3bcac0263f SELinux: Don't flush inherited SIGKILL during execve()
Don't flush inherited SIGKILL during execve() in SELinux's post cred commit
hook.  This isn't really a security problem: if the SIGKILL came before the
credentials were changed, then we were right to receive it at the time, and
should honour it; if it came after the creds were changed, then we definitely
should honour it; and in any case, all that will happen is that the process
will be scrapped before it ever returns to userspace.

f5f293a4e3 sched: account system time properly
Andrew Gallatin reported that IRQ and SOFTIRQ times were
sometime not reported correctly on recent kernels, and even
bisected to commit 457533a7d3
([PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting) as the first
bad commit.

Further analysis pointed that commit
79741dd357 ([PATCH] idle cputime
accounting) was the real cause of the problem.

account_process_tick() was not taking into account timer IRQ
interrupting the idle task servicing a hard or soft irq.

On mostly idle cpu, irqs were thus not accounted and top or
mpstat could tell user/admin that cpu was 100 % idle, 0.00 %
irq, 0.00 % softirq, while it was not.

[ Impact: fix occasionally incorrect CPU statistics in top/mpstat ]

4aeb0b4239 perfcounters: rename struct hw_perf_counter_ops into struct pmu
This patch renames struct hw_perf_counter_ops into struct pmu. It
introduces a structure to describe a cpu specific pmu (performance
monitoring unit). It may contain ops and data. The new name of the
structure fits better, is shorter, and thus better to handle. Where it
was appropriate, names of function and variable have been changed too.

a0e39ed378 tracing: fix build failure on s390
"tracing: create automated trace defines" causes this compile error on s390,
as reported by Sachin Sant against linux-next:

 kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq':
 (.text+0x1c680): undefined reference to `__tracepoint_softirq_entry'

This happens because the definitions of the softirq tracepoints were moved
from kernel/softirq.c to kernel/irq/handle.c. Since s390 doesn't support
generic hardirqs handle.c doesn't get compiled and the definitions are
missing.

So move the tracepoints to softirq.c again.

8b37256210 tracing/filters: a better event parser
Replace the current event parser hack with a better one.  Filters are
no longer specified predicate by predicate, but all at once and can
use parens and any of the following operators:

numeric fields:

==, !=, <, <=, >, >=

string fields:

==, !=

predicates can be combined with the logical operators:

&&, ||

examples:

"common_preempt_count > 4" > filter

"((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || sig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter

If there was an error, the erroneous string along with an error
message can be seen by looking at the filter e.g.:

((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash
^
parse_error: Field not found

Currently the caret for an error always appears at the beginning of
the filter; a real position should be used, but the error message
should be useful even without it.

To clear a filter, '0' can be written to the filter file.

Filters can also be set or cleared for a complete subsystem by writing
the same filter as would be written to an individual event to the
filter file at the root of the subsytem.  Note however, that if any
event in the subsystem lacks a field specified in the filter being
set, the set will fail and all filters in the subsytem are
automatically cleared.  This change from the previous version was made
because using only the fields that happen to exist for a given event
would most likely result in a meaningless filter.

Because the logical operators are now implemented as predicates, the
maximum number of predicates in a filter was increased from 8 to 16.

a118e4d140 tracing/filters: distinguish between signed and unsigned fields
The new filter comparison ops need to be able to distinguish between
signed and unsigned field types, so add an is_signed flag/param to the
event field struct/trace_define_fields().  Also define a simple macro,
is_signed_type() to determine the signedness at compile time, used in the
trace macros.  If the is_signed_type() macro won't work with a specific
type, a new slightly modified version of TRACE_FIELD() called
TRACE_FIELD_SIGN(), allows the signedness to be set explicitly.

f2957f1f19 tracing: have splice only copy full pages
Splice works with pages, it is much more effecient to use an entire
page than to copy bits over several pages.

Using logdev to trace the internals of the splice mechanism, I was
able to see that splice can be very aggressive. When tracing is
occurring, and the reader caught up to the writer, and the writer
is on the reader page, the reader will copy what is there into the
splice page. Splice may iterate over several pages and if the
writer is still writing to the page, the reader will keep copying
bits to new pages to pass to userspace.

This patch changes it to only pass data to userspace if the page
is full (the writer has left the page). This has a small side effect
that splice can not read a partial page, and must wait for the
page to fill. This should not be an issue. If tracing has stopped,
then a use of "read" will still read all of the page.

cd891ae030 tracing: convert ftrace_dump spinlocks to raw
ftrace_dump is used for printing out the contents of the ftrace ring buffer
to the console on failure. Currently it uses a spinlock to synchronize
the output from multiple failures on different CPUs. This spin lock
currently is a normal spinlock and can cause issues with lockdep and
lock tracing.

This patch converts it to raw since it is for error handling only.
The lock is local to the ftrace_dump and is not used by any other
infrastructure.

57b150cce8 irq: only update affinity if ->set_affinity() is sucessfull
irq_set_affinity() and move_masked_irq() try to assign affinity
before calling chip set_affinity(). Some archs are assigning it
in ->set_affinity() again.

