On ARM systems the dummy clockevent is registered with the cpu
hotplug notifier chain before any other per-cpu clockevent. This
has the side-effect of causing the dummy clockevent to be
registered first in every hotplug sequence. Because the dummy is
first, we'll try to turn the broadcast source on but the code in
tick_device_uses_broadcast() assumes the broadcast source is in
periodic mode and calls tick_broadcast_start_periodic()
unconditionally.On boot this isn't a problem because we typically haven't
switched into oneshot mode yet (if at all). During hotplug, if
the broadcast source isn't in periodic mode we'll replace the
broadcast oneshot handler with the broadcast periodic handler and
start emulating oneshot mode when we shouldn't. Due to the way
the broadcast oneshot handler programs the next_event it's
possible for it to contain KTIME_MAX and cause us to hang the
system when the periodic handler tries to program the next tick.
Fix this by using the appropriate function to start the broadcast
source.Reported-by: Stephen Warren

Pull tracing changes from Steven Rostedt:
"The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes
that were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have
been marked for stable.As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN
about. These include:New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
function.Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
"traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what
caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the
ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it. There's
also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
trickeled in.Highlights:
1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.
Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")From Eliezer Tamir.
2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised

addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
Eric Dumazet.3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from

from Cong Wang.9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
support receiving on multiple UDP ports.10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
Borkmann.11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
From Daniel Borkmann.13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
from Johannes Berg.14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung

"What we need is 1 PATH record that identifies the MQ. The other PATH
records probably should not be there."Fix it to record the mq root as a parent, and flag it such that it
should be hidden from view when the names are logged, since the root of
the mq filesystem isn't terribly interesting. With this change, we get
a single PATH record that looks more like this:type=PATH msg=audit(1368021604.836:484): item=0 name="test_mq" inode=16914
dev=00:0c mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s0In order to do this, a new audit_inode_parent_hidden() function is
added. If we do it this way, then we avoid having the existing callers
of audit_inode needing to do any sort of flag conversion if auditing is
inactive.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton

smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context.
But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq
context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt
handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the
resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support
Xens resume mechanism.linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_*
is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen
change.Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context.

Up to commit 5d33b883a (clocksource: Always verify highres capability)
we had no sanity check when selecting a clocksource, which prevented
that a non highres capable clocksource is used when the system already
switched to highres/nohz mode.The new sanity check works as Alex and Tim found out. It prevents the
TSC from being used. This happens because on x86 the boot process
looks like this:tsc_start_freqency_validation(TSC);
clocksource_register(HPET);
clocksource_done_booting();
clocksource_select()
Selects HPET which is valid for high-resswitch_to_highres();
clocksource_register(TSC);
TSC is not selected, because it is not yet
flagged as VALID_HIGH_RESclocksource_watchdog()
Validates TSC for highres, but that does not make TSC
the current clocksource.Before the sanity check was added, we installed TSC unvalidated which
worked most of the time. If the TSC was really detected as unstable,
then the unstable logic removed it and installed HPET again.The sanity check is correct and needed. So the watchdog needs to kick
a reselection of the clocksource, when it qualifies TSC as a valid
high res clocksource.To solve this, we mark the clocksource which got the flag
CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES set by the watchdog with an new flag
CLOCK_SOURCE_RESELECT and trigger the watchdog thread. The watchdog
thread evaluates the flag and invokes clocksource_select() when set.To avoid that the clocksource_done_booting() code, which is about to
install the first real clocksource anyway, needs to go through
clocksource_select and tick_oneshot_notify() pointlessly, split out
the clocksource_watchdog_kthread() list walk code and invoke the
select/notify only when called from clocksource_watchdog_kthread().So clocksource_done_booting() can utilize the same splitout code
without the select/notify invocation and the clocksource_mutex
unlock/relock dance.Reported-and-tested-by: Alex Shi

When tsk->signal->cputimer->running is 1, signal->cputimer (i.e. per process
timer account) and tsk->sum_sched_runtime (i.e. per thread timer account)
increase at the same pace because update_curr() increases both accounting.However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns
over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop
signal->cputimer accounting.This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.

This line was introduced by fcb11918 ("resources: add arch hook for
preventing allocation in reserved areas"). But the struct tmp was already
assigned to *new in the above line, so this seems superfluous. Just
remove it.Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao

copy_process() does a lot of "chaotic" initializations and checks
CLONE_THREAD twice before it takes tasklist. In particular it sets
"p->group_leader = p" and then changes it again under tasklist if
!thread_group_leader(p).This looks a bit confusing, lets create a single "if (CLONE_THREAD)" block
which initializes ->exit_signal, ->group_leader, and ->tgid.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and
then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID). This means that the lockless
next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid. Say,
"ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice.We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case
find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully
initialized.And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch
copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls
attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list.attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always
called after pid_link->pid was already set.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

Cleanup and preparation for the next changes.
Move the "if (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD)" code down under "if
(likely(p->pid))" and turn it into into the "else" branch. This makes the
process/thread initialization more symmetrical and removes one check.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a
check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged. The check first
looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0.A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first
checked against the security subsystem. This results in the security
subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the
task passing the uid=0 check.This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that
we shouldn't hit the security system at all. We then check sys_resource,
since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem. Lastly
we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin. We don't want to give this
capability many places since it is so powerful.This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we
get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit. (note that
kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can
actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are
launched.)Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

call_usermodehelper_exec() does nothing but returns success if path[0] ==
0. The only user which needs this strange feature is request_module(), it
can check modprobe_path[0] itself like other users do if they want to
detect the "disabled by admin" case.Kill it. Not only it looks strange, it can confuse other callers. And
this allows us to revert 264b83c0 ("usermodehelper: check
subprocess_info->path != NULL"), do_execve(NULL) is safe.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes. The parasite code is
injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE.Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code. If a process has
pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals.This method is not suitable for stopped tasks. A stopped task can have a
few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we will
need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending, because a
state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing.This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask.
I think gdb can use this commands too.
