f44310b98d smp: Fix SMP function call empty cpu mask race
I get the following warning every day with v3.7, once or
twice a day:

  [ 2235.186027] WARNING: at /mnt/sda7/kernel/linux/arch/x86/kernel/apic/ipi.c:109 default_send_IPI_mask_logical+0x2f/0xb8()

As explained by Linus as well:

 |
 | Once we've done the "list_add_rcu()" to add it to the
 | queue, we can have (another) IPI to the target CPU that can
 | now see it and clear the mask.
 |
 | So by the time we get to actually send the IPI, the mask might
 | have been cleared by another IPI.
 |

This patch also fixes a system hang problem, if the data->cpumask
gets cleared after passing this point:

        if (WARN_ONCE(!mask, "empty IPI mask"))
                return;

then the problem in commit 83d349f35e ("x86: don't send an IPI to
the empty set of CPU's") will happen again.

f56c3196f2 async: fix __lowest_in_progress()
Commit 083b804c4d ("async: use workqueue for worker pool") made it
possible that async jobs are moved from pending to running out-of-order.
While pending async jobs will be queued and dispatched for execution in
the same order, nothing guarantees they'll enter "1) move self to the
running queue" of async_run_entry_fn() in the same order.

Before the conversion, async implemented its own worker pool.  An async
worker, upon being woken up, fetches the first item from the pending
list, which kept the executing lists sorted.  The conversion to
workqueue was done by adding work_struct to each async_entry and async
just schedules the work item.  The queueing and dispatching of such work
items are still in order but now each worker thread is associated with a
specific async_entry and moves that specific async_entry to the
executing list.  So, depending on which worker reaches that point
earlier, which is non-deterministic, we may end up moving an async_entry
with larger cookie before one with smaller one.

This broke __lowest_in_progress().  running->domain may not be properly
sorted and is not guaranteed to contain lower cookies than pending list
when not empty.  Fix it by ensuring sort-inserting to the running list
and always looking at both pending and running when trying to determine
the lowest cookie.

Over time, the async synchronization implementation became quite messy.
We better restructure it such that each async_entry is linked to two
lists - one global and one per domain - and not move it when execution
starts.  There's no reason to distinguish pending and running.  They
behave the same for synchronization purposes.

9899d11f65 ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL
putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can
safely play with its stack.  However a killed tracee can return from
ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means
that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee
does SAVE_REST again.

set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this
race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the
logic.

As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace()
call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the
debugger looks at it.  Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we
can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths.

Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it
makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before
access_process_vm().

While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why
ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

910ffdb18a ptrace: introduce signal_wake_up_state() and ptrace_signal_wake_up()
Cleanup and preparation for the next change.

signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers
actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the
necessary mask.

Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce
signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up()
which adds __TASK_TRACED.

This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request()
even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.

c1bf08ac26 ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules
If some other kernel subsystem has a module notifier, and adds a kprobe
to a ftrace mcount point (now that kprobes work on ftrace points),
when the ftrace notifier runs it will fail and disable ftrace, as well
as kprobes that are attached to ftrace points.

Here's the error:

  actual: cc:bb:d2:4b:e1

A kprobe was added to the init_once() function in the fat module on load.
But this happened before ftrace could have touched the code. As ftrace
didn't run yet, the kprobe system had no idea it was a ftrace point and
simply added a breakpoint to the code (0xcc in the cc:bb:d2:4b:e1).

Then when ftrace went to modify the location from a call to mcount/fentry
into a nop, it didn't see a call op, but instead it saw the breakpoint op
and not knowing what to do with it, ftrace shut itself down.

The solution is to simply give the ftrace module notifier the max priority.
This should have been done regardless, as the core code ftrace modification
also happens very early on in boot up. This makes the module modification
closer to core modification.

ee61abb322 module: fix missing module_mutex unlock
Commit 1fb9341ac3 ("module: put modules in list much earlier") moved
some of the module initialization code around, and in the process
changed the exit paths too.  But for the duplicate export symbol error
case the change made the ddebug_cleanup path jump to after the module
mutex unlock, even though it happens with the mutex held.

Rusty has some patches to split this function up into some helper
functions, hopefully the mess of complex goto targets will go away
eventually.

774a1221e8 module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is used
If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock
while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing
was running off async.  This is because async_synchronize_full() at
the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which
initiated the module loading.

 async A				modprobe

 1. finds a device
 2. registers the block device
 3. request_module(default iosched)
					4. modprobe in userland
					5. load and init module
					6. async_synchronize_full()

Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe
waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full().

Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to
userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult.  For
now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init
has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus.

This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use
async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full().  This is
hacky and incomplete.  It will deadlock if async module loading nests;
however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the
best of bad options.

For more details, please refer to the following thread.

250bfd3d8e tracing: Fix regression of trace_pipe
Commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_on"
changes the behaviour of trace_pipe, ie. it makes trace_pipe return if
we've read something and tracing is enabled, and this means that we have
to 'cat trace_pipe' again and again while running tests.

IMO the right way is if tracing is enabled, we always block and wait for
ring buffer, or we may lose what we want since ring buffer's size is limited.

Now we have a new state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, we can insert the
module into the list (and thus guarantee its uniqueness) before we
allocate the per-cpu region.

7b9205bd77 audit: create explicit AUDIT_SECCOMP event type
The seccomp path was using AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND from when seccomp mode 1
could only kill a process.  While we still want to make sure an audit
record is forced on a kill, this should use a separate record type since
seccomp mode 2 introduces other behaviors.

In the case of "handled" behaviors (process wasn't killed), only emit a
record if the process is under inspection.  This change also fixes
userspace examination of seccomp audit events, since it was considered
malformed due to missing fields of the AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event type.

2df8f8a6a8 tracing: Fix regression with irqsoff tracer and tracing_on file
Commit 02404baf1b "tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file"
removed the tracing_enabled file as it never worked properly and
the tracing_on file should be used instead. But the tracing_on file
didn't call into the tracers start/stop routines like the
tracing_enabled file did. This caused trace-cmd to break when it
enabled the irqsoff tracer.

If you just did "echo irqsoff > current_tracer" then it would work
properly. But the tool trace-cmd disables tracing first by writing
"0" into the tracing_on file. Then it writes "irqsoff" into
current_tracer and then writes "1" into tracing_on. Unfortunately,
the above commit changed the irqsoff tracer to check the tracing_on
status instead of the tracing_enabled status. If it's disabled then
it does not start the tracer internals.

The problem is that writing "1" into tracing_on does not call the
tracers "start" routine like writing "1" into tracing_enabled did.
This makes the irqsoff tracer not start when using the trace-cmd
tool, and is a regression for userspace.

Simple fix is to have the tracing_on file call the tracers start()
method when being enabled (and the stop() method when disabled).

The latest change to allow trace options to be set on the command

The zeroing of the last byte of the option name that is echoed into
the trace_option file was removed with the consolidation of some
of the code. The compare between the option and what was written to
the trace_options file fails because the string holding the data
written doesn't terminate with a null character.

A zero needs to be added to the end of the string copied from
user space.

    feature.
 
 2) Conversion of ARM timer implementations to use clock_event_devices's
    suspend/resume operations, rather than the ARM-specific sys_timer
    versions. Thus, the ARM code begins to use more common infra-structure
    rather than arch-specific code.
 
 3) Removal of ARM's struct sys_timer completely, now that everything uses
    common code.
 
 4) Introduction of drivers/clocksource/clksrc-of.c, which allows ARM clock
    source implementations to be moved into drivers/clocksource, with the
    need to add SoC-specific header files for each timer initialization
    function; instead, all enabled implementations are registered into a
    table which a single core function iterates over, and calls the
    relevant initialization functions based on device tree. At least the
    Tegra and BCM2835 clocksource implementations will use this feature in

35dac27ced printk: fix incorrect length from print_time() when seconds > 99999
print_prefix() passes a NULL buf to print_time() to get the length of
the time prefix; when printk times are enabled, the current code just
returns the constant 15, which matches the format "[%5lu.%06lu] " used
to print the time value.  However, this is obviously incorrect when the
whole seconds part of the time gets beyond 5 digits (100000 seconds is a
bit more than a day of uptime).

The simple fix is to use snprintf(NULL, 0, ...) to calculate the actual
length of the time prefix.  This could be micro-optimized but it seems
better to have simpler, more readable code here.

The bug leads to the syslog system call miscomputing which messages fit
into the userspace buffer.  If there are enough messages to fill
log_buf_len and some have a timestamp >= 100000, dmesg may fail with:

    # dmesg
    klogctl: Bad address

When this happens, strace shows that the failure is indeed EFAULT due to
the kernel mistakenly accessing past the end of dmesg's buffer, since
dmesg asks the kernel how big a buffer it needs, allocates a bit more,
and then gets an error when it asks the kernel to fill it:

    syslog(0xa, 0, 0)                       = 1048576
    mmap(NULL, 1052672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fa4d25d2000
    syslog(0x3, 0x7fa4d25d2010, 0x100008)   = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

As far as I can see, the bug has been there as long as print_time(),
which comes from commit 084681d14e ("printk: flush continuation lines
immediately to console") in 3.5-rc5.

