* Cleanup non-arch xtime uses, use get_seconds() or current_kernel_time().john stultz2007-07-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions that we already have available to us. This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ (because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a third of a second or so.

* [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty lockingPeter Zijlstra2006-12-081-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

* [PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulationKaiGai Kohei2006-06-251-13/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is used for per-process data structure. The pacct facility also uses it as a per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt. But those members are saved in __exit_signal(). It's too late. For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads. (see, the following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure before writing out an accounting record. This patch fixes this matter. Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt are done before generating accounting record.

* [PATCH] pacct: avoidance to refer the last thread as a representation of the ↵KaiGai Kohei2006-06-251-18/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | process When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it refers a task_struct of the thread which died last in the process. But any other task_structs are ignored. Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are used by any other threads except the last one. In addition, AFORK flag is always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this process has called execve() after fork(). We have a same matter in ac_exitcode. The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit code of the last thread in the process. There is a possibility this exitcode is not the group leader's one.
* [PATCH] pacct: add pacct_struct to fix some pacct bugs.KaiGai Kohei2006-06-251-15/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | The pacct facility need an i/o operation when an accounting record is generated. There is a possibility to wake OOM killer up. If OOM killer is activated, it kills some processes to make them release process memory regions. But acct_process() is called in the killed processes context before calling exit_mm(), so those processes cannot release own memory. In the results, any processes stop in this point and it finally cause a system stall.

* [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells2006-06-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

* [PATCH] Fix pacct bug in multithreading case.KaiGai Kohei2006-03-311-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed a bug on the process accounting facility. In multi-threading process, some data would be recorded incorrectly when the group_leader dies earlier than one or more threads. The attached patch fixes this problem. See below. 'bugacct' is a test program that create a worker thread after 4 seconds sleeping, then the group_leader dies soon. The worker thread consume CPU/Memory for 6 seconds, then exit. We can estimate 10 seconds as etime and 6 seconds as stime + utime. This is a sample program which the group_leader dies earlier than other threads. The results of same binary execution on different kernel are below. -- accounted records -------------------- | btime | utime | stime | etime | minflt | majflt | comm | original | 13:16:40 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 6.10 | 171 | 0 | bugacct | patched | 13:20:21 | 5.83 | 0.18 | 10.03 | 32776 | 0 | bugacct | (*) bugacct allocates 128MB memory, thus 128MB / 4KB = 32768 of minflt is appropriate. -- Test results in original kernel ------ $ date; time -p ./bugacct Tue Mar 28 13:16:36 JST 2006 <- But pacct said btime is 13:16:40 real 10.11 <- But pacct said etime is 6.10 user 5.96 <- But pacct said utime is 0.00 sys 0.14 <- But pacct said stime is 0.00 $ -- Test results in patched kernel ------- $ date; time -p ./bugacct Tue Mar 28 13:20:21 JST 2006 real 10.04 user 5.83 sys 0.19 $ In the original 2.6.16 kernel, pacct records btime, utime, stime, etime and minflt incorrectly. In my opinion, this problem is caused by an assumption that group_leader dies last. The following section calculates process running time for etime and btime. But it means running time of the thread that dies last, not process. The start_time of the first thread in the process (group_leader) should be reduced from uptime to calculate etime and btime correctly. ---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c: /* calculate run_time in nsec*/ do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime); run_time = (u64)uptime.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC + uptime.tv_nsec; run_time -= (u64)current->start_time.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC + current->start_time.tv_nsec; ---- The following section calculates stime and utime of the process. But it might count the utime and stime of the group_leader duplicatly and ignore the utime and stime of the thread dies last, when one or more threads remain after group_leader dead. The ac_utime should be calculated as the sum of the signal->utime and utime of the thread dies last. The ac_stime should be done also. ---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c: jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->utime, current->signal->utime)); ac.ac_utime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies)); jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->stime, current->signal->stime)); ac.ac_stime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies)); ---- The part of the minflt/majflt calculation has same problem.

* [PATCH] saner handling of auto_acct_off() and DQUOT_OFF() in umountAl Viro2005-11-071-30/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off) b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics. The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of reference to vfsmount. Semantics: - when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done. - normal reference can be cloned into a special one - special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had converted special references to normal and started cleanup). The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2) and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want... The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from deactivate_super(), where it really belongs. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rssHugh Dickins2005-10-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some configurations. Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

* [PATCH] largefile support for accountingPeter Staubach2005-09-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a problem in the accounting subsystem in the kernel can not correctly handle files larger than 2GB. The output file containing the process accounting data can grow very large if the system is large enough and active enough. If the 2GB limit is reached, then the system simply stops storing process accounting data. Another annoying problem is that once the system reaches this 2GB limit, then every process which exits will receive a signal, SIGXFSZ. This signal is generated because an attempt was made to write beyond the limit for the file descriptor. This signal makes it look like every process has exited due to a signal, when in fact, they have not. The solution is to add the O_LARGEFILE flag to the list of flags used to open the accounting file. The rest of the accounting support is already largefile safe. The changes were tested by constructing a large file (just short of 2GB), enabling accounting, and then running enough commands to cause the accounting data generated to increase the size of the file to 2GB. Without the changes, the file grows to 2GB and the last command run in the test script appears to exit due a signal when it has not. With the changes, things work as expected and quietly. There are some user level changes required so that it can deal with largefiles, but those are being handled separately.

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!
