audit: add kernel set-up parameter to override default backlog limit
The default audit_backlog_limit is 64. This was a reasonable limit at one time.
systemd causes so much audit queue activity on startup that auditd doesn't
start before the backlog queue has already overflowed by more than a factor of
2. On a system with audit= not set on the kernel command line, this isn't an
issue since that history isn't kept for auditd when it is available. On a
system with audit=1 set on the kernel command line, kaudit tries to keep that
history until auditd is able to drain the queue.
This default can be changed by the "-b" option in audit.rules once the system
has booted, but won't help with lost messages on boot.
One way to solve this would be to increase the default backlog queue size to
avoid losing any messages before auditd is able to consume them. This would
be overkill to the embedded community and insufficient for some servers.
Another way to solve it might be to add a kconfig option to set the default
based on the system type. An embedded system would get the current (or
smaller) default, while Workstations might get more than now and servers might
get more.
None of these solutions helps if a system's compiled default is too small to
see the lost messages without compiling a new kernel.
This patch adds a kernel set-up parameter (audit already has one to
enable/disable it) "audit_backlog_limit=<n>" that overrides the default to
allow the system administrator to set the backlog limit.

audit: efficiency fix 2: request exclusive wait since all need same resource

The change below increases the efficiency of the audit code and prevents it

Use add_wait_queue_exclusive() in wait_for_auditd() to put the
thread on the wait queue. When kauditd dequeues an skb, all
of the waiting threads are waiting for the same resource, but
only one is going to get it, so there's no need to wake up
more than one waiter.

kauditd_thread() is the only function that removes buffers from audit_skb_queue
so we can't race. If we did, the timeout in wait_for_auditd() would expire and
the waiting thread would continue.

audit: add child record before the create to handle case where create fails
Historically, when a syscall that creates a dentry fails, you get an audit
record that looks something like this (when trying to create a file named
"new" in "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63"):
This record makes no sense since it's associating the inode information for
"/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63" with the path "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new". The recent
patch I posted to fix the audit_inode call in do_last fixes this, by making it
look more like this:
While this is more correct, if the creation of the file fails, then we
have no record of the filename that the user tried to create.
This patch adds a call to audit_inode_child to may_create. This creates
an AUDIT_TYPE_CHILD_CREATE record that will sit in place until the
create succeeds. When and if the create does succeed, then this record
will be updated with the correct inode info from the create.

ARC: Incorrect mm reference used in vmalloc fault handler
A vmalloc fault needs to sync up PGD/PTE entry from init_mm to current

A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from

The reasons it worked so far is amazing:
1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD.
In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref.
2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in

memcg: remove incorrect underflow check
When a memcg is deleted mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() moves charged
memory to the parent memcg. As of v3.11-9444-g3ea67d0 "memcg: add per
cgroup writeback pages accounting" there's bad pointer read. The goal
was to check for counter underflow. The counter is a per cpu counter
and there are two problems with the code:
(1) per cpu access function isn't used, instead a naked pointer is used
which easily causes oops.
(2) the check doesn't sum all cpus
The fix is to remove the check. It's currently dangerous and isn't
worth fixing it to use something expensive, such as
percpu_counter_sum(), for each reparented page. __this_cpu_read() isn't
enough to fix this because there's no guarantees of the current cpus
count. The only guarantees is that the sum of all per-cpu counter is >=
nr_pages.

lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab page
Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper
functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls
flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are
written to.
Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug:
- Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to
block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page
finally
- According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called
on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page.
- ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page
mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the
slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered.
Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled,
and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)'
before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

mm: memcg: fix test for child groups
When memcg code needs to know whether any given memcg has children, it
uses the cgroup child iteration primitives and returns true/false
depending on whether the iteration loop is executed at least once or
not.
Because a cgroup's list of children is RCU protected, these primitives
require the RCU read-lock to be held, which is not the case for all
memcg callers. This results in the following splat when e.g. enabling
hierarchy mode:
In the memcg case, we only care about children when we are attempting to
modify inheritable attributes interactively. Racing with deletion could
mean a spurious -EBUSY, no problem. Racing with addition is handled
just fine as well through the memcg_create_mutex: if the child group is
not on the list after the mutex is acquired, it won't be initialized
from the parent's attributes until after the unlock.