8d9807b109 switch compat_sys_wait4() and compat_sys_waitid() to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
Strictly speaking, ppc64 needs it for C ABI compliance.  Realistically
I would be very surprised if e.g. passing 0xffffffff as 'options'
argument to waitid() from 32bit task would cause problems, but yes,
it puts us into undefined behaviour territory.  ppc64 expects int
argument to be passed in 64bit register with bits 31..63 containing
the same value.  SYSCALL_DEFINE on ppc provides a wrapper that normalizes
the value passed from userland; so does COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE.  Plain
declaration of compat_sys_something() with an int argument obviously
doesn't.  Again, for wait4 and waitid I would be extremely surprised
if gcc started to produce code depending on that value having been
properly sign-extended - the argument(s) in question end up passed
blindly to sys_wait4 and sys_waitid resp. and normalization for native
syscalls takes care of their use there.  Still, better to use
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE here than worry about nasal daemons...

c876ad7682 pidns: Stop pid allocation when init dies
Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence.
- pid 1 becomes a zombie
- setns(thepidns), fork,...
- reaping pid 1.
- The injected processes exiting.

Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and
instead following a stale pointer.

That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in
the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate.

Avoid these problems by disabling the allocation of new pids in a pid
namespace when init dies, instead of when the last process in a pid
namespace is reaped.

8382fcac1b pidns: Outlaw thread creation after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)
The sequence:
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)
clone(CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_SIGHAND|CLONE_VM)

Creates a new process in the new pid namespace without setting
pid_ns->child_reaper.  After forking this results in a NULL
pointer dereference.

Avoid this and other nonsense scenarios that can show up after
creating a new pid namespace with unshare by adding a new
check in copy_prodcess.

7b1f62076b time: convert arch_gettimeoffset to a pointer
Currently, whenever CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET is enabled, each
arch core provides a single implementation of arch_gettimeoffset(). In
many cases, different sub-architectures, different machines, or
different timer providers exist, and so the arch ends up implementing
arch_gettimeoffset() as a call-through-pointer anyway. Examples are
ARM, Cris, M68K, and it's arguable that the remaining architectures,
M32R and Blackfin, should be doing this anyway.

Modify arch_gettimeoffset so that it itself is a function pointer, which
the arch initializes. This will allow later changes to move the
initialization of this function into individual machine support or timer
drivers. This is particularly useful for code in drivers/clocksource
which should rely on an arch-independant mechanism to register their
implementation of arch_gettimeoffset().

This patch also converts the Cris architecture to set arch_gettimeoffset
directly to the final implementation in time_init(), because Cris already
had separate time_init() functions per sub-architecture. M68K and ARM
are converted to set arch_gettimeoffset to the final implementation in
later patches, because they already have function pointers in place for
this purpose.

96680d2b91 Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify
Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris:
 "This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system.  By
  switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now
  hold the lock across things like iput().  This fixes a problem
  involving unmounting a fs and having inodes be busy, first pointed out
  by FAT, but reproducible with tmpfs.

  This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been
  broken since about 2.6.32."

Ugh.  I *hate* the timing of this.  It was rebased after the merge
window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day
before the merge window closes.  That's just crap.  But apparently the
patches themselves have been around for over a year, just gathering
dust, so now it's suddenly critical.

Fixed up semantic conflict in fs/notify/fdinfo.c as per Stephen
Rothwell's fixes from -next.

* 'for-next' of git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify:
  inotify: automatically restart syscalls
  inotify: dont skip removal of watch descriptor if creation of ignored event failed
  fanotify: dont merge permission events
  fsnotify: make fasync generic for both inotify and fanotify
  fsnotify: change locking order
  fsnotify: dont put marks on temporary list when clearing marks by group
  fsnotify: introduce locked versions of fsnotify_add_mark() and fsnotify_remove_mark()
  fsnotify: pass group to fsnotify_destroy_mark()
  fsnotify: use a mutex instead of a spinlock to protect a groups mark list
  fanotify: add an extra flag to mark_remove_from_mask that indicates wheather a mark should be destroyed
  fsnotify: take groups mark_lock before mark lock
  fsnotify: use reference counting for groups
  fsnotify: introduce fsnotify_get_group()
  inotify, fanotify: replace fsnotify_put_group() with fsnotify_destroy_group()

task_numa_placement() oopsed on NULL p->mm when task_numa_fault() got
