Prohibit users from probing preempt_schedule(). One way of prohibiting the
user from probing functions is by marking such functions with __kprobes. But
this method doesn't work for those functions, which are already marked to
different section like preempt_schedule() (belongs to __sched section). So we
use blacklist approach to refuse user from probing these functions.
In blacklist approach we populate the blacklisted function's starting address
and its size in kprobe_blacklist structure. Then we verify the user specified
address against start and end of the blacklisted function. So any attempt to
register probe on blacklisted functions will be rejected.

Thomas Koeller had reported an issue where a device that had been making use
of the UART_BUG_TXEN code in the 8250 driver was mistakenly being caught by
the backup timer test, causing the device to work improperly.
To fix this, tighten the test requirements to enable the backup timer

The backup timer is really meant to catch UARTs that don't re-assert the THRE

capabilities: implement per-process securebits
Filesystem capability support makes it possible to do away with (set)uid-0
based privilege and use capabilities instead. That is, with filesystem
support for capabilities but without this present patch, it is (conceptually)
possible to manage a system with capabilities alone and never need to obtain
privilege via (set)uid-0.
Of course, conceptually isn't quite the same as currently possible since few
user applications, certainly not enough to run a viable system, are currently
prepared to leverage capabilities to exercise privilege. Further, many
applications exist that may never get upgraded in this way, and the kernel
will continue to want to support their setuid-0 base privilege needs.
Where pure-capability applications evolve and replace setuid-0 binaries, it is
desirable that there be a mechanisms by which they can contain their
privilege. In addition to leveraging the per-process bounding and inheritable
sets, this should include suppressing the privilege of the uid-0 superuser
from the process' tree of children.
The feature added by this patch can be leveraged to suppress the privilege
associated with (set)uid-0. This suppression requires CAP_SETPCAP to
initiate, and only immediately affects the 'current' process (it is inherited
through fork()/exec()). This reimplementation differs significantly from the
historical support for securebits which was system-wide, unwieldy and which
has ultimately withered to a dead relic in the source of the modern kernel.
With this patch applied a process, that is capable(CAP_SETPCAP), can now drop
all legacy privilege (through uid=0) for itself and all subsequently
fork()'d/exec()'d children with:
prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 0x2f);
This patch represents a no-op unless CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is
enabled at configure time.

mm/nommu.c: return 0 from kobjsize with invalid objects
Don't perform kobjsize operations on objects the kernel doesn't manage.
On Blackfin, drivers can get dma coherent memory by calling a function
dma_alloc_coherent(). We do this in nommu by configuring a chunk of uncached
memory at the top of memory.
Since we don't want the kernel to use the uncached memory, we lie to the
kernel, and tell it that it's max memory is between 0, and the start of the
uncached dma coherent section.
this all works well, until this memory gets exposed into userspace (with a
frame buffer), when you look at the process's maps, it shows the framebuf:
This is outside the "normal" range for the kernel. When the kernel tries to
find the size of this object (when you run ps), it dies in nommu.c in
kobjsize.
BUG_ON(page->index >= MAX_ORDER);
since the page we are referring to is outside what the kernel thinks is it's
max valid memory.
root:~> while [ 1 ]; ps > /dev/null; done

We fixed this by adding a check to reject out of range object pointers as it

This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.
Freeing usemap is not necessary. The pages of usemap may be necessary for
other sections.
If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
of usemap page. (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
which all pages are isolated against page allocater. If it is freed, page
alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon. It will be
disaster. So, this patch keeps it as it is.
memory hotplug: allocate usemap on the section with pgdat
Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.
Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated
on only one page. If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing
other sections. This dependency is not desirable for memory removing.
Pgdat has similar feature. When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last
section for removing on the node. So, if section A has pgdat and section B
has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency
each other.
To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat.
If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be
removed finally.
To free memmap easier, this patch aligns it to page size. Bootmem allocater
may mix some objects in one pages. It's not good for freeing memmap of memory
hot-remove.
This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for
memory-hotremove. Some structures of memory management are allocated by
bootmem. ex) memmap, etc.
To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to
circumstance. This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free
memmaps.
Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information
of users of bootmem (section number or node id). When the section is
removing, kernel can confirm it. By this information, some issues can be
solved.
1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other
section by bootmem, it should/can be free.
2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the
same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be
logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against
page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will
be removed physically soon.
3) When removing section has other section's memmap,
kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed
before it for user. (Not implemented yet)
4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip
memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()).
Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is
just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be
removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch.
(Not implemented yet.)
5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
will be able to be solved too by this.
(Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)
Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags,
and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of
bootmem doesn't use them too.
This patch:
This is to register information which is node or section's id. Kernel can
distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem. This is
basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.
Huge ptes have a special type on s390 and cannot be handled with the standard
pte functions in certain cases, e.g. because of a different location of the
invalid bit. This patch adds some new architecture- specific functions to
hugetlb common code, as a prerequisite for the s390 large page support.
This won't affect other architectures in functionality, but I need to add some
new dummy inline functions to the headers.

