Some embedded systems have no use for them. This removes about
25KB from the kernel binary size when configured out.
Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to
use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were
disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create,
timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete,
clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm.
The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep
syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast
majority of use cases with very little code.

In the functions compat_get_bitmap() and compat_put_bitmap() the
variable nr_compat_longs stores how many compat_ulong_t words should be
copied in a loop.
The copy loop itself is this:
if (nr_compat_longs-- > 0) {
if (__get_user(um, umask)) return -EFAULT;
} else {
um = 0;
}
Since nr_compat_longs gets unconditionally decremented in each loop and
since it's type is unsigned this could theoretically lead to out of
bounds accesses to userspace if nr_compat_longs wraps around to
(unsigned)(-1).
Although the callers currently do not trigger out-of-bounds accesses, we
should better implement the loop in a safe way to completely avoid such
warp-arounds.

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

We have two APIs for compatiblity timespec/val, with confusingly
similar names. compat_(get|put)_time(val|spec) *do* handle the case
where COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is set, whereas
(get|put)_compat_time(val|spec) do not. This is an accident waiting
to happen.
Clean it up by favoring the full-service version; the limited version
is replaced with double-underscore versions static to kernel/compat.c.
A common pattern is to convert a struct timespec to kernel format in
an allocation on the user stack. Unfortunately it is open-coded in
several places. Since this allocation isn't actually needed if
COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is true (since user format == kernel format)
encapsulate that whole pattern into the function
compat_convert_timespec(). An equivalent function should be written
for struct timeval if it is needed in the future.
Finally, get rid of compat_(get|put)_timeval_convert(): each was only
used once, and the latter was not even doing what the function said
(no conversion actually was being done.) Moving the conversion into
compat_sys_settimeofday() itself makes the code much more similar to
sys_settimeofday() itself.
v3: Remove unused compat_convert_timeval().
v2: Drop bogus "const" in the destination argument for
compat_convert_time*().

Strictly speaking, ppc64 needs it for C ABI compliance. Realistically
I would be very surprised if e.g. passing 0xffffffff as 'options'
argument to waitid() from 32bit task would cause problems, but yes,
it puts us into undefined behaviour territory. ppc64 expects int
argument to be passed in 64bit register with bits 31..63 containing
the same value. SYSCALL_DEFINE on ppc provides a wrapper that normalizes
the value passed from userland; so does COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE. Plain
declaration of compat_sys_something() with an int argument obviously
doesn't. Again, for wait4 and waitid I would be extremely surprised
if gcc started to produce code depending on that value having been
properly sign-extended - the argument(s) in question end up passed
blindly to sys_wait4 and sys_waitid resp. and normalization for native
syscalls takes care of their use there. Still, better to use
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE here than worry about nasal daemons...

compat_sys_sigprocmask reads a smaller signal mask from userspace than
sigprogmask accepts for setting. So the high word of blocked.sig[0]
will be cleared, releasing any potentially blocked RT signal.
This was discovered via userspace code that relies on get/setcontext.
glibc's i386 versions of those functions use sigprogmask instead of
rt_sigprogmask to save/restore signal mask and caused RT signal
unblocking this way.
As suggested by Linus, this replaces the sys_sigprocmask based compat
version with one that open-codes the required logic, including the merge

The existing <asm-generic/unistd.h> mechanism doesn't really provide
enough to create the 64-bit "compat" ABI properly in a generic way,
since the compat ABI is a mix of things were you can re-use the 64-bit
versions of syscalls and things where you need a compat wrapper.
To provide this in the most direct way possible, I added two new macros
to go along with the existing __SYSCALL and __SC_3264 macros: __SC_COMP
and SC_COMP_3264. These macros take an additional argument, typically a
"compat_sys_xxx" function, which is passed to __SYSCALL if you define
__SYSCALL_COMPAT when including the header, resulting in a pointer to
the compat function being placed in the generated syscall table.
The change also adds some missing definitions to <linux/compat.h> so that
it actually has declarations for all the compat syscalls, since the
"[nr] = ##call" approach requires proper C declarations for all the
functions included in the syscall table.
Finally, compat.c defines compat_sys_sigpending() and
compat_sys_sigprocmask() even if the underlying architecture doesn't
request it, which tries to pull in undefined compat_old_sigset_t defines.
We need to guard those compat syscall definitions with appropriate
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_xxx ifdefs.

access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.
This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.
This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

