
cgroup_attach_task()
ss->can_attach()
ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
cpuset_attach_task()
set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
while (child->state == TASK_WAKING)
cpu_relax();
will deadlock the system.
2) cgroup_clone (cpusets) vs copy_process
So even if the above would work we still have:
copy_process():
if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
ns_cgroup_clone()
cgroup_clone()
mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
cgroup_attach_task()
ss->can_attach()
ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
cpuset_attach_task()
set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
...
p->cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed
over-writing the modified cpus_allowed.
3) fork() vs hotplug
if we unplug the child's cpu after the sanity check when the child
gets attached to the task_list but before wake_up_new_task() shit
will meet with fan.
Solve all these issues by moving fork cpu selection into
wake_up_new_task().
