69cd9eba38 futex: avoid race between requeue and wake
Jan Stancek reported:
 "pthread_cond_broadcast/4-1.c testcase from openposix testsuite (LTP)
  occasionally fails, because some threads fail to wake up.

  Testcase creates 5 threads, which are all waiting on same condition.
  Main thread then calls pthread_cond_broadcast() without holding mutex,
  which calls:

      futex(uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, uaddr2, ..)

  This immediately wakes up single thread A, which unlocks mutex and
  tries to wake up another thread:

      futex(uaddr2, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1)

  If thread A manages to call futex_wake() before any waiters are
  requeued for uaddr2, no other thread is woken up"

The ordering constraints for the hash bucket waiter counting are that
the waiter counts have to be incremented _before_ getting the spinlock
(because the spinlock acts as part of the memory barrier), but the
"requeue" operation didn't honor those rules, and nobody had even
thought about that case.

This fairly simple patch just increments the waiter count for the target
hash bucket (hb2) when requeing a futex before taking the locks.  It
then decrements them again after releasing the lock - the code that
actually moves the futex(es) between hash buckets will do the additional
required waiter count housekeeping.

64b47e8fdb lglock: map to spinlock when !CONFIG_SMP
When the system has only one CPU, lglock is effectively a spinlock; map
it directly to spinlock to eliminate the indirection and duplicate code.

In addition to removing overhead, this drops 1.6k of code with a
defconfig modified to have !CONFIG_SMP, and 1.1k with a minimal config.

08f141d3db modules: use raw_cpu_write for initialization of per cpu refcount.
The initialization of a structure is not subject to synchronization.
The use of __this_cpu would trigger a false positive with the additional
preemption checks for __this_cpu ops.

So simply disable the check through the use of raw_cpu ops.

80df284765 hung_task: check the value of "sysctl_hung_task_timeout_sec"
As sysctl_hung_task_timeout_sec is unsigned long, when this value is
larger then LONG_MAX/HZ, the function schedule_timeout_interruptible in
watchdog will return immediately without sleep and with print :

  schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83

and then the funtion watchdog will call schedule_timeout_interruptible
again and again.  The screen will be filled with

	"schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83"

This patch does some check and correction in sysctl, to let the function
schedule_timeout_interruptible allways get the valid parameter.

7c733eb3ea wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED doesn't work if a zombie leader is traced by another process
Even if the main thread is dead the process still can stop/continue.
However, if the leader is ptraced wait_consider_task(ptrace => false)
always skips wait_task_stopped/wait_task_continued, so WSTOPPED or
WCONTINUED can never work for the natural parent in this case.

Move the "A zombie ptracee is only visible to its ptracer" check into the
"if (!delay_group_leader(p))" block.  ->notask_error is cleared by the
"fall through" code below.

This depends on the previous change, wait_task_stopped/continued must be
avoided if !delay_group_leader() and the tracer is ->real_parent.
Otherwise WSTOPPED|WEXITED could wrongly report "stopped" when the child
is already dead (single-threaded or not).  If it is traced by another task
then the "stopped" state is fine until the debugger detaches and reveals a
zombie state.

Stupid test-case:

	void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		sleep(1);	// wait for zombie leader
		raise(SIGSTOP);
		exit(0x13);
		return NULL;
	}

	int run_child(void)
	{
		pthread_t thread;

		if (!fork()) {
			int tracee = getppid();

			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, 0,0) == 0);
			do
				ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, 0,0);
			while (wait(NULL) > 0);

			return 0;
		}

		sleep(1);	// wait for PTRACE_ATTACH
		assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0);
		pthread_exit(NULL);
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		int child, stat;

		child = fork();
		if (!child)
			return run_child();

		assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WSTOPPED));
		assert(stat == 0x137f);

		kill(child, SIGCONT);

		assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WCONTINUED));
		assert(stat == 0xffff);

		assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
		assert(stat == 0x1300);

		return 0;
	}

Without this patch it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED), wait_task_stopped() is
never called.

Note: this doesn't fix all problems with a zombie delay_group_leader(),
WCONTINUED | WEXITED check is not exactly right.  debugger can't assume it
will be notified if another thread reaps the whole thread group.

377d75dafa wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED hangs if a zombie child is traced by real_parent
"A zombie is only visible to its ptracer" logic in wait_consider_task()
is very wrong. Trivial test-case:

	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <assert.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		int child = fork();

		if (!child) {
			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
			return 0x23;
		}

		assert(waitid(P_ALL, child, NULL, WEXITED | WNOWAIT) == 0);
		assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WSTOPPED) == -1);
		return 0;
	}

it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED) despite the fact it has a single zombie
child.  This is because wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) sees p->ptrace and
cleares ->notask_error assuming that the debugger should detach and notify
us.

Change wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) to pretend that ptrace == T if the
child is traced by us.  This really simplifies the logic and allows us to
do more fixes, see the next changes.  This also hides the unwanted group
stop state automatically, we can remove another ptrace_reparented() check.

Unfortunately, this adds the following behavioural changes:

	1. Before this patch wait(WEXITED | __WNOTHREAD) does not reap
	   a natural child if it is traced by the caller's sub-thread.

	   Hopefully nobody will ever notice this change, and I think
	   that nobody should rely on this behaviour anyway.

	2. SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED is no longer hidden from debugger if
	   it is real parent.

	   While this change comes as a side effect, I think it is good
	   by itself. The group continued state can not be consumed by
	   another process in this case, it doesn't depend on ptrace,
	   it doesn't make sense to hide it from real parent.