Commit a45185d2d "cpumask: convert kernel/compat.c" broke libnuma, which
abuses sched_getaffinity to find out NR_CPUS in order to parse
/sys/devices/system/node/node*/cpumap.
On NUMA systems with less than 32 possibly CPUs, the current
compat_sys_sched_getaffinity now returns '4' instead of the actual
NR_CPUS/8, which makes libnuma bail out when parsing the cpumap.
The libnuma call sched_getaffinity(0, bitmap, 4096) at first. It mean
the libnuma expect the return value of sched_getaffinity() is either len
argument or NR_CPUS. But it doesn't expect to return nr_cpu_ids.
Strictly speaking, userland requirement are
1) Glibc assume the return value mean the lengh of initialized
of mask argument. E.g. if sched_getaffinity(1024) return 128,
glibc make zero fill rest 896 byte.
2) Libnuma assume the return value can be used to guess NR_CPUS
in kernel. It assume len-arg<NR_CPUS makes -EINVAL. But
it try len=4096 at first and 4096 is always bigger than
NR_CPUS. Then, if we remove strange min_length normalization,
we never hit -EINVAL case.
sched_getaffinity() already solved this issue. This patch adapts
compat_sys_sched_getaffinity() to match the non-compat case.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

At the moment, the times() system call will appear to fail for a period
shortly after boot, while the value it want to return is between -4095 and
-1. The same thing will also happen for the time() system call on 32-bit
platforms some time in 2106 or so.
On some platforms, such as x86, this is unavoidable because of the system
call ABI, but other platforms such as powerpc have a separate error
indication from the return value, so system calls can in fact return small
negative values without indicating an error. On those platforms,
force_successful_syscall_return() provides a way to indicate that the
system call return value should not be treated as an error even if it is
in the range which would normally be taken as a negative error number.
This adds a force_successful_syscall_return() call to the time() and
times() system calls plus their 32-bit compat versions, so that they don't
erroneously indicate an error on those platforms whose system call ABI has
a separate error indication. This will not affect anything on other
platforms.
Joakim Tjernlund added the fix for time() and the compat versions of
time() and times(), after I did the fix for times().

Overview
This patch reworks the handling of POSIX CPU timers, including the
ITIMER_PROF, ITIMER_VIRT timers and rlimit handling. It was put together
with the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code.
The problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using
a profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads. It appears
that the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was
at least O(n*3) (where "n" is the number of threads in a process) or worse.
Everything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken
for that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at
which point things degrade rather quickly.
This patch fixes bug 9906, "Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF."
Code Changes
This rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it
run in constant time for a particular machine. (Performance may vary between
one machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single-
or multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of
running processors.) To do this, at each tick we now update fields in
signal_struct as well as task_struct. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function
uses those fields to make its decisions.
We define a new structure, "task_cputime," to contain user, system and
scheduler times and use these in appropriate places:
struct task_cputime {
cputime_t utime;
cputime_t stime;
unsigned long long sum_exec_runtime;
};
This is included in the structure "thread_group_cputime," which is a new
substructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus
multiprocessor kernels. For uniprocessor kernels, it uses "task_cputime" as
a simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer:
struct thread_group_cputime {
struct task_cputime totals;
};
struct thread_group_cputime {
struct task_cputime *totals;
};
We also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to
cache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also
replaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration
of thread timers). The "thread_group_cputime" structure contains process-wide
timers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends. In the non-SMP
case the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that
simplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in
one measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than
the same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention). For SMP, the
thread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated
using alloc_percpu(). The timer functions update only the timer field in
the structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr().
We define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the
thread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP
implementations from the rest of the kernel. The thread_group_cputime_init()
function initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task.
The thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the
out-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill
in the per-cpu structures and fields. The thread_group_cputime_free()
function, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures. The
thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls
thread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven't yet been
allocated. The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime
structure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields;
in UP it's that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk->signal
is non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and,
if so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU. Finally, the three
functions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and
account_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the
respective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure.
Non-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further.
The per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new
thread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal().
It is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from
cleanup_signal().
All functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from
from all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to
snapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in
the task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn't been allocated.
Finally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit.
The run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a
slow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread
timers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting.
With the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer "rebalanced" and
the process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away. All
summing loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the
thread_group_cputime() inline. When process-wide timers are set, the new
task_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest
expiration; this is checked in the fast path.
Performance
The fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations. It
generally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in
which it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs
very significantly better (Case 2 below). Overall it's a wash except in those
two cases.
I've since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system.
Case 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed
kernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system,
all of which was spent in the system. There were twice as many
voluntary context switches with the fix as without it.
Case 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most
an unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in
eight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and
had better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023
seconds per tick).
Case 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an
interval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had
very nearly the same performance in both cases: 6.3 seconds elapsed
for the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel.
With fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially
the same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus
5.8 seconds). The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds
versus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per
tick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel.
Since the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits.
Case 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer
running), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while
it killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of
wall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was
user time. The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds
of CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system
time. Really, though, the results were too close to call. The results
were essentially the same with no itimer running.
Case 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds
(where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running,
the modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified
kernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick. Otherwise,
performance was almost indistinguishable. With no itimer running this
test exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases.
In times past I did some limited performance testing. those results are below.
On a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed
in 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s. On
the same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but
system time dropped to 0.007 seconds. Performance with eight, four and one
thread were comparable. Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed
more accurate: The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks
for 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720
for 0.061 seconds per tick. Both cases were configured for an interval of
0.01 seconds. Again, the other tests were comparable. Each thread in this
test computed the primes up to 25,000,000.
I also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is
impossible without the fix. In this case each thread computed the primes only
up to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable). System time dominated, at
1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of
629.938s). It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite
accurate. There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.

