cd81a9170e mm: introduce get_task_exe_file
For more convenient access if one has a pointer to the task.

As a minor nit take advantage of the fact that only task lock + rcu are
needed to safely grab ->exe_file. This saves mm refcount dance.

Use the helper in proc_exe_link.

ba14a194a4 fork: Add generic vmalloced stack support
If CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y is selected, kernel stacks are allocated with
__vmalloc_node_range().

Grsecurity has had a similar feature (called GRKERNSEC_KSTACKOVERFLOW=y)
for a long time.

568ac88821 cgroup: reduce read locked section of cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem during fork
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem is acquired in read mode during process exit
and fork.  It is also grabbed in write mode during
__cgroups_proc_write().  I've recently run into a scenario with lots
of memory pressure and OOM and I am beginning to see

This thread is waiting on the reader of cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem to
exit.  The reader itself is under memory pressure and has gone into
reclaim after fork. There are times the reader also ends up waiting on
oom_lock as well.

In the meanwhile, all processes exiting/forking are blocked almost
stalling the system.

This patch moves the threadgroup_change_begin from before
cgroup_fork() to just before cgroup_canfork().  There is no nee to
worry about threadgroup changes till the task is actually added to the
threadgroup.  This avoids having to call reclaim with
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem held.

d30dd8be06 mm: track NR_KERNEL_STACK in KiB instead of number of stacks
Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone.
This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone,
and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption.

Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack
allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all
architectures.  Keep it simple and use KiB.

4949148ad4 mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator paths
Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use
alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag.  A page allocated with
this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it
won't be uncharged.

This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible
to use along with page reference counting, i.e.  when an allocation is
supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix
socket buffers.

To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to
generic page allocator paths, i.e.  to __alloc_pages_nodemask and
free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers.  This way,
one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the
allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT,
just like in case of kmalloc and friends.  A charged page will be
automatically uncharged on free.

To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow.
To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for
marking such pages.  Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to
be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine.  There are other
(ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't
conflict with them.

In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch
introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths.  If kmemcg is
used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one
page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because
the data accessed are hot.

b235beea9e Clarify naming of thread info/stack allocators
We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for
most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off
from the task struct), but that is about to change.

But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of
the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and
freeing functions are.

Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread
stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical.  That
identity then meant that we would have things like

	ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node);
	...
	tsk->stack = ti;

which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same
value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to
the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code
just gets to be entirely bogus.

So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the
stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be
about the stack.  The fact that the thread_info then shares the
allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the
allocation itself.

This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's
just that we clarify what the pointer means.

The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of
task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd,
but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity
doesn't matter.  It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I
intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and
type change.

7c05126793 mm, fork: make dup_mmap wait for mmap_sem for write killable
dup_mmap needs to lock current's mm mmap_sem for write.  If the waiting
task gets killed by the oom killer it would block oom_reaper from
asynchronous address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM
resolving.  Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR
if the task got killed while waiting.

725fc629ff kernek/fork.c: allocate idle task for a CPU always on its local node
Linux preallocates the task structs of the idle tasks for all possible
CPUs.  This currently means they all end up on node 0.  This also
implies that the cache line of MWAIT, which is around the flags field in
the task struct, are all located in node 0.

We see a noticeable performance improvement on Knights Landing CPUs when
the cache lines used for MWAIT are located in the local nodes of the
CPUs using them.  I would expect this to give a (likely slight)
improvement on other systems too.

The patch implements placing the idle task in the node of its CPUs, by
passing the right target node to copy_process()

ec8d7c14ea mm, oom_reaper: do not mmput synchronously from the oom reaper context
Tetsuo has properly noted that mmput slow path might get blocked waiting
for another party (e.g.  exit_aio waits for an IO).  If that happens the
oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process
next oom victim.  We should strive for making this context as reliable
and independent on other subsystems as much as possible.

Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async
(WQ) context.  This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a
problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space
for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't
bind too much memory anymore.  The only exception is when mmap_sem
trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often.

The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.

2a74213838 signals/sigaltstack: Implement SS_AUTODISARM flag
This patch implements the SS_AUTODISARM flag that can be OR-ed with
SS_ONSTACK when forming ss_flags.

When this flag is set, sigaltstack will be disabled when entering
the signal handler; more precisely, after saving sas to uc_stack.
When leaving the signal handler, the sigaltstack is restored by
uc_stack.