A cow break on a hugetlbfs page with page_count > 1 will set a new pte with
set_huge_pte_at(), w/o any tlb flush operation. The old pte will remain in
the tlb and subsequent write access to the page will result in a page fault
loop, for as long as it may take until the tlb is flushed from somewhere else.
This patch introduces an architecture-specific huge_ptep_clear_flush()
function, which is called before the the set_huge_pte_at() in hugetlb_cow().
ATTENTION: This is just a nop on all architectures for now, the s390
implementation will come with our large page patch later. Other architectures
should define their own huge_ptep_clear_flush() if needed.

This patch moves all architecture functions for hugetlb to architecture header
files (include/asm-foo/hugetlb.h) and converts all macros to inline functions.
It also removes (!) ARCH_HAS_HUGEPAGE_ONLY_RANGE,
ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_FREE_PGD_RANGE, ARCH_HAS_PREPARE_HUGEPAGE_RANGE,
ARCH_HAS_SETCLEAR_HUGE_PTE and ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_PREFAULT_HOOK.
Getting rid of the ARCH_HAS_xxx #ifdef and macro fugliness should increase
readability and maintainability, at the price of some code duplication. An
asm-generic common part would have reduced the loc, but we would end up with
new ARCH_HAS_xxx defines eventually.

mempolicy: use struct mempolicy pointer in shmem_sb_info
This patch replaces the mempolicy mode, mode_flags, and nodemask in the
shmem_sb_info struct with a struct mempolicy pointer, initialized to NULL.
This removes dependency on the details of mempolicy from shmem.c and hugetlbfs
inode.c and simplifies the interfaces.
mpol_parse_str() in mempolicy.c is changed to return, via a pointer to a
pointer arg, a struct mempolicy pointer on success. For MPOL_DEFAULT, the
returned pointer is NULL. Further, mpol_parse_str() now takes a 'no_context'
argument that causes the input nodemask to be stored in the w.user_nodemask of
the created mempolicy for use when the mempolicy is installed in a tmpfs inode
shared policy tree. At that time, any cpuset contextualization is applied to
the original input nodemask. This preserves the previous behavior where the
input nodemask was stored in the superblock. We can think of the returned
mempolicy as "context free".
Because mpol_parse_str() is now calling mpol_new(), we can remove from
mpol_to_str() the semantic checks that mpol_new() already performs.
Add 'no_context' parameter to mpol_to_str() to specify that it should format
the nodemask in w.user_nodemask for 'bind' and 'interleave' policies.
Change mpol_shared_policy_init() to take a pointer to a "context free" struct
mempolicy and to create a new, "contextualized" mempolicy using the mode,
mode_flags and user_nodemask from the input mempolicy.
Note: we know that the mempolicy passed to mpol_to_str() or
mpol_shared_policy_init() from a tmpfs superblock is "context free". This
is currently the only instance thereof. However, if we found more uses for
this concept, and introduced any ambiguity as to whether a mempolicy was
context free or not, we could add another internal mode flag to identify
context free mempolicies. Then, we could remove the 'no_context' argument
from mpol_to_str().
Added shmem_get_sbmpol() to return a reference counted superblock mempolicy,
if one exists, to pass to mpol_shared_policy_init(). We must add the
reference under the sb stat_lock to prevent races with replacement of the mpol
by remount. This reference is removed in mpol_shared_policy_init().