	   Perhaps we should add the thread_group_leader() check before
	   wait_task_continued()? May be, but this shouldn't depend on
	   ptrace_reparented().

b436069059 wait: use EXIT_TRACE only if thread_group_leader(zombie)
wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if
ptrace_reparented().  This is suboptimal and a bit confusing: we do not
need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p) and in this case we
also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can rely on ptrace_release_task().

Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along with
ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state transition.

abd50b39e7 wait: introduce EXIT_TRACE to avoid the racy EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE transition
wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and
drops tasklist_lock.  If this task is not the natural child and it is
traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent.

The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d25748
"ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE
race".  wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear
->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can
exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE.

And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition
can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if
EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else.  So
the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if
/sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable.  This was fixed by
the previous commit, but it was the temporary hack.

1. Add the new exit_state, EXIT_TRACE. It means that the task is the
   traced zombie, debugger is going to detach and notify its natural
   parent.

   This new state is actually EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD. This way we
   can avoid the changes in proc/kgdb code, get_task_state() still
   reports "X (dead)" in this case.

   Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z
   transition. Not really bad, but probably makes sense to fix.

2. Change wait_task_zombie() to use EXIT_TRACE instead of EXIT_DEAD
   if we need to notify the ->real_parent.

3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD
   is always the final state we can safely ignore such a task.

4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill
   the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case.

   If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the
   owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can
   pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list.

   Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error,
   we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and
   notify us. IOW, this doesn't differ from "EXIT_ZOMBIE && p->ptrace"
   even if the task was already untraced.

ef9823939e kernel/exit.c: call proc_exit_connector() after exit_state is set
The process events connector delivers a notification when a process
exits.  This is really convenient for a process that spawns and wants to
monitor its children through an epoll-able() interface.

Unfortunately, there is a small window between when the event is
delivered and the child become wait()-able.

This is creates a race if the parent wants to make sure that it knows
about the exit, e.g

pid_t pid = fork();
if (pid > 0) {
	register_interest_for_pid(pid);
	if (waitpid(pid, NULL, WNOHANG) > 0)
	{
	  /* We might have raced with exit() */
	}
	return;
}

/* Child */
execve(...)

register_interest_for_pid() would be telling the the connector socket
reader to pay attention to events related to pid.

Though this is not a bug, I think it would make the connector a bit more
usable if this race was closed by simply moving the call to
proc_exit_connector() from just before exit_notify() to right after.

Oleg said:

ppp_register_channel() needs ->net_ns and current->nsproxy == NULL.

Move disassociate_ctty() before exit_task_namespaces(), it doesn't make
sense to delay it after perf_event_exit_task() or cgroup_exit().

This also allows to use task_work_add() inside the (nontrivial) code
paths in disassociate_ctty().

f0432d1596 mm, mempolicy: remove per-process flag
PF_MEMPOLICY is an unnecessary optimization for CONFIG_SLAB users.
There's no significant performance degradation to checking
current->mempolicy rather than current->flags & PF_MEMPOLICY in the
allocation path, especially since this is considered unlikely().

Running TCP_RR with netperf-2.4.5 through localhost on 16 cpu machine with
64GB of memory and without a mempolicy:

	threads		before		after
	16		1249409		1244487
	32		1281786		1246783
	48		1239175		1239138
	64		1244642		1241841
	80		1244346		1248918
	96		1266436		1254316
	112		1307398		1312135
	128		1327607		1326502

Per-process flags are a scarce resource so we should free them up whenever
possible and make them available.  We'll be using it shortly for memcg oom
reserves.

615d6e8756 mm: per-thread vma caching
This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed.  There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma().  Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.

We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality.  On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.

The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number.  The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed.  Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question.  Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:

1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
   scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
   the cache.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 50.61%   | 19.90            |
| patched        | 73.45%   | 13.58            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
   approach as we're dealing with good locality.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 75.28%   | 11.03            |
| patched        | 88.09%   | 9.31             |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 70.66%   | 17.14            |
| patched        | 91.15%   | 12.57            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
   approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
   about non-existent.  The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
   anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
   reduces it considerably.  For instance, with 80 threads:

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 1.06%    | 91.54            |
| patched        | 99.97%   | 14.18            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

49957f8e2a cgroup: newly created dirs and files should be owned by the creator
While converting cgroup to kernfs, 2bd59d48eb ("cgroup: convert to
kernfs") accidentally dropped the logic which makes newly created
cgroup dirs and files owned by the current uid / gid.  This broke
cases where cgroup subtree management is delegated to !root as the sub
manager wouldn't be able to create more than single level of hierarchy
or put tasks into child cgroups it created.

Among other things, this breaks user session management in systemd and
one of the symptoms was 90s hang during shutdown.  User session
systemd running as the user creates a sub-service to initiate shutdown
and tries to put kill(1) into it but fails because cgroup.procs is
owned by root.  This leads to 90s hang during shutdown.

Implement cgroup_kn_set_ugid() which sets a kn's uid and gid to those
of the caller and use it from file and dir creation paths.

b8780c363d sched: remove sleep_on() and friends
This is the final piece in the puzzle, as all patches to remove the
last users of \(interruptible_\|\)sleep_on\(_timeout\|\) have made it
into the 3.15 merge window. The work was long overdue, and this
interface in particular should not have survived the BKL removal
that was done a couple of years ago.

Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3":

 "[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code
  that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is
  incorrect, and (2) Linus has agreed that those functions should
  be removed in the 2.5 development series".

We haven't quite made it for 2.5, but maybe we can merge this for 3.15.