We do something like:

 cpumask_cpy(desc->affinity, mask);
 desc->chip->set_affinity(mask);

But in the failure path, affinity should not be touched - otherwise
we'll end up with a different affinity mask despite the failure to
migrate the IRQ.

So try to update the afffinity only if set_affinity returns with 0.
Also call irq_set_thread_affinity accordingly.

v2: update after "irq, x86: Remove IRQ_DISABLED check in process context IRQ move"
v3: according to Ingo, change set_affinity() in irq_chip should return int.

701970b3a8 tracing/events: make modules have their own file_operations structure
For proper module reference counting, the file_operations that modules use
must have the "owner" field set to the module. Unfortunately, the trace events
use share file_operations. The same file_operations are used by all both
kernel core and all modules.

This patch makes the modules allocate their own file_operations and
copies the functions from the core kernel. This allows those file
operations to be owned by the module.

Care is taken to free this code on module unload.

Thanks to Greg KH for reminding me that file_operations must be owned
by the module to have reference counting take place.

This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow

0c8454f566 PM/Hibernate: Fix waiting for image device to appear on resume
Commit c751085943 ("PM/Hibernate: Wait for
SCSI devices scan to complete during resume") added a call to
scsi_complete_async_scans() to software_resume(), so that it waited for
the SCSI scanning to complete, but the call was added at a wrong place.

Namely, it should have been added after wait_for_device_probe(), which
is called only if the image partition hasn't been specified yet.  Also,
it's reasonable to check if the image partition is present and only wait
for the device probing and SCSI scanning to complete if it is not the
case.

Additionally, since noresume is checked right at the beginning of
software_resume() and the function returns immediately if it's set, it
doesn't make sense to check it once again later.

75db37d2f4 tracing: add size checks for exported ftrace internal structures
The events exported by TRACE_EVENT are automated and are guaranteed
to be correct when used.

The internal ftrace structures on the other hand are more manually
exported. These require the ftrace maintainer to make sure they
are up to date.

This patch adds a size check to help flag when a type changes in
an internal ftrace data structure, and the update needs to be reflected
in the export.

If a export is incorrect, then the only harm is that the user space
tools will not know how to correctly read the internal structures of
ftrace.

        /* The task we are waiting for is waking up */
        data = wakeup_trace->data[wakeup_cpu];

On initialization, wakeup_task is NULL and wakeup_cpu -1. This code
is not under a lock. If wakeup_task is set on another CPU as that
task is waking up, we can see the wakeup_task before wakeup_cpu is
set. If we read wakeup_cpu while it is still -1 then we will have
a bad data pointer.

This patch moves the reading of wakeup_cpu within the protection of
the spinlock used to protect the writing of wakeup_cpu and wakeup_task.

3554228d42 ring-buffer: only warn on wrap if buffer is bigger than two pages
On boot up, to save memory, ftrace allocates the minimum buffer
which is two pages. Ftrace also goes through a series of tests
(when configured) on boot up. These tests can fill up a page within
a single interrupt.

The ring buffer also has a WARN_ON when it detects that the buffer was
completely filled within a single commit (other commits are allowed to
be nested).

Combine the small buffer on start up, with the tests that can fill more
than a single page within an interrupt, this can trigger the WARN_ON.

This patch makes the WARN_ON only happen when the ring buffer consists
of more than two pages.

[ Impact: prevent false WARN_ON in ftrace startup tests ]

6e29ec5701 sched: Replace first_cpu() with cpumask_first() in ILB nomination code
Stephen Rothwell reported this build warning:

>  kernel/sched.c: In function 'find_new_ilb':
>  kernel/sched.c:4355: warning: passing argument 1 of '__first_cpu' from incompatible pointer type
>
> Possibly caused by commit f711f6090a

For !(CONFIG_SCHED_MC || CONFIG_SCHED_SMT), find_new_ilb() nominates the
Idle load balancer as the first cpu from the nohz.cpu_mask.

This code uses the older API first_cpu(). Replace it with cpumask_first(),
which is the correct API here.

cb4764a6db tracing: use nowakeup version of commit for function event trace tests
The startup tests for the event tracer also runs with the function
tracer enabled. The "wakeup" version of the trace commit was used
which can grab spinlocks. If a task was preempted by an NMI
that called a function being traced, it could deadlock due to the
function tracer trying to grab the same lock.

aa18efb2a2 tracing: use recursive counter over irq level
Althought using the irq level (hardirq_count, softirq_count and in_nmi)
was nice to detect bad recursion right away, but since the counters are
not atomically updated with respect to the interrupts, the function tracer
might trigger the test from an interrupt handler before the hardirq_count
is updated. This will trigger a false warning.

This patch converts the recursive detection to a simple counter.
If the depth is greater than 16 then the recursive detection will trigger.
16 is more than enough for any nested interrupts.

e395898e98 tracing: remove recursive test from ring_buffer_event_discard
The ring_buffer_event_discard is not tied to ring_buffer_lock_reserve.
It can be called inside or outside the reserve/commit. Even if it
is called inside the reserve/commit the commit part must also be called.

Only ring_buffer_discard_commit can be used as a replacement for
ring_buffer_unlock_commit.

This patch removes the trace_recursive_unlock from ring_buffer_event_discard
since it would be the wrong place to do so.