This patch extends the memory policy string parsing function to display

mempolicy: rework shmem mpol parsing and display
mm/shmem.c currently contains functions to parse and display memory policy
strings for the tmpfs 'mpol' mount option. Move this to mm/mempolicy.c with
the rest of the mempolicy support. With subsequent patches, we'll be able to
remove knowledge of the details [mode, flags, policy, ...] completely from
shmem.c
1) replace shmem_parse_mpol() in mm/shmem.c with mpol_parse_str() in
mm/mempolicy.c. Rework to use the policy_types[] array [used by
mpol_to_str()] to look up mode by name.
2) use mpol_to_str() to format policy for shmem_show_mpol(). mpol_to_str()
expects a pointer to a struct mempolicy, so temporarily construct one.
This will be replaced with a reference to a struct mempolicy in the tmpfs
superblock in a subsequent patch.
NOTE 1: I changed mpol_to_str() to use a colon ':' rather than an equal
sign '=' as the nodemask delimiter to match mpol_parse_str() and the
tmpfs/shmem mpol mount option formatting that now uses mpol_to_str(). This
is a user visible change to numa_maps, but then the addition of the mode
flags already changed the display. It makes sense to me to have the mounts
and numa_maps display the policy in the same format. However, if anyone
objects strongly, I can pass the desired nodemask delimeter as an arg to
mpol_to_str().
Note 2: Like show_numa_map(), I don't check the return code from
mpol_to_str(). I do use a longer buffer than the one provided by
show_numa_map(), which seems to have sufficed so far.

mpol_to_str() for formatting tmpfs [shmem] mpol mount options, allowing us to
remove essentially duplicate code in mm/shmem.c. This patch cleans up
mpol_to_str() generally and in preparation for that patch.
1) show_numa_maps() is not checking the return code from mpol_to_str().
There's not a lot we can do in this context if mpol_to_str() did return the
error [insufficient space in buffer]. Proposed "solution": just check,
under DEBUG_VM, that callers are providing sufficient buffer space for the
policy, flags, and a few nodes. This way, we'll get some display.
show_numa_maps() is providing a 50-byte buffer, so it won't trip this
check. 50-bytes should be sufficient unless one has a large number of
nodes in a very sparse nodemask.
2) The display of the new mode flags ["static" & "relative"] was set up to
display multiple flags, separated by a "bar" '|'. However, this support is
incomplete--e.g., need_bar was never incremented; and currently, these two
flags are mutually exclusive. So remove the "bar" support, for now, and
only display one flag.
3) Use snprint() to format flags, so as not to overflow the buffer. Not
that it's ever happed, AFAIK.

mempolicy: use MPOL_F_LOCAL to Indicate Preferred Local Policy
Now that we're using "preferred local" policy for system default, we need to
make this as fast as possible. Because of the variable size of the mempolicy

different cacheline from the mode. This can result in accessing an extra
cacheline in the normal case of system default policy. Suspect this is the
cause of an observed 2-3% slowdown in page fault testing relative to kernel
without this patch series.
To alleviate this, use an internal mode flag, MPOL_F_LOCAL in the mempolicy
flags member which is guaranteed [?] to be in the same cacheline as the mode
itself.

mempolicy: mPOL_PREFERRED cleanups for "local allocation"
Here are a couple of "cleanups" for MPOL_PREFERRED behavior when
v.preferred_node < 0 -- i.e., "local allocation":
1) [do_]get_mempolicy() calls the now renamed get_policy_nodemask()
to fetch the nodemask associated with a policy. Currently,
get_policy_nodemask() returns the set of nodes with memory, when
the policy 'mode' is 'PREFERRED, and the preferred_node is < 0.
Change to return an empty nodemask, as this is what was specified
to achieve "local allocation".
2) When a task is moved into a [new] cpuset, mpol_rebind_policy() is
called to adjust any task and vma policy nodes to be valid in the
new cpuset. However, when the policy is MPOL_PREFERRED, and the
preferred_node is <0, no rebind is necessary. The "local allocation"
indication is valid in any cpuset. Existing code will "do the right
thing" because node_remap() will just return the argument node when
it is outside of the valid range of node ids. However, I think it is
clearer and cleaner to skip the remap explicitly in this case.
3) mpol_to_str() produces a printable, "human readable" string from a
struct mempolicy. For MPOL_PREFERRED with preferred_node <0, show
"local", as this indicates local allocation, as the task migrates
among nodes. Note that this matches the usage of "local allocation"
in libnuma() and numactl. Without this change, I believe that node_set()
[via set_bit()] will set bit 31, resulting in a misleading display.

