Sending audit netlink multicast messages is bad for all the same
reasons that sending audit netlink unicast messages is bad, so this
patch reworks things so that we don't do the multicast send in
audit_log_end(), we do it from the dedicated kauditd_thread thread just
as we do for unicast messages.

Richard made this change some time ago but Eric backed it out because
the rest of the supporting code wasn't ready. In order to move the
netlink multicast send to kauditd_thread we need to ensure the

On the v2 hierarchy, "cgroup.subtree_control" rejects controller
enables if the cgroup has processes in it. The enforcement of this
logic assumes that the cgroup wouldn't have any css_sets associated
with it if there are no tasks in the cgroup, which is no longer true
since a79a908fd2 ("cgroup: introduce cgroup namespaces").
When a cgroup namespace is created, it pins the css_set of the
creating task to use it as the root css_set of the namespace. This
extra reference stays as long as the namespace is around and makes
"cgroup.subtree_control" think that the namespace root cgroup is not
empty even when it is and thus reject controller enables.
Fix it by making cgroup_subtree_control() walk and test emptiness of
each css_set instead of testing whether the list_head is empty.
While at it, update the comment of cgroup_task_count() to indicate
that the returned value may be higher than the number of tasks, which
has always been true due to temporary references and doesn't break
anything.

An "exclusive" PMU is the one that can only have one event scheduled in
at any given time. There may be more than one of such PMUs in a system,
though, like Intel PT and BTS. It should be allowed to have one event
for either of those inside the same context (there may be other constraints
that may prevent this, but those would be hardware-specific). However,
the exclusivity code is written so that only one event from any of the
"exclusive" PMUs is allowed in a context.
Fix this by making the exclusive event filter explicitly match two events'
PMUs.

A discrepancy between cpu_online_mask and cpuset's effective_cpus
mask is inevitable during hotplug since cpuset defers updating of
effective_cpus mask using a workqueue, during which time nothing
prevents the system from more hotplug operations. For that reason
guarantee_online_cpus() walks up the cpuset hierarchy until it finds
an intersection under the assumption that top cpuset's effective_cpus
mask intersects with cpu_online_mask even with such a race occurring.
However a sequence of CPU hotplugs can open a time window, during which
none of the effective CPUs in the top cpuset intersect with
cpu_online_mask.
For example when there are 4 possible CPUs 0-3 and only CPU0 is online:
======================== ===========================
cpu_online_mask top_cpuset.effective_cpus
======================== ===========================
echo 1 > cpu2/online.
CPU hotplug notifier woke up hotplug work but not yet scheduled.
[0,2] [0]
echo 0 > cpu0/online.
The workqueue is still runnable.
[2] [0]
======================== ===========================
Now there is no intersection between cpu_online_mask and
top_cpuset.effective_cpus. Thus invoking sys_sched_setaffinity() at
this moment can cause following:

- Fix a mis-merge of the nfit machine-check handler to flip the

legacy / simulated nvdimm memory ranges. Without this fix a test
can set badblocks, but never clear them on these ranges.

In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are
writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can
safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped,
we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped.
However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction
and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction
will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets
scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an
event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being
used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close()
path and cause a memory corruption.
To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated;
this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area
of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will
be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the
old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this
ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't
start any more.

track_pfn_insert() in vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() is marking dax mappings as
uncacheable rendering them impractical for application usage. DAX-pte
mappings are cached and the goal of establishing DAX-pmd mappings is to
attain more performance, not dramatically less (3 orders of magnitude).
track_pfn_insert() relies on a previous call to reserve_memtype() to
establish the expected page_cache_mode for the range. While memremap()
arranges for reserve_memtype() to be called, devm_memremap_pages() does
not. So, teach track_pfn_insert() and untrack_pfn() how to handle
tracking without a vma, and arrange for devm_memremap_pages() to
establish the write-back-cache reservation in the memtype tree.

The origin of the issue I've seen is related to
a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and
the check for task->on_rq.
The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule()
and is doing the following:
do {
schedule()
set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE);
} while (!cond);
The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in
try_to_wake_up():
while (p->on_cpu)
cpu_relax();
Analysis:
The instance I've seen involves the following race:
CPU1 CPU2
while () {
if (cond)
break;
do {
schedule();
set_current_state(TASK_UN..)
} while (!cond);
wakeup_routine()
spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) wake_up_process()
} try_to_wake_up()
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); ..
list_del(&waiter.list);
CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set
current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs:
CPU3
wakeup_routine()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)

CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds
it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately
after CPU2, CPU3 got it.
CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and
the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq
is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds
p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis,
but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq
check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible
(based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup
via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not
done uder the pi_lock.
The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on
the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely
Reproduction of the issue:
The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80
threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running
memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to
reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce
the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the
changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far.
Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well.
Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing
bit in my theory.

tick_nohz_start_idle() is prevented to be called if the idle tick can't
be stopped since commit 1f3b0f8243 ("tick/nohz: Optimize nohz idle

The idle and iowait states are weird 0 for cpu0(housekeeping).
The bug is present in both guest and host kernels, and they both have
cpu0's idle and iowait states issue, however, host kernel's suspend/resume
path etc will touch watchdog to avoid the softlockup.
- The watchdog will not be touched in tick_nohz_stop_idle path (need be
touched since the scheduler stall is expected) if idle_active flags are
not detected.
- The idle and iowait states will not be accounted when exit idle loop
(resched or interrupt) if idle start time and idle_active flags are
not set.
This patch fixes it by reverting commit 1f3b0f8243 since can't stop
idle tick doesn't mean can't be idle.

mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request
Commit fec1d01152 ("[PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal
exit") has caused a subtle regression in nscd which uses
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID to clear the nscd_certainly_running flag in the
shared databases, so that the clients are notified when nscd is
restarted. Now, when nscd uses a non-persistent database, clients that
have it mapped keep thinking the database is being updated by nscd, when
in fact nscd has created a new (anonymous) one (for non-persistent
databases it uses an unlinked file as backend).
The original proposal for the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID change claimed
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/25/233):
: The NPTL library uses the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag on clone() syscalls
: on behalf of pthread_create() library calls. This feature is used to
: request that the kernel clear the thread-id in user space (at an address
: provided in the syscall) when the thread disassociates itself from the
: address space, which is done in mm_release().
:
: Unfortunately, when a multi-threaded process incurs a core dump (such as
: from a SIGSEGV), the core-dumping thread sends SIGKILL signals to all of
: the other threads, which then proceed to clear their user-space tids
: before synchronizing in exit_mm() with the start of core dumping. This
: misrepresents the state of process's address space at the time of the
: SIGSEGV and makes it more difficult for someone to debug NPTL and glibc
: problems (misleading him/her to conclude that the threads had gone away
: before the fault).
:
: The fix below is to simply avoid the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID action if a
: core dump has been initiated.
The resulting patch from Roland (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/26/269)
seems to have a larger scope than the original patch asked for. It
seems that limitting the scope of the check to core dumping should work
for SIGSEGV issue describe above.

__printk_nmi_flush() can be called from nmi_panic(), therefore it has to
test whether it's executed in NMI context and thus must route the
messages through deferred printk() or via direct printk().
This is to avoid potential deadlocks, as described in commit
cf9b1106c8 ("printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panic").
However there remain two places where __printk_nmi_flush() does
unconditional direct printk() calls:
- pr_err("printk_nmi_flush: internal error ...")
- pr_cont("\n")
Factor out print_nmi_seq_line() parts into a new printk_nmi_flush_line()
function, which takes care of in_nmi(), and use it in
__printk_nmi_flush() for printing and error-reporting.

I've made a previous attempt at fixing them and we discussed a number of
alternatives.
I tried changing the Makefile to use "merge_config.sh -n
$(fragment-list)" but couldn't get that to work properly.
This is yet another approach, based on the observation that we do want
to see a warning for conflicting 'choice' options, and that we can
simply make them non-conflicting by listing all other options as
disabled. This is a trivial patch that we can apply independent of
plans for other changes.

If kexec_apply_relocations fails, kexec_load_purgatory frees pi->sechdrs
and pi->purgatory_buf. This is redundant, because in case of error
kimage_file_prepare_segments calls kimage_file_post_load_cleanup, which
will also free those buffers.
This causes two warnings like the following, one for pi->sechdrs and the
other for pi->purgatory_buf:

This fixes a ptrace vs fatal pending signals bug as manifested in
seccomp now that seccomp was reordered to happen after ptrace. The
short version is that seccomp should not attempt to call do_exit()
while fatal signals are pending under a tracer. The existing code was
trying to be as defensively paranoid as possible, but it now ends up
confusing ptrace. Instead, the syscall can just be skipped (which solves
the original concern that the do_exit() was addressing) and normal signal
handling, tracer notification, and process death can happen.
Paraphrasing from the original bug report:
If a tracee task is in a PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP trap, or has been resumed
after such a trap but not yet been scheduled, and another task in the
thread-group calls exit_group(), then the tracee task exits without the
ptracer receiving a PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT notification. Test case here:
https://gist.github.com/khuey/3c43ac247c72cef8c956ca73281c9be7
The bug happens because when __seccomp_filter() detects
fatal_signal_pending(), it calls do_exit() without dequeuing the fatal
signal. When do_exit() sends the PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT notification and
that task is descheduled, __schedule() notices that there is a fatal
signal pending and changes its state from TASK_TRACED to TASK_RUNNING.
That prevents the ptracer's waitpid() from returning the ptrace event.
A more detailed analysis is here:
https://github.com/mozilla/rr/issues/1762#issuecomment-237396255.

- There still was a hole in enforcing cpuset rules, fixed by Li.
- The recent switch to global percpu_rwseom for threadgroup locking
revealed a couple issues in how percpu_rwsem is implemented and
used by cgroup. Balbir found that the read locking section was too
wide unnecessarily including operations which can often depend on
IOs. With percpu_rwsem updates (coming through a different tree)
and reduction of read locking section, all the reported locking
latency issues, including the android one, are resolved.
It looks like we can keep global percpu_rwsem locking for now. If
there actually are cases which can't be resolved, we can go back to
more complex per-signal_struct locking"

Commit 230633d109 ("kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting
to int") prevented writing to sysctl entries when integer overflow
occurs. However, this does not apply to unsigned integers.
Heinrich suggested that we introduce a new option to handle 64 bit
limits and set min as 0 and max as UINT_MAX. This might not work as it
leads to issues similar to __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. Alternatively,
we would need to change the datatype of the entry to 64 bit.
static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table
{
i = (unsigned long *) data; //This cast is causing to read beyond the size of data (u32)
vleft = table->maxlen / sizeof(unsigned long); //vleft is 0 because maxlen is sizeof(u32) which is lesser than sizeof(unsigned long) on x86_64.
Introduce a new proc handler proc_douintvec. Individual proc entries
will need to be updated to use the new handler.