I'm testing glibc on MIPS64, little-endian, N32, O32 and N64 multilibs.
Among the NPTL test failures seen are some arising from sigsuspend problems
for N32: it blocks the wrong signals, so SIGCANCEL (SIGRTMIN) is blocked
despite glibc's carefully excluding it from sets of signals to block.
Specifically, testing suggests it blocks signal N^32 instead of signal N,
so (in the example tested) blocking SIGUSR1 (17) blocks signal 49 instead.
glibc's sigset_t uses an array of unsigned long, as does the kernel.
In both cases, signal N+1 is represented as
(1UL << (N % (8 * sizeof (unsigned long)))) in word number
(N / (8 * sizeof (unsigned long))).
Thus the N32 glibc uses an array of 32-bit words and the N64 kernel uses an
array of 64-bit words. For little-endian, the layout is the same, with
signals 1-32 in the first 4 bytes, signals 33-64 in the second, etc.; for
big-endian, userspace has that layout while in the kernel each 8 bytes have
the two halves swapped from the userspace layout.
The N32 sigsuspend syscall uses sigset_from_compat to convert the userspace
sigset to kernel format. If __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ is *not* set, this uses
logic of the form
set->sig[0] = compat->sig[0] | (((long)compat->sig[1]) << 32 )
to convert the userspace sigset to a kernel one. This looks correct to me
for both big and little endian, given that in userspace compat->sig[1] will
represent signals 33-64, and so will the high 32 bits of set->sig[0] in the
kernel. If however __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ *is* set, as it is for
__MIPSEL__, it uses
set->sig[0] = compat->sig[1] | (((long)compat->sig[0]) << 32 );
which seems incorrect for both big and little endian, and would
explain the observed symptoms.
This code is the only use of __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__, so if incorrect
then that macro serves no purpose, in which case something like the
following patch would seem appropriate to remove it.

The definition of the third parameter is a pointer to an array of virtual
addresses which give us some trouble. The existing code calculated the
wrong address in the array since I used void to avoid having to specify a
type.
I now use the correct type "compat_uptr_t __user *" in the definition of
the function in kernel/compat.c.
However, I used __u32 in syscalls.h. Would have to include compat.h there
in order to provide the same definition which would generate an ugly
include situation.
On both ia64 and x86_64 compat_uptr_t is u32. So this works although
parameter declarations differ.

sys_move_pages() support for 32bit (i386 plus x86_64 compat layer)
Add support for move_pages() on i386 and also add the compat functions
necessary to run 32 bit binaries on x86_64.
Add compat_sys_move_pages to the x86_64 32bit binary layer. Note that it is
not up to date so I added the missing pieces. Not sure if this is done the
right way.

The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag allows us to have a generic implementation of
sys_rt_sigsuspend() instead of duplicating it for each architecture. This
provides such an implementation and makes arch/powerpc use it.
It also tidies up the ppc32 sys_sigsuspend() to use TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.

The comment in compat.c is wrong, every architecture provides a
get_compat_sigevent() for the IPC compat code already.
This basically moves the x86_64 version to common code and removes all the
others.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