When this flag is used, it is safe to switch from sighandler with
swapcontext(). Without this flag, the subsequent signal will corrupt
the state of the switched-away sighandler.

To detect the support of this functionality, one can do:

  err = sigaltstack(SS_DISABLE | SS_AUTODISARM);
  if (err && errno == EINVAL)
	unsupported();

5c9a8750a6 kernel: add kcov code coverage
kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing).  Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system.  A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).  However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.

kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible.  It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g.  scheduler, locking).

Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes.  Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch).  I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.

This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.  The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.

We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:

  https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs

We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation".  For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.

Why not gcov.  Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.  A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g.  an invalid
input).  In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M).  Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges.  On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.

kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure.  But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

a79a908fd2 cgroup: introduce cgroup namespaces
Introduce the ability to create new cgroup namespace. The newly created
cgroup namespace remembers the cgroup of the process at the point
of creation of the cgroup namespace (referred as cgroupns-root).
The main purpose of cgroup namespace is to virtualize the contents
of /proc/self/cgroup file. Processes inside a cgroup namespace
are only able to see paths relative to their namespace root
(unless they are moved outside of their cgroupns-root, at which point
 they will see a relative path from their cgroupns-root).
For a correctly setup container this enables container-tools
(like libcontainer, lxc, lmctfy, etc.) to create completely virtualized
containers without leaking system level cgroup hierarchy to the task.
This patch only implements the 'unshare' part of the cgroupns.

8463833590 mm: rework virtual memory accounting
When inspecting a vague code inside prctl(PR_SET_MM_MEM) call (which
testing the RLIMIT_DATA value to figure out if we're allowed to assign
new @start_brk, @brk, @start_data, @end_data from mm_struct) it's been
commited that RLIMIT_DATA in a form it's implemented now doesn't do
anything useful because most of user-space libraries use mmap() syscall
for dynamic memory allocations.

Linus suggested to convert RLIMIT_DATA rlimit into something suitable
for anonymous memory accounting.  But in this patch we go further, and
the changes are bundled together as:

 * keep vma counting if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, will be used for limits
 * replace mm->shared_vm with better defined mm->data_vm
 * account anonymous executable areas as executable
 * account file-backed growsdown/up areas as stack
 * drop struct file* argument from vm_stat_account
 * enforce RLIMIT_DATA for size of data areas

This way code looks cleaner: now code/stack/data classification depends
only on vm_flags state:

 VM_EXEC & ~VM_WRITE            -> code  (VmExe + VmLib in proc)
 VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN      -> stack (VmStk)
 VM_WRITE & ~VM_SHARED & !stack -> data  (VmData)

The rest (VmSize - VmData - VmStk - VmExe - VmLib) could be called
"shared", but that might be strange beast like readonly-private or VM_IO
area.

 - RLIMIT_AS            limits whole address space "VmSize"
 - RLIMIT_STACK         limits stack "VmStk" (but each vma individually)
 - RLIMIT_DATA          now limits "VmData"

5d097056c9 kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg
Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg.  For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds.  Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

093e5840ae sched/core: Reset task's lockless wake-queues on fork()
In the following commit:

  7675104990 ("sched: Implement lockless wake-queues")

we gained lockless wake-queues.

The -RT kernel managed to lockup itself with those. There could be multiple
attempts for task X to enqueue it for a wakeup _even_ if task X is already
running.

The reason is that task X could be runnable but not yet on CPU. The the
task performing the wakeup did not leave the CPU it could performe
multiple wakeups.

With the proper timming task X could be running and enqueued for a
wakeup. If this happens while X is performing a fork() then its its
child will have a !NULL `wake_q` member copied.

This is not a problem as long as the child task does not participate in
lockless wakeups :)

2) The CPU isn't running vtime at all, so the same properties of 1) applies.

de60f5f10c mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULT
The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings.  If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.

For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well).  For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).

This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in.  The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED.  Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.

Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer.  Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked.  This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA.  FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:

   - percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated.  This was
     temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues.  Oleg's
     rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
     merge window resolves the issue.

   - On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
     operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly.  This allows
     ->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.

   - Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
     until released.  This allows tracking resources held by zombies
     (e.g.  pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
     on the v2 hierarchy.  The pids controller was broken before these
     changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
     behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
     a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
     first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
     at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.

