2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h 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.

2010-03-22ppc64 sys_ipc breakage in 2.6.34-rc2Anton Blanchard
I chased down a fail on ppc64 on 2.6.34-rc2 where an application that uses shared memory was getting a SEGV. Commit baed7fc9b580bd3fb8252ff1d9b36eaf1f86b670 ("Add generic sys_ipc wrapper") changed the second argument from an unsigned long to an int. When we call shmget the system call wrappers for sys_ipc will sign extend second (ie the size) which truncates it. It took a while to track down because the call succeeds and strace shows the untruncated size :) The patch below changes second from an int to an unsigned long which fixes shmget on ppc64 (and I assume s390, sparc64 and mips64). Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> -- I assume the function prototypes for the other IPC methods would cause us to sign or zero extend second where appropriate (avoiding any security issues). Come to think of it, the syscall wrappers for each method should do that for us as well. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits. E.g. fetching them twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented. I.e. either use rlimit helpers added in 3e10e716abf3c71bdb5d86b8f507f9e72236c9cd ("resource: add helpers for fetching rlimits") or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.

2010-03-12Add generic sys_ipc wrapperChristoph Hellwig
Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical. There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch maintainers looks over this in details. Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

2009-12-16ipc/sem.c: optimize single sops when semval is zeroManfred Spraul
If multiple simple decrements on the same semaphore are pending, then the current code scans all decrement operations, even if the semaphore value is already 0. The patch optimizes that: if the semaphore value is 0, then there is no need to scan the q->alter entries. Note that this is a common case: It happens if 100 decrements by one are pending and now an increment by one increases the semaphore value from 0 to 1. Without this patch, all 100 entries are scanned. With the patch, only one entry is scanned, then woken up. Then the new rule triggers and the scanning is aborted, without looking at the remaining 99 tasks. With this patch, single sop increment/decrement by 1 are now O(1).

2009-12-16ipc/sem.c: optimize single semop operationsManfred Spraul
sysv sem has the concept of semaphore arrays that consist out of multiple semaphores. Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are supported. The patch optimizes single semaphore operation calls that affect only one semaphore: It's not necessary to scan all pending operations, it is sufficient to scan the per-semaphore list. The idea is from Nick Piggin version of an ipc sem improvement, the implementation is different: The code tries to keep as much common code as possible. As the result, the patch is simpler, but optimizes fewer cases.

Based on Nick's findings: sysv sem has the concept of semaphore arrays that consist out of multiple semaphores. Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are supported. The patch is the first step for optimizing simple, single semaphore operations: In addition to the global list of all pending operations, a 2nd, per-semaphore list with the simple operations is added.

Reduce the amount of scanning of the list of pending semaphore operations: If try_atomic_semop failed, then no changes were applied. Thus no need to restart. Additionally, this patch correct an incorrect comment: It's possible to wait for arbitrary semaphore values (do a dec by <x>, wait-for-zero, inc by <x> in one atomic operation) Both changes are from Nick Piggin, the patch is the result of a different split of the individual changes.

2009-12-16ipc/sem.c: sem preempt improveNick Piggin
The strange sysv semaphore wakeup scheme has a kind of busy-wait lock involved, which could deadlock if preemption is enabled during the "lock". It is an implementation detail (due to a spinlock being held) that this is actually the case. However if "spinlocks" are made preemptible, or if the sem lock is changed to a sleeping lock for example, then the wakeup would become buggy. So this might be a bugfix for -rt kernels. Imagine waker being preempted by wakee and never clearing IN_WAKEUP -- if wakee has higher RT priority then there is a priority inversion deadlock. Even if there is not a priority inversion to cause a deadlock, then there is still time wasted spinning.

Around a month ago, there was some discussion about an improvement of the sysv sem algorithm: Most (at least: some important) users only use simple semaphore operations, therefore it's worthwile to optimize this use case. This patch: Move last looked up sem_undo struct to the head of the task's undo list. Attempt to move common entries to the front of the list so search time is reduced.

2009-09-22hugetlbfs: allow the creation of files suitable for MAP_PRIVATE on the vfs ↵Eric B Munson
internal mount This patchset adds a flag to mmap that allows the user to request that an anonymous mapping be backed with huge pages. This mapping will borrow functionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel internal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping. The MAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without both flags being preset. A new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge pages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn't be MAP_ANONYMOUS. To userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping because the file is not accessible outside of the kernel. This patchset is meant to simplify the programming model. Presently there is a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required to create private, hugepage backed mappings. This patch set would allow use of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs mounted. Unification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has been resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it would break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table abstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on architectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path penalties without providing any benefit on these architectures. This patch: There are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages: 1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs 2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially maps it MAP_SHARED The internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very little that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends hugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be mapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is used in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag.

2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194c21c8fdef840989d0d7b742bb5d4bc removed user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy().

However, user_shm_unlock() is called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled. Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set. However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set. Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time of hugetlb_file_setup(). And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path, which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

2009-06-21ipc: unbreak 32-bit shmctl/semctl/msgctlJohannes Weiner
31a985f "ipc: use __ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION in ipc/util.h" would choose the implementation of ipc_parse_version() based on a symbol defined in <asm/unistd.h>. But it failed to also include this header and thus broke IPC_64-passing 32-bit userspace because the flag wasn't masked out properly anymore and the command not understood. Include <linux/unistd.h> to give the architecture a chance to ask for the no-no-op ipc_parse_version().
