2015-09-16Revert "sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global ↵Tejun Heo
percpu_rwsem" This reverts commit d59cfc09c32a2ae31f1c3bc2983a0cd79afb3f14. d59cfc09c32a ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc0e ("cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned out to be too expensive. Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue. For now, revert the two commits to restore per-process rwsem. They will be re-applied for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.

2015-08-12userns,pidns: Force thread group sharing, not signal handler sharing.Eric W. Biederman
The code that places signals in signal queues computes the uids, gids, and pids at the time the signals are enqueued. Which means that tasks that share signal queues must be in the same pid and user namespaces. Sharing signal handlers is fine, but bizarre. So make the code in fork and userns_install clearer by only testing for what is functionally necessary. Also update the comment in unshare about unsharing a user namespace to be a little more explicit and make a little more sense. Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2015-08-12unshare: Unsharing a thread does not require unsharing a vmEric W. Biederman
In the logic in the initial commit of unshare made creating a new thread group for a process, contingent upon creating a new memory address space for that process. That is wrong. Two separate processes in different thread groups can share a memory address space and clone allows creation of such proceses. This is significant because it was observed that mm_users > 1 does not mean that a process is multi-threaded, as reading /proc/PID/maps temporarily increments mm_users, which allows other processes to (accidentally) interfere with unshare() calls. Correct the check in check_unshare_flags() to test for !thread_group_empty() for CLONE_THREAD, CLONE_SIGHAND, and CLONE_VM. For sighand->count > 1 for CLONE_SIGHAND and CLONE_VM. For !current_is_single_threaded instead of mm_users > 1 for CLONE_VM. By using the correct checks in unshare this removes the possibility of an accidental denial of service attack. Additionally using the correct checks in unshare ensures that only an explicit unshare(CLONE_VM) can possibly trigger the slow path of current_is_single_threaded(). As an explict unshare(CLONE_VM) is pointless it is not expected there are many applications that make that call.

2015-07-18x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'Dave Hansen
The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'. But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance). Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically allocate already. This saves from doing an extra slab allocation at fork(). The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything and the end of the task_struct. But, I think the BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too fragile.

2015-07-14cgroup: allow a cgroup subsystem to reject a forkAleksa Sarai
Add a new cgroup subsystem callback can_fork that conditionally states whether or not the fork is accepted or rejected by a cgroup policy. In addition, add a cancel_fork callback so that if an error occurs later in the forking process, any state modified by can_fork can be reverted. Allow for a private opaque pointer to be passed from cgroup_can_fork to cgroup_post_fork, allowing for the fork state to be stored by each subsystem separately. Also add a tagging system for cgroup_subsys.h to allow for CGROUP_<TAG> enumerations to be be defined and used.

2015-06-25clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magicJosh Triplett
clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific calling conventions. In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel. That's a massive hack, and it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system call entry point across architectures. The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt into this. These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely uncontroversial and have acks. I'd like to go ahead and submit these two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. However, I'm also happy to wait and send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if anyone would prefer that. This patch (of 2): clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local storage area for the new thread. sys_clone declares an int argument tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along that argument. Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls in). Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific argument-passing order. This prevents introducing a new version of the clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific position of the tls argument. However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments. Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into, and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument. Change sys_clone's tls argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass that down to copy_thread_tls. Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone syscall.

2015-05-26sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsemTejun Heo
The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem to synchronize against threadgroup changes. This per-process rwsem adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across multiple processes. This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader side and contained in cgroups proper. This patch converts one-to-one. This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however, cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

Until now, pagefault_disable()/pagefault_enabled() used the preempt count to track whether in an environment with pagefaults disabled (can be queried via in_atomic()). This patch introduces a separate counter in task_struct to count the level of pagefault_disable() calls. We'll keep manipulating the preempt count to retain compatibility to existing pagefault handlers. It is now possible to verify whether in a pagefault_disable() envionment by calling pagefault_disabled(). In contrast to in_atomic() it will not be influenced by preempt_enable()/preempt_disable().

2015-05-08sched, timer: Replace spinlocks with atomics in thread_group_cputimer(), to ↵Jason Low
improve scalability While running a database workload, we found a scalability issue with itimers. Much of the problem was caused by the thread_group_cputimer spinlock. Each time we account for group system/user time, we need to obtain a thread_group_cputimer's spinlock to update the timers. On larger systems (such as a 16 socket machine), this caused more than 30% of total time spent trying to obtain this kernel lock to update these group timer stats. This patch converts the timers to 64-bit atomic variables and use atomic add to update them without a lock. With this patch, the percent of total time spent updating thread group cputimer timers was reduced from 30% down to less than 1%. Note: On 32-bit systems using the generic 64-bit atomics, this causes sample_group_cputimer() to take locks 3 times instead of just 1 time. However, we tested this patch on a 32-bit system ARM system using the generic atomics and did not find the overhead to be much of an issue. An explanation for why this isn't an issue is that 32-bit systems usually have small numbers of CPUs, and cacheline contention from extra spinlocks called periodically is not really apparent on smaller systems.