2e91fa7f6d cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups
cgroup_exit() is called when a task exits and disassociates the
exiting task from its cgroups and half-attach it to the root cgroup.
This is unnecessary and undesirable.

No controller actually needs an exiting task to be disassociated with
non-root cgroups.  Both cpu and perf_event controllers update the
association to the root cgroup from their exit callbacks just to keep
consistent with the cgroup core behavior.

Also, this disassociation makes it difficult to track resources held
by zombies or determine where the zombies came from.  Currently, pids
controller is completely broken as it uncharges on exit and zombies
always escape the resource restriction.  With cgroup association being
reset on exit, fixing it is pretty painful.

There's no reason to reset cgroup membership on exit.  The zombie can
be removed from its css_set so that it doesn't show up on
"cgroup.procs" and thus can't be migrated or interfere with cgroup
removal.  It can still pin and point to the css_set so that its cgroup
membership is maintained.  This patch makes cgroup core keep zombies
associated with their cgroups at the time of exit.

* Previous patches decoupled populated_cnt tracking from css_set
  lifetime, so a dying task can be simply unlinked from its css_set
  while pinning and pointing to the css_set.  This keeps css_set
  association from task side alive while hiding it from "cgroup.procs"
  and populated_cnt tracking.  The css_set reference is dropped when
  the task_struct is freed.

* ->exit() callback no longer needs the css arguments as the
  associated css never changes once PF_EXITING is set.  Removed.

* cpu and perf_events controllers no longer need ->exit() callbacks.
  There's no reason to explicitly switch away on exit.  The final
  schedule out is enough.  The callbacks are removed.

* On traditional hierarchies, nothing changes.  "/proc/PID/cgroup"
  still reports "/" for all zombies.  On the default hierarchy,
  "/proc/PID/cgroup" keeps reporting the cgroup that the task belonged
  to at the time of exit.  If the cgroup gets removed before the task
  is reaped, " (deleted)" is appended.

v2: Build brekage due to missing dummy cgroup_free() when
    !CONFIG_CGROUP fixed.

d5c373eb56 posix_cpu_timer: Convert cputimer->running to bool
In the next patch in this series, a new field 'checking_timer' will
be added to 'struct thread_group_cputimer'. Both this and the
existing 'running' integer field are just used as boolean values. To
save space in the structure, we can make both of these fields booleans.

This is a preparatory patch to convert the existing running integer
field to a boolean.

1ed1328792 sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem
Note: This commit was originally committed as d59cfc09c3 but got
      reverted by 0c986253b9 due to the performance regression from
      the percpu_rwsem write down/up operations added to cgroup task
      migration path.  percpu_rwsem changes which alleviate the
      performance issue are pending for v4.4-rc1 merge window.
      Re-apply.

The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem
to synchronize against threadgroup changes.  This per-process rwsem
adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces
cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple
places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across
multiple processes.

This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global
percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader
side and contained in cgroups proper.  This patch converts one-to-one.

This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however,
cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize
thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take
enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

0c986253b9 Revert "sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"
This reverts commit d59cfc09c3.

d59cfc09c3 ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc ("cgroup: simplify
threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task
fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of
per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of
percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned
out to be too expensive.

Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming
v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue.  For now, revert
the two commits to restore per-process rwsem.  They will be re-applied
for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.

faf00da544 userns,pidns: Force thread group sharing, not signal handler sharing.
The code that places signals in signal queues computes the uids, gids,
and pids at the time the signals are enqueued.  Which means that tasks
that share signal queues must be in the same pid and user namespaces.

Sharing signal handlers is fine, but bizarre.

So make the code in fork and userns_install clearer by only testing
for what is functionally necessary.

Also update the comment in unshare about unsharing a user namespace to
be a little more explicit and make a little more sense.

12c641ab82 unshare: Unsharing a thread does not require unsharing a vm
In the logic in the initial commit of unshare made creating a new
thread group for a process, contingent upon creating a new memory
address space for that process.  That is wrong.  Two separate
processes in different thread groups can share a memory address space
and clone allows creation of such proceses.

This is significant because it was observed that mm_users > 1 does not
mean that a process is multi-threaded, as reading /proc/PID/maps
temporarily increments mm_users, which allows other processes to
(accidentally) interfere with unshare() calls.

