The Kconfig controlling build of this code is currently:
drivers/connector/Kconfig:config PROC_EVENTS
drivers/connector/Kconfig: bool "Report process events to userspace"...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the two modular references, so that when reading the driver
there is no doubt it is builtin-only.Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.Cc: Evgeniy Polyakov

The proc connector messages include a sequence number, allowing userspace
programs to detect lost messages. However, performing this detection is
currently more difficult than necessary, since netlink messages can be
delivered to the application out-of-order. To fix this, leave pre-emption
disabled during cn_netlink_send(), and use GFP_NOWAIT.The following was written as a test case. Building the kernel w/ make -j32
proved a reliable way to generate out-of-order cn_proc messages.int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
static uint32_t last_seq[CPU_SETSIZE], seq;
int cpu, fd;
struct sockaddr_nl sa;
struct __attribute__((aligned(NLMSG_ALIGNTO))) {
struct nlmsghdr nl_hdr;
struct __attribute__((__packed__)) {
struct cn_msg cn_msg;
struct proc_event cn_proc;
};
} rmsg;
struct __attribute__((aligned(NLMSG_ALIGNTO))) {
struct nlmsghdr nl_hdr;
struct __attribute__((__packed__)) {
struct cn_msg cn_msg;
enum proc_cn_mcast_op cn_mcast;
};
} smsg;fd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_CONNECTOR);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("socket");
}sa.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;
sa.nl_groups = CN_IDX_PROC;
sa.nl_pid = getpid();
if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa)) < 0) {
perror("bind");
}memset(&smsg, 0, sizeof(smsg));
smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_len = sizeof(smsg);
smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_pid = getpid();
smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_type = NLMSG_DONE;
smsg.cn_msg.id.idx = CN_IDX_PROC;

…d avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski

In af3e095a1fb4, Erik Jacobsen fixed one type of unaligned access
bug for ia64 by converting a 64-bit write to use put_unaligned().
Unfortunately, since gcc will convert a short memset() to a series
of appropriately-aligned stores, the problem is now visible again
on tilegx, where the memset that zeros out proc_event is converted
to three 64-bit stores, causing an unaligned access panic.A better fix for the original problem is to ensure that proc_event
is aligned to 8 bytes here. We can do that relatively easily by
arranging to start the struct cn_msg aligned to 8 bytes and then
offset by 4 bytes. Doing so means that the immediately following
proc_event structure is then correctly aligned to 8 bytes.The result is that the memset() stores are now aligned, and as an
added benefit, we can remove the put_unaligned() calls in the code.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very
many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.From Eric Dumazet.
10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are
a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
allocator c) less waste of space.From Eric Dumazet.

12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.

Add an event to monitor comm value changes of tasks. Such an event
becomes vital, if someone desires to control threads of a process in
different manner.A natural characteristic of threads is its comm value, and helpfully
application developers have an opportunity to change it in runtime.
Reporting about such events via proc connector allows to fine-grain
monitoring and control potentials, for instance a process control daemon
listening to proc connector and following comm value policies can place
specific threads to assigned cgroup partitions.It might be possible to achieve a pale partial one-shot likeness without
this update, if an application changes comm value of a thread generator
task beforehand, then a new thread is cloned, and after that proc
connector listener gets the fork event and reads new thread's comm value
from procfs stat file, but this change visibly simplifies and extends the
matter.Signed-off-by: Vladimir Zapolskiy

This change adds a procfs connector event, which is emitted on every
successful process tracer attach or detach.If some process connects to other one, kernelspace connector reports
process id and thread group id of both these involved processes. On
disconnection null process id is returned.Such an event allows to create a simple automated userspace mechanism
to be aware about processes connecting to others, therefore predefined
process policies can be applied to them if needed.Note, a detach signal is emitted only in case, if a tracer process
explicitly executes PTRACE_DETACH request. In other cases like tracee
or tracer exit detach event from proc connector is not reported.Signed-off-by: Vladimir Zapolskiy

queue, which is not valid anymore. This patch converts connector to do
synchronous message processing by invoking the registered callback handler
directly from the netlink receive function.In order to avoid invoking the callback with connector locks held, a
reference count is added to struct cn_callback_entry, the reference
is taken when finding a matching callback entry on the device's queue_list
and released after the callback handler has been invoked.Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

The patch was originally in the use cpuops patchset but it needs an
inc_return and is therefore dependent on an extension of the cpu ops.
Fixed up and verified that it compiles.get_seq can benefit from this_cpu_operations. Address calculation is
avoided and the increment is done using an xadd.Cc: Scott James Remnant
