network device name came from (enumerated by kernel, assigned
explicitly by userspace, etc.) From Tom Gundersen.
14) Automatic flow label generation on transmit in ipv6, from Tom
Herbert.
15) New packet timestamping facilities from Willem de Bruijn, meant to
assist in measuring latencies going into/out-of the packet
scheduler, latency from TCP data transmission to ACK, etc"

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"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.
- The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

Here's the big pull request for the staging driver tree for 3.17-rc1.
Lots of things in here, over 2000 patches, but the best part is this:
1480 files changed, 39070 insertions(+), 254659 deletions(-)
Thanks to the great work of Kristina Martšenko, 14 different staging
drivers have been removed from the tree as they were obsolete and no one
was willing to work on cleaning them up. Other than the driver
removals, loads of cleanups are in here (comedi, lustre, etc.) as well
as the usual IIO driver updates and additions.

to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
the same function, the old way is still done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
and resume.
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"Mostly changes to get the v2 interface ready. The core features are
mostly ready now and I think it's reasonable to expect to drop the
devel mask in one or two devel cycles at least for a subset of
controllers.
- cgroup added a controller dependency mechanism so that block cgroup
can depend on memory cgroup. This will be used to finally support
IO provisioning on the writeback traffic, which is currently being
implemented.
- The v2 interface now uses a separate table so that the interface
files for the new interface are explicitly declared in one place.
Each controller will explicitly review and add the files for the
new interface.
- cpuset is getting ready for the hierarchical behavior which is in
the similar style with other controllers so that an ancestor's
configuration change doesn't change the descendants' configurations
irreversibly and processes aren't silently migrated when a CPU or
node goes down.
All the changes are to the new interface and no behavior changed for
the multiple hierarchies"

clean up names related to socket filtering and bpf in the following way:
- everything that deals with sockets keeps 'sk_*' prefix
- everything that is pure BPF is changed to 'bpf_*' prefix
split 'struct sk_filter' into
struct sk_filter {
atomic_t refcnt;
struct rcu_head rcu;
struct bpf_prog *prog;
};
and
struct bpf_prog {
u32 jited:1,
len:31;
struct sock_fprog_kern *orig_prog;
unsigned int (*bpf_func)(const struct sk_buff *skb,
const struct bpf_insn *filter);
union {
struct sock_filter insns[0];
struct bpf_insn insnsi[0];
struct work_struct work;
};
};
so that 'struct bpf_prog' can be used independent of sockets and cleans up
'unattached' bpf use cases
split SK_RUN_FILTER macro into:
SK_RUN_FILTER to be used with 'struct sk_filter *' and
BPF_PROG_RUN to be used with 'struct bpf_prog *'
__sk_filter_release(struct sk_filter *) gains
__bpf_prog_release(struct bpf_prog *) helper function
also perform related renames for the functions that work
with 'struct bpf_prog *', since they're on the same lines:
sk_filter_size -> bpf_prog_size
sk_filter_select_runtime -> bpf_prog_select_runtime
sk_filter_free -> bpf_prog_free
sk_unattached_filter_create -> bpf_prog_create
sk_unattached_filter_destroy -> bpf_prog_destroy
sk_store_orig_filter -> bpf_prog_store_orig_filter
sk_release_orig_filter -> bpf_release_orig_filter
__sk_migrate_filter -> bpf_migrate_filter
__sk_prepare_filter -> bpf_prepare_filter
API for attaching classic BPF to a socket stays the same:
sk_attach_filter(prog, struct sock *)/sk_detach_filter(struct sock *)
and SK_RUN_FILTER(struct sk_filter *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by sockets, tun, af_packet
API for 'unattached' BPF programs becomes:
bpf_prog_create(struct bpf_prog **)/bpf_prog_destroy(struct bpf_prog *)
and BPF_PROG_RUN(struct bpf_prog *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by isdn, ppp, team, seccomp, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, test_bpf