Correct the check in check_unshare_flags() to test for
!thread_group_empty() for CLONE_THREAD, CLONE_SIGHAND, and CLONE_VM.
For sighand->count > 1 for CLONE_SIGHAND and CLONE_VM.
For !current_is_single_threaded instead of mm_users > 1 for CLONE_VM.

By using the correct checks in unshare this removes the possibility of
an accidental denial of service attack.

Additionally using the correct checks in unshare ensures that only an
explicit unshare(CLONE_VM) can possibly trigger the slow path of
current_is_single_threaded().  As an explict unshare(CLONE_VM) is
pointless it is not expected there are many applications that make
that call.

This confuses things (and peoples) who look at this sum, like top, and

Rework the code to provide both individual monotonicity and a coherent

0c8c0f03e3 x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'
The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'.
But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per
task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance).

Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the
space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically
allocate already.  This saves from doing an extra slab
allocation at fork().

The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything
and the end of the task_struct.  But, I think the
BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too
fragile.

Also add a tagging system for cgroup_subsys.h to allow for CGROUP_<TAG>

3033f14ab7 clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic
clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a
pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific
calling conventions.  In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a
parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some
assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific
code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured
as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel.  That's a massive hack, and
it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific
existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like
system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly
the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system
call entry point across architectures.

The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via
normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.  The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt
into this.

These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for
this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely
uncontroversial and have acks.  I'd like to go ahead and submit these
two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and
opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.  However, I'm also happy to wait and
send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if
anyone would prefer that.

This patch (of 2):

clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local
storage area for the new thread.  sys_clone declares an int argument
tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the
various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along
that argument.  Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls
copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread
pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at
kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls
in).

Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only
one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that
code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific
argument-passing order.  This prevents introducing a new version of the
clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific
position of the tls argument.

However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when
sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments.

Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into,
and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional
unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument.  Change sys_clone's tls
argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass
that down to copy_thread_tls.

Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore
the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel
entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone
syscall.

d59cfc09c3 sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem
The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem
to synchronize against threadgroup changes.  This per-process rwsem
adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces
cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple
places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across
multiple processes.

This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global
percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader
side and contained in cgroups proper.  This patch converts one-to-one.

This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however,
cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize
thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take
enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

8bcbde5480 sched/preempt, mm/fault: Count pagefault_disable() levels in pagefault_disabled
Until now, pagefault_disable()/pagefault_enabled() used the preempt
count to track whether in an environment with pagefaults disabled (can
be queried via in_atomic()).

This patch introduces a separate counter in task_struct to count the
level of pagefault_disable() calls. We'll keep manipulating the preempt
count to retain compatibility to existing pagefault handlers.

It is now possible to verify whether in a pagefault_disable() envionment
by calling pagefault_disabled(). In contrast to in_atomic() it will not
be influenced by preempt_enable()/preempt_disable().

This patch is based on a patch from Ingo Molnar.

1018016c70 sched, timer: Replace spinlocks with atomics in thread_group_cputimer(), to improve scalability
While running a database workload, we found a scalability issue with itimers.

Much of the problem was caused by the thread_group_cputimer spinlock.
Each time we account for group system/user time, we need to obtain a
thread_group_cputimer's spinlock to update the timers. On larger systems
(such as a 16 socket machine), this caused more than 30% of total time
spent trying to obtain this kernel lock to update these group timer stats.

This patch converts the timers to 64-bit atomic variables and use
atomic add to update them without a lock. With this patch, the percent
of total time spent updating thread group cputimer timers was reduced
from 30% down to less than 1%.

Note: On 32-bit systems using the generic 64-bit atomics, this causes
sample_group_cputimer() to take locks 3 times instead of just 1 time.
However, we tested this patch on a 32-bit system ARM system using the
generic atomics and did not find the overhead to be much of an issue.
An explanation for why this isn't an issue is that 32-bit systems usually
have small numbers of CPUs, and cacheline contention from extra spinlocks
called periodically is not really apparent on smaller systems.

11163348a2 oprofile: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file
sync_buffer() needs the mmap_sem for two distinct operations, both only
occurring upon user context switch handling:

 1) Dealing with the exe_file.

 2) Adding the dcookie data as we need to lookup the vma that
   backs it. This is done via add_sample() and add_data().

