* perf_counter: Add fork eventPeter Zijlstra2009-06-041-2/+2

* perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context structPaul Mackerras2009-05-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct. The main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU switching in a later patch. This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

Because posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other expired cpu timers. Change copy_signal() to set cputime_expires.prof_exp if we have RLIMIT_CPU. Also, set cputimer.running = 1 in that case. This is not strictly necessary, but imho makes sense.

| * | | | | signals: protect cinit from blocked fatal signalsSukadev Bhattiprolu2009-04-021-0/+2

But if a signal is blocked when it is posted, we cannot drop the signal since the receiver may install a handler before unblocking the signal. Once this signal is queued however, the receiver container-init has no way of knowing if the signal was sent from an ancestor or descendant namespace. This patch ensures that contianer-init drops all SIG_DFL signals in get_signal_to_deliver() except SIGKILL/SIGSTOP. If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from a descendant of container-init they are never queued (i.e dropped in sig_ignored() in an earler patch). If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from parent namespace, the signal is queued and container-init processes the signal. IOW, if get_signal_to_deliver() sees a sig_kernel_only() signal for global or container-init, the signal must have been generated internally or must have come from an ancestor ns and we process the signal. Further, the signal_group_exit() check was needed to cover the case of a multi-threaded init sending SIGKILL to other threads when doing an exit() or exec(). But since the new sig_kernel_only() check covers the SIGKILL, the signal_group_exit() check is no longer needed and can be removed. Finally, now that we have all pieces in place, set SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE for container-inits.

The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, for this we need to re-add the exit stats that were removed in the initial itimer rework (f06febc9: timers: fix itimer/many thread hang). Furthermore, since that full sum can be rather slow for large thread groups and we have the complete dead task stats, revert the do_notify_parent time computation.

This was added by "x86, bts: add fork and exit handling", commit bf53de907dfdaac178c92d774aae7370d7b97d20. I can't test this, ds_request_bts() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, but I strongly believe this needs the fix. I think something like this program int main(void) { int pid = fork(); if (!pid) { ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, NULL, NULL); kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); fork(); } else { struct ptrace_bts_config bts = { .flags = PTRACE_BTS_O_ALLOC, .size = 4 * 4096, }; wait(NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, NULL, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK); ptrace(PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG, pid, &bts, sizeof(bts)); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL); sleep(1); } return 0; } should crash the kernel. If the task is traced by its natural parent ptrace_reparented() returns 0 but we should clear ->btsxxx anyway.

Also, using per-cpu allocations for the thread-groups complicates the per-cpu allocator in that its currently aimed to be a fixed sized allocator and the only possible extention to that would be vmap based, which is seriously constrained on 32 bit archs. So making the per-cpu memory requirement depend on the number of processes is an issue. Lastly, it didn't deal with cpu-hotplug, although admittedly that might be fixable.

This is a very simple implementation with a couple of drawbacks: 1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last word on the stack -- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim 2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough that the canary location could get skipped over -- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun -- though this happens fairly often in my testing :( With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might do: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680 IP: [<ffffffff810253df>] update_curr+0x9a/0xa8 PGD 8063 PUD 0 Thread overran stack or stack corrupted Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 0 ... ... unless the stack overrun is so bad that it corrupts some other thread.