2015-04-17oprofile: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_fileDavidlohr Bueso
sync_buffer() needs the mmap_sem for two distinct operations, both only occurring upon user context switch handling: 1) Dealing with the exe_file. 2) Adding the dcookie data as we need to lookup the vma that backs it. This is done via add_sample() and add_data(). This patch isolates 1), for it will no longer need the mmap_sem for serialization. However, for now, make of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissappear underneath us while doing the get dcookie. As a consequence, for 2) we move the mmap_sem locking into where we really need it, in lookup_dcookie(). The benefits are twofold: reduce mmap_sem hold times, and cleaner code.

2015-04-17prctl: avoid using mmap_sem for exe_file serializationDavidlohr Bueso
Oleg cleverly suggested using xchg() to set the new mm->exe_file instead of calling set_mm_exe_file() which requires some form of serialization -- mmap_sem in this case. For archs that do not have atomic rmw instructions we still fallback to a spinlock alternative, so this should always be safe. As such, we only need the mmap_sem for looking up the backing vm_file, which can be done sharing the lock. Naturally, this means we need to manually deal with both the new and old file reference counting, and we need not worry about the MMF_EXE_FILE_CHANGED bits, which can probably be deleted in the future anyway.

2015-04-17fork: report pid reservation failure properlyMichal Hocko
copy_process will report any failure in alloc_pid as ENOMEM currently which is misleading because the pid allocation might fail not only when the memory is short but also when the pid space is consumed already. The current man page even mentions this case: : EAGAIN : : A system-imposed limit on the number of threads was encountered. : There are a number of limits that may trigger this error: the : RLIMIT_NPROC soft resource limit (set via setrlimit(2)), which : limits the number of processes and threads for a real user ID, was : reached; the kernel's system-wide limit on the number of processes : and threads, /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max, was reached (see : proc(5)); or the maximum number of PIDs, /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, : was reached (see proc(5)). so the current behavior is also incorrect wrt. documentation. POSIX man page also suggest returing EAGAIN when the process count limit is reached. This patch simply propagates error code from alloc_pid and makes sure we return -EAGAIN due to reservation failure. This will make behavior of fork closer to both our documentation and POSIX. alloc_pid might alsoo fail when the reaper in the pid namespace is dead (the namespace basically disallows all new processes) and there is no good error code which would match documented ones. We have traditionally returned ENOMEM for this case which is misleading as well but as per Eric W. Biederman this behavior is documented in man pid_namespaces(7) : If the "init" process of a PID namespace terminates, the kernel : terminates all of the processes in the namespace via a SIGKILL signal. : This behavior reflects the fact that the "init" process is essential for : the correct operation of a PID namespace. In this case, a subsequent : fork(2) into this PID namespace will fail with the error ENOMEM; it is : not possible to create a new processes in a PID namespace whose "init" : process has terminated. and introducing a new error code would be too risky so let's stick to ENOMEM for this case.

2015-02-11mm: fix false-positive warning on exit due mm_nr_pmds(mm)Kirill A. Shutemov
The problem is that we check nr_ptes/nr_pmds in exit_mmap() which happens *before* pgd_free(). And if an arch does pte/pmd allocation in pgd_alloc() and frees them in pgd_free() we see offset in counters by the time of the checks. We tried to workaround this by offsetting expected counter value according to FIRST_USER_ADDRESS for both nr_pte and nr_pmd in exit_mmap(). But it doesn't work in some cases: 1. ARM with LPAE enabled also has non-zero USER_PGTABLES_CEILING, but upper addresses occupied with huge pmd entries, so the trick with offsetting expected counter value will get really ugly: we will have to apply it nr_pmds, but not nr_ptes. 2. Metag has non-zero FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, but doesn't do allocation pte/pmd page tables allocation in pgd_alloc(), just setup a pgd entry which is allocated at boot and shared accross all processes. The proposal is to move the check to check_mm() which happens *after* pgd_free() and do proper accounting during pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() which would bring counters to zero if nothing leaked.

2015-02-11mm: account pmd page tables to the processKirill A. Shutemov
Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE. The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0. #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30) #define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21) #define NR_PUD 130000 int main(void) { char *addr = NULL; unsigned long i; prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE); for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) { addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); break; } *addr = 'x'; munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE); mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) perror("re-mmap"), exit(1); } printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n", getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10); return pause(); } The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the same way we account PTE. The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases: - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting the table to all processes who share it. - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork. - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity check on exit(2). Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by oom-killer. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2014-09-08time, signal: Protect resource use statistics with seqlockRik van Riel
Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a lock. The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all). Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being completely serialized on large systems. This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling functions. In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime(). This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

This patch (of 6): The i_mmap_writable field counts existing writable mappings of an address_space. To allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings, make this counter signed and prevent new writable mappings if it is negative. This is modelled after i_writecount and DENYWRITE. This will be required by the shmem-sealing infrastructure to prevent any new writable mappings after the WRITE seal has been set. In case there exists a writable mapping, this operation will fail with EBUSY. Note that we rely on the fact that iff you already own a writable mapping, you can increase the counter without using the helpers. This is the same that we do for i_writecount.