This patch isolates 1), for it will no longer need the mmap_sem for
serialization.  However, for now, make of the more standard
get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value,
and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't
dissappear underneath us while doing the get dcookie.

As a consequence, for 2) we move the mmap_sem locking into where we really
need it, in lookup_dcookie().  The benefits are twofold: reduce mmap_sem
hold times, and cleaner code.

6e399cd144 prctl: avoid using mmap_sem for exe_file serialization
Oleg cleverly suggested using xchg() to set the new mm->exe_file instead
of calling set_mm_exe_file() which requires some form of serialization --
mmap_sem in this case.  For archs that do not have atomic rmw instructions
we still fallback to a spinlock alternative, so this should always be
safe.  As such, we only need the mmap_sem for looking up the backing
vm_file, which can be done sharing the lock.  Naturally, this means we
need to manually deal with both the new and old file reference counting,
and we need not worry about the MMF_EXE_FILE_CHANGED bits, which can
probably be deleted in the future anyway.

PAGE_SIZE is not guaranteed to be equal to or less than 8 times the
THREAD_SIZE.

E.g.  architecture hexagon may have page size 1M and thread size 4096.
This would lead to a division by zero in the calculation of max_threads.

With 32-bit calculation there is no solution which delivers valid results
for all possible combinations of the parameters.  The code is only called
once.  Hence a 64-bit calculation can be used as solution.

THREAD_SIZE.

E.g.  architecture hexagon may have page size 1M and thread size 4096.
This would lead to a division by zero in the calculation of max_threads.

With this patch the buggy code is moved to a separate function
set_max_threads.  The error is not fixed.

After fixing the problem in a separate patch the new function can be
reused to adjust max_threads after adding or removing memory.

Argument mempages of function fork_init() is removed as totalram_pages is
an exported symbol.

The creation of separate patches for refactoring to a new function and for
fixing the logic was suggested by Ingo Molnar.

35f71bc0a0 fork: report pid reservation failure properly
copy_process will report any failure in alloc_pid as ENOMEM currently
which is misleading because the pid allocation might fail not only when
the memory is short but also when the pid space is consumed already.

The current man page even mentions this case:

: EAGAIN
:
:       A system-imposed limit on the number of threads was encountered.
:       There are a number of limits that may trigger this error: the
:       RLIMIT_NPROC soft resource limit (set via setrlimit(2)), which
:       limits the number of processes and threads for a real user ID, was
:       reached; the kernel's system-wide limit on the number of processes
:       and threads, /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max, was reached (see
:       proc(5)); or the maximum number of PIDs, /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max,
:       was reached (see proc(5)).

so the current behavior is also incorrect wrt.  documentation.  POSIX man
page also suggest returing EAGAIN when the process count limit is reached.

This patch simply propagates error code from alloc_pid and makes sure we
return -EAGAIN due to reservation failure.  This will make behavior of
fork closer to both our documentation and POSIX.

alloc_pid might alsoo fail when the reaper in the pid namespace is dead
(the namespace basically disallows all new processes) and there is no
good error code which would match documented ones. We have traditionally
returned ENOMEM for this case which is misleading as well but as per
Eric W. Biederman this behavior is documented in man pid_namespaces(7)

: If the "init" process of a PID namespace terminates, the kernel
: terminates all of the processes in the namespace via a SIGKILL signal.
: This behavior reflects the fact that the "init" process is essential for
: the correct operation of a PID namespace.  In this case, a subsequent
: fork(2) into this PID namespace will fail with the error ENOMEM; it is
: not possible to create a new processes in a PID namespace whose "init"
: process has terminated.

and introducing a new error code would be too risky so let's stick to
ENOMEM for this case.

b30fe6c7ce mm: fix false-positive warning on exit due mm_nr_pmds(mm)
The problem is that we check nr_ptes/nr_pmds in exit_mmap() which happens
*before* pgd_free().  And if an arch does pte/pmd allocation in
pgd_alloc() and frees them in pgd_free() we see offset in counters by the
time of the checks.

We tried to workaround this by offsetting expected counter value according
to FIRST_USER_ADDRESS for both nr_pte and nr_pmd in exit_mmap().  But it
doesn't work in some cases:

1. ARM with LPAE enabled also has non-zero USER_PGTABLES_CEILING, but
   upper addresses occupied with huge pmd entries, so the trick with
   offsetting expected counter value will get really ugly: we will have
   to apply it nr_pmds, but not nr_ptes.