PG_head_mask was added into VMCOREINFO to filter huge pages in b3acc56bfe
("kexec: save PG_head_mask in VMCOREINFO"), but makedumpfile still need
another symbol to filter *hugetlbfs* pages.
If a user hope to filter user pages, makedumpfile tries to exclude them by
checking the condition whether the page is anonymous, but hugetlbfs pages
aren't anonymous while they also be user pages.
We know it's possible to detect them in the same way as PageHuge(),
so we need the start address of free_huge_page():
int PageHuge(struct page *page)
{
if (!PageCompound(page))
return 0;
page = compound_head(page);
return get_compound_page_dtor(page) == free_huge_page;
}
For that reason, this patch changes free_huge_page() into public
to export it to VMCOREINFO.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
The scheduler uses policy == -1 to preserve the current policy state to
implement sched_setparam(). But, as (int) -1 is equals to 0xffffffff,
it's matching the if (policy & SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK) on
_sched_setscheduler(). This match changes the policy value to an
invalid value, breaking the sched_setparam() syscall.
This patch checks policy == -1 before check the SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag.
The following program shows the bug:
int main(void)
{
struct sched_param param = {
.sched_priority = 5,
};
sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, ¶m);
param.sched_priority = 1;
sched_setparam(0, ¶m);
param.sched_priority = 0;
sched_getparam(0, ¶m);
if (param.sched_priority != 1)
printf("failed priority setting (found %d instead of 1)\n",
param.sched_priority);
else
printf("priority setting fine\n");

After adding all the records to the tramp_hash, add a check that makes

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
In the loop of ftrace_save_ops_tramp_hash(), it adds all the recs
to the ops hash if the rec has only one callback attached and the
ops is connected to the rec. It gives a nasty warning and shuts down
ftrace if the rec doesn't have a trampoline set for it. But this
can happen with the following scenario:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo schedule do_IRQ > set_ftrace_filter
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo schedule > instances/foo/set_ftrace_filter
# echo function_graph > current_function
# echo function > instances/foo/current_function
# echo nop > instances/foo/current_function
The above would then trigger the following warning and disable

This is effectively a revert of 7b9a7ec565
plus fixing it a different way...
We found, when trying to run an application from an application which
had dropped privs that the kernel does security checks on undefined
capability bits. This was ESPECIALLY difficult to debug as those
undefined bits are hidden from /proc/$PID/status.
Consider a root application which drops all capabilities from ALL 4
capability sets. We assume, since the application is going to set
eff/perm/inh from an array that it will clear not only the defined caps
less than CAP_LAST_CAP, but also the higher 28ish bits which are
undefined future capabilities.
The BSET gets cleared differently. Instead it is cleared one bit at a
time. The problem here is that in security/commoncap.c::cap_task_prctl()
we actually check the validity of a capability being read. So any task
which attempts to 'read all things set in bset' followed by 'unset all
things set in bset' will not even attempt to unset the undefined bits
higher than CAP_LAST_CAP.
So the 'parent' will look something like:
CapInh: 0000000000000000
CapPrm: 0000000000000000
CapEff: 0000000000000000
CapBnd: ffffffc000000000
All of this 'should' be fine. Given that these are undefined bits that
aren't supposed to have anything to do with permissions. But they do...
So lets now consider a task which cleared the eff/perm/inh completely
and cleared all of the valid caps in the bset (but not the invalid caps
it couldn't read out of the kernel). We know that this is exactly what
the libcap-ng library does and what the go capabilities library does.
They both leave you in that above situation if you try to clear all of
you capapabilities from all 4 sets. If that root task calls execve()
the child task will pick up all caps not blocked by the bset. The bset
however does not block bits higher than CAP_LAST_CAP. So now the child
task has bits in eff which are not in the parent. These are
'meaningless' undefined bits, but still bits which the parent doesn't
have.
The problem is now in cred_cap_issubset() (or any operation which does a
subset test) as the child, while a subset for valid cap bits, is not a
subset for invalid cap bits! So now we set durring commit creds that
the child is not dumpable. Given it is 'more priv' than its parent. It
also means the parent cannot ptrace the child and other stupidity.
The solution here:
1) stop hiding capability bits in status
This makes debugging easier!
2) stop giving any task undefined capability bits. it's simple, it you
don't put those invalid bits in CAP_FULL_SET you won't get them in init
and you won't get them in any other task either.
This fixes the cap_issubset() tests and resulting fallout (which
made the init task in a docker container untraceable among other
things)
3) mask out undefined bits when sys_capset() is called as it might use
~0, ~0 to denote 'all capabilities' for backward/forward compatibility.
This lets 'capsh --caps="all=eip" -- -c /bin/bash' run.
4) mask out undefined bit when we read a file capability off of disk as
again likely all bits are set in the xattr for forward/backward
compatibility.
This lets 'setcap all+pe /bin/bash; /bin/bash' run

