With gcc4.6, some instances of concrete inlined function looks redundant and broken, because it appears inside of a concrete instance and its call_file and call_line are same as the original abstruct's decl_file and decl_line respectively. e.g. [ d1aa] subprogram external (flag) Yes name (strp) "add_timer" decl_file (data1) 2 ;here is original decl_line (data2) 847 ;line and file prototyped (flag) Yes inline (data1) inlined (1) sibling (ref4) [ d1c6] ... [ 11d84] subprogram abstract_origin (ref4) [ d1aa] ; concrete instance low_pc (addr) .text+0x000000000000246f <add_timer> high_pc (addr) .text+0x000000000000248b <mod_timer_pending> frame_base (block1) [ 0] call_frame_cfa sibling (ref4) [ 11dd9] [ 11d9f] formal_parameter abstract_origin (ref4) [ d1b9] location (data4) location list [ 701b] [ 11da8] inlined_subroutine abstract_origin (ref4) [ d1aa] ; redundant instance low_pc (addr) .text+0x000000000000247e <add_timer+0xf> high_pc (addr) .text+0x0000000000002480 <add_timer+0x11> call_file (data1) 2 ; call line and file call_line (data2) 847 ; are same as above Those redundant instances leads unwilling results; e.g. find probe points inside of functions even if we specify a function entry as below; $ perf probe -V add_timer Available variables at add_timer @<add_timer+0> struct timer_list* timer @<add_timer+15> (No matched variables) So, this filters out those redundant instances based on call-site and decl-site information.

gcc 4.6 generates a concrete out-of-line instance when there is a function which is implicitly inlined somewhere but also has its own instance. The concrete out-of-line instance means that it has an abstract origin of the function which is referred by not only inlined-subroutines but also a concrete subprogram. Since current dwarf_func_inline_instances() can find only instances of inlined-subroutines, this introduces new die_walk_instances() to find both of subprogram and inlined-subroutines. e.g. without this, Available variables at sched_group_rt_period @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9> struct task_group* tg perf probe failed to find actual subprogram instance of sched_group_rt_period(). With this, Available variables at sched_group_rt_period @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9> struct task_group* tg @<sched_group_rt_period+0> struct task_group* tg Now it found the sched_group_rt_period() itself.

Fix variable searching logic to search one in inner than local scope or global(CU) scope. In the other words, skip searching in intermediate scopes. e.g., in the following code, int var1; void inline infunc(int i) { i++; <--- [A] } void func(void) { int var1, var2; infunc(var2); } At [A], "var1" should point the global variable "var1", however, if user mis-typed as "var2", variable search should be failed. However, current logic searches variable infunc() scope, global scope, and then func() scope. Thus, it can find "var2" variable in func() scope. This may not be what user expects. So, it would better not search outer scopes except outermost (compile unit) scope which contains only global variables, when it failed to find given variable in local scope. E.g. Without this: $ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > without.vars With this: $ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > with.vars Check the diff: $ diff without.vars with.vars 88d87 < int cpu 133d131 < long unsigned int* switch_count These vars are actually in the scope of schedule(), the caller of pre_schedule().

Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables, as below; $ perf probe -L pre_schedule <pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0> 0 static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev) { 2 if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule) 3 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev); } However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(), because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope. $ perf probe -V pre_schedule Available variables at pre_schedule @<schedule+445> int cpu long unsigned int* switch_count struct rq* rq struct task_struct* prev This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of the instance of inlined function.

Fix line-range collector to walk all instances of inlined function, because some execution paths can be optimized out depending on the function argument of instances. E.g.) inline_func (arg) { if (arg) do_something; else do_another; } func_A() { inline_func(1) } func_B() { inline_func(0) } In this case, func_A may have only do_something code and func_B may have only do_another.

Fix perf probe to walk through the lines of all nested inlined function call sites and declared lines when a whole CU is passed to the line walker. The die_walk_lines() can have two different type of DIEs, subprogram (or inlined-subroutine) DIE and CU DIE. If a caller passes a subprogram DIE, this means that the walker walk on lines of given subprogram. In this case, it just needs to search on direct children of DIE tree for finding call-site information of inlined function which directly called from given subprogram. On the other hand, if a caller passes a CU DIE to the walker, this means that the walker have to walk on all lines in the source files included in given CU DIE. In this case, it has to search whole DIE trees of all subprograms to find the call-site information of all nested inlined functions. Without this patch: $ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157 </home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151> static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v) { 154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL); } With this: $ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157 </home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151> 152 static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v) { 154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL); } As you can see, --line option with source line range shows the declared lines as probe-able.