mempolicy: use MPOL_PREFERRED for system-wide default policy
Currently, when one specifies MPOL_DEFAULT via a NUMA memory policy API
[set_mempolicy(), mbind() and internal versions], the kernel simply installs a
NULL struct mempolicy pointer in the appropriate context: task policy, vma
policy, or shared policy. This causes any use of that policy to "fall back"
to the next most specific policy scope.
The only use of MPOL_DEFAULT to mean "local allocation" is in the system
default policy. This requires extra checks/cases for MPOL_DEFAULT in many
mempolicy.c functions.
There is another, "preferred" way to specify local allocation via the APIs.
That is using the MPOL_PREFERRED policy mode with an empty nodemask.
Internally, the empty nodemask gets converted to a preferred_node id of '-1'.
All internal usage of MPOL_PREFERRED will convert the '-1' to the id of the
node local to the cpu where the allocation occurs.
System default policy, except during boot, is hard-coded to "local
allocation". By using the MPOL_PREFERRED mode with a negative value of
preferred node for system default policy, MPOL_DEFAULT will never occur in the
'policy' member of a struct mempolicy. Thus, we can remove all checks for
MPOL_DEFAULT when converting policy to a node id/zonelist in the allocation
paths.
In slab_node() return local node id when policy pointer is NULL. No need to
set a pol value to take the switch default. Replace switch default with
BUG()--i.e., shouldn't happen.
With this patch MPOL_DEFAULT is only used in the APIs, including internal
calls to do_set_mempolicy() and in the display of policy in
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps. It always means "fall back" to the the next most
specific policy scope. This simplifies the description of memory policies
quite a bit, with no visible change in behavior.
get_mempolicy() continues to return MPOL_DEFAULT and an empty nodemask when
the requested policy [task or vma/shared] is NULL. These are the values one
would supply via set_mempolicy() or mbind() to achieve that condition--default
behavior.
This patch updates Documentation to reflect this change.

After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my
earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of
overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually
fast paths. In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the
unref for interleave policies.
A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known
errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting.
This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes,
simplifies the code. Maybe I'll get it right this time.
See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of
memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch.
Summary:
Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for
shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared
policies. So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference
counting added by my previous attempt. It then unrefs only shared policies
when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put]
helper function introduced by this patch.
Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma
containing just the policy. read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma()
multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in
this case. To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and
remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy. This copy occurs before reading
a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue
here.
I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the
shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a
conditional free. The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that
the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures
that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

mempolicy: mark shared policies for unref
As part of yet another rework of mempolicy reference counting, we want to be
able to identify shared policies efficiently, because they have an extra ref
taken on lookup that needs to be removed when we're finished using the policy.
Note: the extra ref is required because the policies are
shared between tasks/processes and can be changed/freed
by one task while another task is using them--e.g., for
page allocation.
Building on David Rientjes mempolicy "mode flags" enhancement, this patch
indicates a "shared" policy by setting a new MPOL_F_SHARED flag in the flags
member of the struct mempolicy added by David. MPOL_F_SHARED, and any future
"internal mode flags" are reserved from bit zero up, as they will never be
passed in the upper bits of the mode argument of a mempolicy API.
I set the MPOL_F_SHARED flag when the policy is installed in the shared policy
rb-tree. Don't need/want to clear the flag when removing from the tree as the
mempolicy is freed [unref'd] internally to the sp_delete() function. However,
a task could hold another reference on this mempolicy from a prior lookup. We
need the MPOL_F_SHARED flag to stay put so that any tasks holding a ref will
unref, eventually freeing, the mempolicy.
A later patch in this series will introduce a function to conditionally unref
[mpol_free] a policy. The MPOL_F_SHARED flag is one reason [currently the
only reason] to unref/free a policy via the conditional free.
