2011-12-05x86: Panic on detection of stack overflowMitsuo Hayasaka
Currently, messages are just output on the detection of stack overflow, which is not sufficient for systems that need a high reliability. This is because in general the overflow may corrupt data, and the additional corruption may occur due to reading them unless systems stop. This patch adds the sysctl parameter kernel.panic_on_stackoverflow and causes a panic when detecting the overflows of kernel, IRQ and exception stacks except user stack according to the parameter. It is disabled by default. Signed-off-by: Mitsuo Hayasaka <mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com> Cc: yrl.pp-manager.tt@hitachi.com Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Cc: "H.

2011-12-05perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-eventPeter Zijlstra
When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

2011-12-04netfilter: add ipv4 reverse path filter matchFlorian Westphal
This tries to do the same thing as fib_validate_source(), but differs in several aspects. The most important difference is that the reverse path filter built into fib_validate_source uses the oif as iif when performing the reverse lookup. We do not do this, as the oif is not yet known by the time the PREROUTING hook is invoked. We can't wait until FORWARD chain because by the time FORWARD is invoked ipv4 forward path may have already sent icmp messages is response to to-be-discarded-via-rpfilter packets. To avoid the such an additional lookup in PREROUTING, Patrick McHardy suggested to attach the path information directly in the match (i.e., just do what the standard ipv4 path does a bit earlier in PREROUTING). This works, but it also has a few caveats. Most importantly, when using marks in PREROUTING to re-route traffic based on the nfmark, -m rpfilter would have to be used after the nfmark has been set; otherwise the nfmark would have no effect (because the route is already attached). Another problem would be interaction with -j TPROXY, as this target sets an nfmark and uses ACCEPT instead of continue, i.e. such a version of -m rpfilter cannot be used for the initial to-be-intercepted packets. In case in turns out that the oif is required, we can add Patricks suggestion with a new match option (e.g. --rpf-use-oif) to keep ruleset compatibility. Another difference to current builtin ipv4 rpfilter is that packets subject to ipsec transformation are not automatically excluded. If you want this, simply combine -m rpfilter with the policy match. Packets arriving on loopback interfaces always match. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Acked-by: David S.

2011-12-04tcp: take care of misalignmentsEric Dumazet
We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a malicious peer acknowledged sub MSS frame. This currently can happen only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp builds headless skbs (all payload is included in fragments), so the tcp trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay aligned. Some arches cant handle misalignments, so force a head reallocation and shrink headroom to MAX_TCP_HEADER. Dont care about misaligments on x86 and PPC (or other arches setting NET_IP_ALIGN to 0) This patch introduces __pskb_copy() which can specify the headroom of new head, and pskb_copy() becomes a wrapper on top of __pskb_copy() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-12-03net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.Jesse Gross
Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and translate it into packet processing rules.

2011-12-01PM / Domains: Rework system suspend callback routines (v2)Rafael J. Wysocki
The current generic PM domains code attempts to use the generic system suspend operations along with the domains' device stop/start routines, which requires device drivers to assume that their system suspend/resume (and hibernation/restore) callbacks will always be used with generic PM domains. However, in theory, the same hardware may be used in devices that don't belong to any PM domain, in which case it would be necessary to add "fake" PM domains to satisfy the above assumption. Also, the domain the hardware belongs to may not be handled with the help of the generic code. To allow device drivers that may be used along with the generic PM domains code of more flexibility, add new device callbacks, .suspend(), .suspend_late(), .resume_early(), .resume(), .freeze(), .freeze_late(), .thaw_early(), and .thaw(), that can be supplied by the drivers in addition to their "standard" system suspend and hibernation callbacks. These new callbacks, if defined, will be used by the generic PM domains code for the handling of system suspend and hibernation instead of the "standard" ones. This will allow drivers to be designed to work with generic PM domains as well as without them. For backwards compatibility, introduce default implementations of the new callbacks for PM domains that will execute pm_generic_suspend(), pm_generic_suspend_noirq(), pm_generic_resume_noirq(), pm_generic_resume(), pm_generic_freeze(), pm_generic_freeze_noirq(), pm_generic_thaw_noirq(), and pm_generic_thaw(), respectively, for the given device if its driver doesn't define those callbacks.

2011-12-01PM / Domains: Introduce "save/restore state" device callbacksRafael J. Wysocki
The current PM domains code uses device drivers' .runtime_suspend() and .runtime_resume() callbacks as the "save device state" and "restore device state" operations, which may not be appropriate in general, because it forces drivers to assume that they always will be used with generic PM domains. However, in theory, the same hardware may be used in devices that don't belong to any PM domain, in which case it would be necessary to add "fake" PM domains to satisfy the above assumption. It also may be located in a PM domain that's not handled with the help of the generic code. To allow device drivers that may be used along with the generic PM domains code of more flexibility, introduce new device callbacks, .save_state() and .restore_state(), that can be supplied by the drivers in addition to their "standard" runtime PM callbacks. This will allow the drivers to be designed to work with generic PM domains as well as without them. For backwards compatibility, introduce default .save_state() and .restore_state() callback routines for PM domains that will execute a device driver's .runtime_suspend() and .runtime_resume() callbacks, respectively, for the given device if the driver doesn't provide its own implementations of .save_state() and .restore_state().