2. Metag has non-zero FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, but doesn't do allocation
   pte/pmd page tables allocation in pgd_alloc(), just setup a pgd entry
   which is allocated at boot and shared accross all processes.

The proposal is to move the check to check_mm() which happens *after*
pgd_free() and do proper accounting during pgd_alloc() and pgd_free()
which would bring counters to zero if nothing leaked.

dc6c9a35b6 mm: account pmd page tables to the process
Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of
memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and
memory cgroup.  The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables.  Linux
kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE.

The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables
while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low.  oom_score for the process will be 0.

	#include <errno.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/mman.h>
	#include <sys/prctl.h>

	#define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30)
	#define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21)

	#define NR_PUD 130000

	int main(void)
	{
		char *addr = NULL;
		unsigned long i;

		prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE);
		for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) {
			addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
					MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
			if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
				perror("mmap");
				break;
			}
			*addr = 'x';
			munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE);
			mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
					MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
			if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
				perror("re-mmap"), exit(1);
		}
		printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n",
				getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10);
		return pause();
	}

The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the
same way we account PTE.

The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and
free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases:

 - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting
   the table to all processes who share it.

 - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork.

 - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity
   check on exit(2).

Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is
present (PMD is not folded).  As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter.  The
counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by
oom-killer.

e78c349679 time, signal: Protect resource use statistics with seqlock
Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability
issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a
lock.

The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the
task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and
that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all).

Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being
completely serialized on large systems.

This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and
propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can
be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling
functions.

In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a
lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks
around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime().

This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

69f6a34bde seccomp: Replace BUG(!spin_is_locked()) with assert_spin_lock
Current upstream kernel hangs with mips and powerpc targets in
uniprocessor mode if SECCOMP is configured.

Bisect points to commit dbd952127d ("seccomp: introduce writer locking").
Turns out that code such as
	BUG_ON(!spin_is_locked(&list_lock));
can not be used in uniprocessor mode because spin_is_locked() always
returns false in this configuration, and that assert_spin_locked()
exists for that very purpose and must be used instead.

4bb5f5d939 mm: allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings
This patch (of 6):

The i_mmap_writable field counts existing writable mappings of an
address_space.  To allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings, make
this counter signed and prevent new writable mappings if it is negative.
This is modelled after i_writecount and DENYWRITE.

This will be required by the shmem-sealing infrastructure to prevent any
new writable mappings after the WRITE seal has been set.  In case there
exists a writable mapping, this operation will fail with EBUSY.

Note that we rely on the fact that iff you already own a writable mapping,
you can increase the counter without using the helpers.  This is the same
that we do for i_writecount.

ab602f7991 shm: make exit_shm work proportional to task activity
This is small set of patches our team has had kicking around for a few
versions internally that fixes tasks getting hung on shm_exit when there
are many threads hammering it at once.

Anton wrote a simple test to cause the issue:

  http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/bust_shm_exit.c

Before applying this patchset, this test code will cause either hanging
tracebacks or pthread out of memory errors.

After this patchset, it will still produce output like:

  root@somehost:~# ./bust_shm_exit 1024 160
  ...
  INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: {} (detected by 116, t=2111 jiffies, g=241, c=240, q=7113)
  INFO: Stall ended before state dump start
  ...

But the task will continue to run along happily, so we consider this an
improvement over hanging, even if it's a bit noisy.

This patch (of 3):

exit_shm obtains the ipc_ns shm rwsem for write and holds it while it
walks every shared memory segment in the namespace.  Thus the amount of
work is related to the number of shm segments in the namespace not the
number of segments that might need to be cleaned.

In addition, this occurs after the task has been notified the thread has
exited, so the number of tasks waiting for the ns shm rwsem can grow
without bound until memory is exausted.

Add a list to the task struct of all shmids allocated by this task.  Init
the list head in copy_process.  Use the ns->rwsem for locking.  Add
segments after id is added, remove before removing from id.

On unshare of NEW_IPCNS orphan any ids as if the task had exited, similar
to handling of semaphore undo.

I chose a define for the init sequence since its a simple list init,
otherwise it would require a function call to avoid include loops between
the semaphore code and the task struct.  Converting the list_del to
list_del_init for the unshare cases would remove the exit followed by
init, but I left it blow up if not inited.