2014-08-08shm: make exit_shm work proportional to task activityJack Miller
This is small set of patches our team has had kicking around for a few versions internally that fixes tasks getting hung on shm_exit when there are many threads hammering it at once. Anton wrote a simple test to cause the issue: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/bust_shm_exit.c Before applying this patchset, this test code will cause either hanging tracebacks or pthread out of memory errors. After this patchset, it will still produce output like: root@somehost:~# ./bust_shm_exit 1024 160 ... INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: {} (detected by 116, t=2111 jiffies, g=241, c=240, q=7113) INFO: Stall ended before state dump start ... But the task will continue to run along happily, so we consider this an improvement over hanging, even if it's a bit noisy. This patch (of 3): exit_shm obtains the ipc_ns shm rwsem for write and holds it while it walks every shared memory segment in the namespace. Thus the amount of work is related to the number of shm segments in the namespace not the number of segments that might need to be cleaned. In addition, this occurs after the task has been notified the thread has exited, so the number of tasks waiting for the ns shm rwsem can grow without bound until memory is exausted. Add a list to the task struct of all shmids allocated by this task. Init the list head in copy_process. Use the ns->rwsem for locking. Add segments after id is added, remove before removing from id. On unshare of NEW_IPCNS orphan any ids as if the task had exited, similar to handling of semaphore undo. I chose a define for the init sequence since its a simple list init, otherwise it would require a function call to avoid include loops between the semaphore code and the task struct. Converting the list_del to list_del_init for the unshare cases would remove the exit followed by init, but I left it blow up if not inited.

Obviously, we should reset the counter on fork if !CLONE_VM, just like we do with locked_vm, but currently we don't. Let's fix it. This patch will fix the contents of /proc/pid/status:VmPin. ib_umem_get[infiniband] and perf_mmap still check pinned_vm against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. It's left from the times when pinned pages were accounted under locked_vm, but today it looks wrong. It isn't clear how we should deal with it. We still have some drivers accounting pinned pages under mm->locked_vm - this is what commit bc3e53f682d9 was fighting against. It's infiniband/usnic and vfio.

2014-08-08fork/exec: cleanup mm initializationVladimir Davydov
mm initialization on fork/exec is spread all over the place, which makes the code look inconsistent. We have mm_init(), which is supposed to init/nullify mm's internals, but it doesn't init all the fields it should: - on fork ->mmap,mm_rb,vmacache_seqnum,map_count,mm_cpumask,locked_vm are zeroed in dup_mmap(); - on fork ->pmd_huge_pte is zeroed in dup_mm(), immediately before calling mm_init(); - ->cpu_vm_mask_var ptr is initialized by mm_init_cpumask(), which is called before mm_init() on both fork and exec; - ->context is initialized by init_new_context(), which is called after mm_init() on both fork and exec; Let's consolidate all the initializations in mm_init() to make the code look cleaner.

2014-08-08mm: memcontrol: use page lists for uncharge batchingJohannes Weiner
Pages are now uncharged at release time, and all sources of batched uncharges operate on lists of pages. Directly use those lists, and get rid of the per-task batching state. This also batches statistics accounting, in addition to the res counter charges, to reduce IRQ-disabling and re-enabling.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines. Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :) - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures. - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users. - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it definitely belongs into the ugly code museum. - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo. - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable for correlation of traces accross separate machines. - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd. - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code. - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code. - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC specific timers. [ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ] - Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for a few obnoxious strongholds. - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place" * 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (114 commits) timekeeping: Fixup typo in update_vsyscall_old definition clocksource: document some basic timekeeping concepts timekeeping: Use cached ntp_tick_length when accumulating error timekeeping: Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz timekeeping: Minor fixup for timespec64->timespec assignment ftrace: Provide trace clocks monotonic timekeeping: Provide fast and NMI safe access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC seqcount: Add raw_write_seqcount_latch() seqcount: Provide raw_read_seqcount() timekeeping: Use tk_read_base as argument for timekeeping_get_ns() timekeeping: Create struct tk_read_base and use it in struct timekeeper timekeeping: Restructure the timekeeper some more clocksource: Get rid of cycle_last clocksource: Move cycle_last validation to core code clocksource: Make delta calculation a function wireless: ath9k: Get rid of timespec conversions drm: vmwgfx: Use nsec based interfaces drm: i915: Use nsec based interfaces timekeeping: Provide ktime_get_raw() hangcheck-timer: Use ktime_get_ns() ...
