When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes
from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time. This patch
adds auxilary prctl codes for that.While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved
into calculation of /proc//statm output) the start_brk and brk values
are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion.
Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous
operation. So to restrict access the following requirements applied to
prctl calls:- The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted.
- For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate
VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags,
such as:
- code segment must be executable but not writable;
- data segment must not be executable.start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not
exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit.Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check.
Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support
otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: cache current->mm in a local, saving 200 bytes text]

When an oops causes a panic and panic prints another backtrace it's pretty
common to have the original oops data be scrolled away on a 80x50 screen.The second backtrace is quite redundant and not needed anyways.
So don't print the panic backtrace when oops_in_progress is true.

The sysctl works on the current task's pid namespace, getting and setting
its last_pid field.Writing is allowed for CAP_SYS_ADMIN-capable tasks thus making it possible
to create a task with desired pid value. This ability is required badly
for the checkpoint/restore in userspace.This approach suits all the parties for now.

When two CPUs call panic at the same time there is a possible race
condition that can stop kdump. The first CPU calls crash_kexec() and the
second CPU calls smp_send_stop() in panic() before crash_kexec() finished
on the first CPU. So the second CPU stops the first CPU and therefore
kdump fails:1st CPU:
panic()->crash_kexec()->mutex_trylock(&kexec_mutex)-> do kdump2nd CPU:
panic()->crash_kexec()->kexec_mutex already held by 1st CPU
->smp_send_stop()-> stop 1st CPU (stop kdump)This patch fixes the problem by introducing a spinlock in panic that
allows only one CPU to process crash_kexec() and the subsequent panic
code.All other CPUs call the weak function panic_smp_self_stop() that stops the
CPU itself. This function can be overloaded by architecture code. For
example "tile" can use their lower-power "nap" instruction for that.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has been
defined with the "crashkernel" parameter. In this case "crashk_res" is
not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0. Unfortunately
resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case. This breaks the s390
implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages().To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in
crash_shrink_memory(). "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not
initialized. With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when
"crashk_res" is not initialized. It will return "0" for "echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size".In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs.
"ret = 0" logic as suggested by Simon Horman.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

Eric and David reported dead machines and traced it to commit
a195f004 ("sched: Fix load-balance lock-breaking"), it turns out
there's still a scenario where we can end up re-trying forever.Since there is no strict forward progress guarantee in the
load-balance iteration we can get stuck re-retrying the same
task-set over and over.Creating a forward progress guarantee with the existing
structure is somewhat non-trivial, for now simply terminate the
retry loop after a few tries.Reported-by: Eric Dumazet

ipc/mqueue.c: for __SI_MESQ, convert the uid being sent to recipient's
user namespace. (new, thanks Oleg)__send_signal: convert current's uid to the recipient's user namespace
for any siginfo which is not SI_FROMKERNEL (patch from Oleg, thanks
again :)do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's
user namespaceptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before
including in signal to current. IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't
matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting
the value currently being set is misleading.Changelog:
Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to
simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating
(which uid into which namespace). Passing the target task would
make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because
current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns).
Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock
in ptrace_signal().
Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an
ancestor or unrelated user namespace. Pass that on to __send_signal,
which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed.
Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch. On top of that, handle all
SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is
current in those cases.

alloc_workqueue() currently expects the passed in @name pointer to remain
accessible. This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that the whole wq
is being dynamically allocated. This patch updates alloc_workqueue() and
friends to take printf format string instead of opaque string and matching
varargs at the end. The name is allocated together with the wq and
formatted.alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs
handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to
alloc_workqueue().None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as constant
name and this change shouldn't cause any problem.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: use __printf]

oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer. One of
problem is that it's inherited at fork(). When a daemon set oom_score_adj
and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set.This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds
3 trace points.
- creating new task
- renaming a task (exec)
- set oom_score_adjTo debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enableoutput will be like this.

drivers that got changed:
- arch/arm/mach-exynos/cpu.c
- arch/arm/mach-exynos/irq-eint.c
- arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/common.c
- arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/cpu.c

- arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/common.c
- arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/cpu.h
- arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c
and fix up cpu_is_hotpluggable() as per Greg in include/linux/cpu.h

This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