4f7d461433 fork: copy mm's vm usage counters under mmap_sem
If a forking process has a thread calling (un)mmap (silly but still),
the child process may have some of its mm's vm usage counters (total_vm
and friends) screwed up, because currently they are copied from oldmm
w/o holding any locks (memcpy in dup_mm).

This patch moves the counters initialization to dup_mmap() to be called
under oldmm->mmap_sem, which eliminates any possibility of race.

ce65cefa5d fork: reset mm->pinned_vm
mm->pinned_vm counts pages of mm's address space that were permanently
pinned in memory by increasing their reference counter. The counter was
introduced by commit bc3e53f682 ("mm: distinguish between mlocked and
pinned pages"), while before it locked_vm had been used for such pages.

Obviously, we should reset the counter on fork if !CLONE_VM, just like
we do with locked_vm, but currently we don't. Let's fix it.

This patch will fix the contents of /proc/pid/status:VmPin.

ib_umem_get[infiniband] and perf_mmap still check pinned_vm against
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK.  It's left from the times when pinned pages were accounted
under locked_vm, but today it looks wrong.  It isn't clear how we should
deal with it.

We still have some drivers accounting pinned pages under mm->locked_vm -
this is what commit bc3e53f682 was fighting against.  It's
infiniband/usnic and vfio.

41f727fde1 fork/exec: cleanup mm initialization
mm initialization on fork/exec is spread all over the place, which makes
the code look inconsistent.

We have mm_init(), which is supposed to init/nullify mm's internals, but
it doesn't init all the fields it should:

 - on fork ->mmap,mm_rb,vmacache_seqnum,map_count,mm_cpumask,locked_vm
   are zeroed in dup_mmap();

 - on fork ->pmd_huge_pte is zeroed in dup_mm(), immediately before
   calling mm_init();

 - ->cpu_vm_mask_var ptr is initialized by mm_init_cpumask(), which is
   called before mm_init() on both fork and exec;

 - ->context is initialized by init_new_context(), which is called after
   mm_init() on both fork and exec;

Let's consolidate all the initializations in mm_init() to make the code
look cleaner.

 "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co

   - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
     Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
     user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)

   - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.

   - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.

   - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
     and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
     definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.

   - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.

   - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
     long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
     traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
     for correlation of traces accross separate machines.

   - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.

   - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.

   - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.

   - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
     impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
     manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
     specific timers.

[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]

   - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
     of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
     a few obnoxious strongholds.

dbd952127d seccomp: introduce writer locking
Normally, task_struct.seccomp.filter is only ever read or modified by
the task that owns it (current). This property aids in fast access
during system call filtering as read access is lockless.

Updating the pointer from another task, however, opens up race
conditions. To allow cross-thread filter pointer updates, writes to the
seccomp fields are now protected by the sighand spinlock (which is shared
by all threads in the thread group). Read access remains lockless because
pointer updates themselves are atomic.  However, writes (or cloning)
often entail additional checking (like maximum instruction counts)
which require locking to perform safely.

In the case of cloning threads, the child is invisible to the system
until it enters the task list. To make sure a child can't be cloned from
a thread and left in a prior state, seccomp duplication is additionally
moved under the sighand lock. Then parent and child are certain have
the same seccomp state when they exit the lock.

Based on patches by Will Drewry and David Drysdale.

syscall_regfunc() and syscall_unregfunc() should set/clear
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT system-wide, but do_each_thread() can race
with copy_process() and miss the new child which was not added to
the process/thread lists yet.

Change copy_process() to update the child's TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT
under tasklist.

4e52365f27 ptrace: fix fork event messages across pid namespaces
When tracing a process in another pid namespace, it's important for fork
event messages to contain the child's pid as seen from the tracer's pid
namespace, not the parent's.  Otherwise, the tracer won't be able to
correlate the fork event with later SIGTRAP signals it receives from the
child.

We still risk a race condition if a ptracer from a different pid
namespace attaches after we compute the pid_t value.  However, sending a
bogus fork event message in this unlikely scenario is still a vast
improvement over the status quo where we always send bogus fork event
messages to debuggers in a different pid namespace than the forking
process.

52383431b3 mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG
Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator.  The page
allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages.  Apart from
looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
allocation path.  So let's introduce separate functions that will
alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.

The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages.  They
should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large.
They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides
allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource
counter of the current memory cgroup.

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

	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            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