During suspend we call sched_clock_poll() to update the epoch and
accumulated time and reprogram the sched_clock_timer to fire
before the next wrap-around time. Unfortunately,
sched_clock_poll() doesn't restart the timer, instead it relies
on the hrtimer layer to do that and during suspend we aren't
calling that function from the hrtimer layer. Instead, we're
reprogramming the expires time while the hrtimer is enqueued,
which can cause the hrtimer tree to be corrupted. Furthermore, we
restart the timer during suspend but we update the epoch during
resume which seems counter-intuitive.
Let's fix this by saving the accumulated state and canceling the
timer during suspend. On resume we can update the epoch and
restart the timer similar to what we would do if we were starting
the clock for the first time.

There's a helper function to get a ring buffer page size (the number
of bytes of data recorded on the page), called rb_page_size().
Use that instead of open coding it.

By caching the ntp_tick_length() when we correct the frequency error,
and then using that cached value to accumulate error, we avoid large
initial errors when the tick length is changed.
This makes convergence happen much faster in the simulator, since the
initial error doesn't have to be slowly whittled away.
This initially seems like an accounting error, but Miroslav pointed out
that ntp_tick_length() can change mid-tick, so when we apply it in the
error accumulation, we are applying any recent change to the entire tick.
This approach chooses to apply changes in the ntp_tick_length() only to
the next tick, which allows us to calculate the freq correction before
using the new tick length, which avoids accummulating error.
Credit to Miroslav for pointing this out and providing the original patch
this functionality has been pulled out from, along with the rational.

The existing timekeeping_adjust logic has always been complicated
to understand. Further, since it was developed prior to NOHZ becoming
common, its not surprising it performs poorly when NOHZ is enabled.
Since Miroslav pointed out the problematic nature of the existing code
in the NOHZ case, I've tried to refactor the code to perform better.
The problem with the previous approach was that it tried to adjust
for the total cumulative error using a scaled dampening factor. This
resulted in large errors to be corrected slowly, while small errors
were corrected quickly. With NOHZ the timekeeping code doesn't know
how far out the next tick will be, so this results in bad
over-correction to small errors, and insufficient correction to large
errors.
Inspired by Miroslav's patch, I've refactored the code to try to
address the correction in two steps.
1) Check the future freq error for the next tick, and if the frequency
error is large, try to make sure we correct it so it doesn't cause
much accumulated error.
2) Then make a small single unit adjustment to correct any cumulative
error that has collected over time.
This method performs fairly well in the simulator Miroslav created.
Major credit to Miroslav for pointing out the issue, providing the
original patch to resolve this, a simulator for testing, as well as
helping debug and resolve issues in my implementation so that it
performed closer to his original implementation.

In the GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD update_vsyscall implementation,
we take the tk_xtime() value, which returns a timespec64, and
store it in a timespec.
This luckily is ok, since the only architectures that use
GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD are ia64 and ppc64, which are both
64 bit systems where timespec64 is the same as a timespec.
Even so, for cleanliness reasons, use the conversion function
to assign the proper type.