Greg Thelen [Wed, 30 Oct 2013 20:56:21 +0000 (13:56 -0700)]
memcg: use __this_cpu_sub() to dec stats to avoid incorrect subtrahend casting
As of commit 3ea67d06e467 ("memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages
accounting") memcg counter errors are possible when moving charged
memory to a different memcg. Charge movement occurs when processing
writes to memory.force_empty, moving tasks to a memcg with
memcg.move_charge_at_immigrate=1, or memcg deletion.
An example showing error after memory.force_empty:
mapped_file should end with 0. 4503599627370496 == 0x10,0000,0000,0000 == 0x100,0000,0000 pages 1048576 == 0x10,0000 == 0x100 pages
This issue only affects the source memcg on 64 bit machines; the
destination memcg counters are correct. So the rmdir case is not too
important because such counters are soon disappearing with the entire
memcg. But the memcg.force_empty and memory.move_charge_at_immigrate=1
cases are larger problems as the bogus counters are visible for the
(possibly long) remaining life of the source memcg.
The problem is due to memcg use of __this_cpu_from(.., -nr_pages), which
is subtly wrong because it subtracts the unsigned int nr_pages (either
-1 or -512 for THP) from a signed long percpu counter. When
nr_pages=-1, -nr_pages=0xffffffff. On 64 bit machines stat->count[idx]
is signed 64 bit. So memcg's attempt to simply decrement a count (e.g.
from 1 to 0) boils down to:
long count = 1
unsigned int nr_pages = 1
count += -nr_pages /* -nr_pages == 0xffff,ffff */
count is now 0x1,0000,0000 instead of 0
The fix is to subtract the unsigned page count rather than adding its
negation. This only works once "percpu: fix this_cpu_sub() subtrahend
casting for unsigneds" is applied to fix this_cpu_sub().

percpu: fix this_cpu_sub() subtrahend casting for unsigneds
this_cpu_sub() is implemented as negation and addition.
This patch casts the adjustment to the counter type before negation to
sign extend the adjustment. This helps in cases where the counter type
is wider than an unsigned adjustment. An alternative to this patch is
to declare such operations unsupported, but it seemed useful to avoid
surprises.
This patch specifically helps the following example:
unsigned int delta = 1
preempt_disable()
this_cpu_write(long_counter, 0)
this_cpu_sub(long_counter, delta)
preempt_enable()
Before this change long_counter on a 64 bit machine ends with value
0xffffffff, rather than 0xffffffffffffffff. This is because
this_cpu_sub(pcp, delta) boils down to this_cpu_add(pcp, -delta),
which is basically:
long_counter = 0 + 0xffffffff
Also apply the same cast to:
__this_cpu_sub()
__this_cpu_sub_return()
this_cpu_sub_return()
All percpu_test.ko passes, especially the following cases which
previously failed:
l -= ui_one;
__this_cpu_sub(long_counter, ui_one);

Notice that we had a very low number of inodes, which were reduced to
zero my mult_frac().
Now, prune_icache_sb() calls list_lru_walk_node() passing that number of
inodes (0) into that as the number of objects to scan:
long prune_icache_sb(struct super_block *sb, unsigned long nr_to_scan,
int nid)
{
LIST_HEAD(freeable);
long freed;
spin_lock(&nlru->lock);
restart:
list_for_each_safe(item, n, &nlru->list) {
enum lru_status ret;
/*
* decrement nr_to_walk first so that we don't livelock if we
* get stuck on large numbesr of LRU_RETRY items
*/
if (--(*nr_to_walk) == 0)
break;
So, if *nr_to_walk was zero when this function was entered, that means
we're wanting to operate on (~0UL)+1 objects - which might as well be
infinite.
Clearly this is not correct behaviour. If we think about the behaviour
of this function when *nr_to_walk is 1, then clearly it's wrong - we
decrement first and then test for zero - which results in us doing
nothing at all. A post-decrement would give the desired behaviour -
we'd try to walk one object and one object only if *nr_to_walk were one.
It also gives the correct behaviour for zero - we exit at this point.

MIPS: malta: Fix GIC interrupt offsets
The GIC interrupt offsets are calculated based on the value of NR_CPUS.
However, this is wrong because NR_CPUS may or may not contain the real
number of the actual cpus present in the system. We fix that by using
the 'nr_cpu_ids' variable which contains the real number of cpus in
the system. Previously, an MT core (eg with 8 VPEs) will fail to boot if
NR_CPUS was > 8 with the following errors:

Revert "ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid doing too much for spurious notifies"
Commit 2dc4128 (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid doing too much for
spurious notifies) changed the enable_slot() to check return value of
pci_scan_slot() and if it is zero return early from the function. It
means that there were no new devices in this particular slot.
However, if a device appeared deeper in the hierarchy the code now
ignores it causing things like Thunderbolt chaining fail to recognize
new devices.
The problem with Alex Williamson's machine was solved with commit a47d8c8 (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid parent bus rescans on spurious
device checks) and hence we should be able to restore the original
functionality that we always rescan on bus check notification.
On a device check notification we still check what acpiphp_rescan_slot()
returns and on zero bail out early.