Just like files-layout, blocks & objects layouts are part of the NFS 4.1 protocol and should be automatically selected if NFS_4_1 is selected. The small problem is that these depend on other Kernel support being present, while files only depends on NFS itself. This patch removes from the user choice the presence of objects and blocks layout. But makes sure these are selected only if the depended subsystems are present in the Kernel.

However, the first credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is enabled, credits are needed to create the selinux xattr as well. Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert: J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0); Fix this by increasing the reservation size.

The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and similar functions. Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to buggy programs. The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve(). The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues. Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve() behaviour is not changed. Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork(). The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one. Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag). v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

If we bring the recorded perf data together with kernel binary from another machine using: on server A: perf archive on server B: tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug the build_id kernel dso is not properly recognized during the "perf report" command on server B. The reason is, that build_id dsos are added during the session initialization, while the kernel maps are created during the sample event processing. The machine__create_kernel_maps functions ends up creating new dso object for kernel, but it does not check if we already have one added by build_id processing. Also the build_id reading ABI quirk added in commit: - commit b2511481 perf build-id: Add quirk to deal with perf.data file format breakage populates the "struct build_id_event::pid" with 0, which is later interpreted as DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID. This is not always correct, so it's better to guess the pid value based on the "struct build_id_event::header::misc" value. - Tested with data generated on x86 kernel version v2.6.34 and reported back on x86_64 current kernel. - Not tested for guest kernel case. Note the problem stays for PERF_RECORD_MMAP events recorded by perf that does not use proper pid (HOST_KERNEL_ID/DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID). They are misinterpreted within the current perf code. Probably there's not much we can do about that.

syslog-ng versions before 3.3.0beta1 (2011-05-12) assume that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is sufficient to access syslog, so ever since CAP_SYSLOG was introduced (2010-11-25) they have triggered a warning. Commit ee24aebf ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now") improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping the WARN_ONCE(). But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a recent kernel. Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.

Johannes Weiner has reported a crash during parallel memory cgroup removal: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 IP: [<ffffffff81083b70>] css_is_ancestor+0x20/0x70 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Pid: 19677, comm: rmdir Tainted: G W 3.0.0-mm1-00188-gf38d32b #35 ECS MCP61M-M3/MCP61M-M3 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81083b70>] css_is_ancestor+0x20/0x70 RSP: 0018:ffff880077b09c88 EFLAGS: 00010202 Process rmdir (pid: 19677, threadinfo ffff880077b08000, task ffff8800781bb310) Call Trace: [<ffffffff810feba3>] mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree+0x33/0x40 [<ffffffff810feccf>] drain_all_stock+0x11f/0x170 [<ffffffff81103211>] mem_cgroup_force_empty+0x231/0x6d0 [<ffffffff811036c4>] mem_cgroup_pre_destroy+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffff81080559>] cgroup_rmdir+0xb9/0x500 [<ffffffff81114d26>] vfs_rmdir+0x86/0xe0 [<ffffffff81114e7b>] do_rmdir+0xfb/0x110 [<ffffffff81114ea6>] sys_rmdir+0x16/0x20 [<ffffffff8154d76b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b We are crashing because we try to dereference cached memcg when we are checking whether we should wait for draining on the cache. The cache is already cleaned up, though. There is also a theoretical chance that the cached memcg gets freed between we test for the FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE and dereference it in mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 mem=stock->cached stock->cached=NULL clear_bit test_and_set_bit test_bit() ... <preempted> mem_cgroup_destroy use after free The percpu_charge_mutex protected from this race because sync draining is exclusive. It is safer to revert now and come up with a more parallel implementation later.

This patch fixes the compile error reported at the address: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40292 The problem arises when compiling eCryptfs as built-in and the 'encrypted' key type as a module. The patch prevents this combination from being set in the kernel configuration, by fixing the eCryptfs dependencies.

The external symbol files are generated by JIT compilers, for example, but we need to make sure they're ours before injecting them to 'perf report'.

deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from __slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot of switching around of per cpu slabs occur. Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are enabled.