2011-12-01PM / Domains: Make it possible to use per-device domain callbacksRafael J. Wysocki
The current generic PM domains code requires that the same .stop(), .start() and .active_wakeup() device callback routines be used for all devices in the given domain, which is inflexible and may not cover some specific use cases. For this reason, make it possible to use device specific .start()/.stop() and .active_wakeup() callback routines by adding corresponding callback pointers to struct generic_pm_domain_data. Add a new helper routine, pm_genpd_register_callbacks(), that can be used to populate the new per-device callback pointers. Modify the shmobile's power domains code to allow drivers to add their own code to be run during the device stop and start operations with the help of the new callback pointers.

2011-12-01PM / Runtime: Use device PM QoS constraints (v2)Rafael J. Wysocki
Make the runtime PM core use device PM QoS constraints to check if it is allowed to suspend a given device, so that an error code is returned if the device's own PM QoS constraint is negative or one of its children has already been suspended for too long. If this is not the case, the maximum estimated time the device is allowed to be suspended, computed as the minimum of the device's PM QoS constraint and the PM QoS constraints of its children (reduced by the difference between the current time and their suspend times) is stored in a new device's PM field power.max_time_suspended_ns that can be used by the device's subsystem or PM domain to decide whether or not to put the device into lower-power (and presumably higher-latency) states later (if the constraint is 0, which means "no constraint", the power.max_time_suspended_ns is set to -1). Additionally, the time of execution of the subsystem-level .runtime_suspend() callback for the device is recorded in the new power.suspend_time field for later use by the device's subsystem or PM domain along with power.max_time_suspended_ns (it also is used by the core code when the device's parent is suspended). Introduce a new helper function, pm_runtime_update_max_time_suspended(), allowing subsystems and PM domains (or device drivers) to update the power.max_time_suspended_ns field, for example after changing the power state of a suspended device.

2011-11-30netem: rate extensionHagen Paul Pfeifer
Currently netem is not in the ability to emulate channel bandwidth. Only static delay (and optional random jitter) can be configured. To emulate the channel rate the token bucket filter (sch_tbf) can be used. But TBF has some major emulation flaws. The buffer (token bucket depth/rate) cannot be 0. Also the idea behind TBF is that the credit (token in buckets) fills if no packet is transmitted. So that there is always a "positive" credit for new packets. In real life this behavior contradicts the law of nature where nothing can travel faster as speed of light. E.g.: on an emulated 1000 byte/s link a small IPv4/TCP SYN packet with ~50 byte require ~0.05 seconds - not 0 seconds. Netem is an excellent place to implement a rate limiting feature: static delay is already implemented, tfifo already has time information and the user can skip TBF configuration completely. This patch implement rate feature which can be configured via tc. e.g: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 10kbit To emulate a link of 5000byte/s and add an additional static delay of 10ms: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 10ms rate 5KBps Note: similar to TBF the rate extension is bounded to the kernel timing system. Depending on the architecture timer granularity, higher rates (e.g. 10mbit/s and higher) tend to transmission bursts. Also note: further queues living in network adaptors; see ethtool(8).

2011-11-29dql: Dynamic queue limitsTom Herbert
Implementation of dynamic queue limits (dql). This is a libary which allows a queue limit to be dynamically managed. The goal of dql is to set the queue limit, number of objects to the queue, to be minimized without allowing the queue to be starved. dql would be used with a queue which has these properties: 1) Objects are queued up to some limit which can be expressed as a count of objects. 2) Periodically a completion process executes which retires consumed objects. 3) Starvation occurs when limit has been reached, all queued data has actually been consumed but completion processing has not yet run, so queuing new data is blocked. 4) Minimizing the amount of queued data is desirable. A canonical example of such a queue would be a NIC HW transmit queue. The queue limit is dynamic, it will increase or decrease over time depending on the workload. The queue limit is recalculated each time completion processing is done. Increases occur when the queue is starved and can exponentially increase over successive intervals. Decreases occur when more data is being maintained in the queue than needed to prevent starvation. The number of extra objects, or "slack", is measured over successive intervals, and to avoid hysteresis the limit is only reduced by the miminum slack seen over a configurable time period. dql API provides routines to manage the queue: - dql_init is called to intialize the dql structure - dql_reset is called to reset dynamic values - dql_queued called when objects are being enqueued - dql_avail returns availability in the queue - dql_completed is called when objects have be consumed in the queue Configuration consists of: - max_limit, maximum limit - min_limit, minimum limit - slack_hold_time, time to measure instances of slack before reducing queue limit Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-11-29ASoC: Move SigmaDSP firmware loader to ASoCLars-Peter Clausen
It has been pointed out previously, that the firmware subsystem is not the right place for the SigmaDSP firmware loader. Furthermore the SigmaDSP is currently only used in audio products and we are aiming for better integration into the ASoC framework in the future, with support for ALSA controls for firmware parameters and support dynamic power management as well. So the natural choice for the SigmaDSP firmware loader is the ASoC subsystem.

Currently the SigmaDSP firmware loader only works correctly on little-endian systems. Fix this by using the proper endianess conversion functions.

2011-11-29firmware: Sigma: Prevent out of bounds memory accessLars-Peter Clausen
The SigmaDSP firmware loader currently does not perform enough boundary size checks when processing the firmware. As a result it is possible that a malformed firmware can cause an out of bounds memory access. This patch adds checks which ensure that both the action header and the payload are completely inside the firmware data boundaries before processing them.
