| * fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c: provide NOMMU loader for regular ELF binariesRich Felker2015-10-211-8/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ELF binary loader in binfmt_elf.c requires an MMU, making it impossible to use regular ELF binaries on NOMMU archs. However, the FDPIC ELF loader in binfmt_elf_fdpic.c is fully capable as a loader for plain ELF, which requires constant displacements between LOAD segments, since it already supports FDPIC ELF files flagged as needing constant displacement. This patch adjusts the FDPIC ELF loader to accept non-FDPIC ELF files on NOMMU archs. They are treated identically to FDPIC ELF files with the constant-displacement flag bit set, except for personality, which must match the ABI of the program being loaded; the PER_LINUX_FDPIC personality controls how the kernel interprets function pointers passed to sigaction. Files that do not set a stack size requirement explicitly are given a default stack size (matching the amount of committed stack the normal ELF loader for MMU archs would give them) rather than being rejected; this is necessary because plain ELF files generally do not declare stack requirements in theit program headers. Only ET_DYN (PIE) format ELF files are supported, since loading at a fixed virtual address is not possible on NOMMU. This patch was developed and tested on J2 (SH2-compatible) but should be usable immediately on all archs where binfmt_elf_fdpic is available. Moreover, by providing dummy definitions of the elf_check_fdpic() and elf_check_const_displacement() macros for archs which lack an FDPIC ABI, it should be possible to enable building of binfmt_elf_fdpic on all other NOMMU archs and thereby give them ELF binary support, but I have not yet tested this. The motivation for using binfmt_elf_fdpic.c rather than adapting binfmt_elf.c to NOMMU is that the former already has all the necessary code to work properly on NOMMU and has already received widespread real-world use and testing. I hope this is not controversial. I'm not really happy with having to unset the FDPIC_FUNCPTRS personality bit when loading non-FDPIC ELF. This bit should really reset automatically on execve, since otherwise, executing non-ELF binaries (e.g. bFLT) from an FDPIC process will leave the personality in the wrong state and severely break signal handling. But that's a separate, existing bug and I don't know the right place to fix it.

To deal with 64-bit types abs64 macro has been introduced but still there are places where abs macro is used incorrectly. To deal with the problem, expand abs macro such that it operates on s64 type when dealing with 64-bit types while still returning long when dealing with smaller types. This fixes one known bug (per John): The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error correction uses a : logarithmic approximation, so any time adjtimex() adjusts the clock : steering, timekeeping_freqadjust() quickly approximates the correct clock : frequency over a series of ticks. : : Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced in commit : dc491596f639438 (Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz), : used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the size of : the approximated adjustment to be made. : : Per include/linux/kernel.h: "abs() should not be used for 64-bit types : (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()". : : Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to take a : quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the proper frequency, : which caused the adjustments to be made much slower then intended (most : easily observed when large adjustments are made).

| * ipc/msg.c: msgsnd: use freezable blocking callManinder Singh2015-10-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When any task is stuck in Interruptible or Uninterruptible state then waking up of that task fails. If wakeup fails, then suspend operation fails and all process send to frezeer state at this moment also gets wakeup. Correct implementation is that if suspend fails, then kernel would retry suspend operation again after some specific timeinterval for some fixed retry count. But as changes suggested by Mr Colin Cross (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/1/424), for the system calls for which issue has been faced process flag being appended with PF_FREEZER_SKIP. We are testing some scenarios in which we have to do multi suspend-resume scenario, and we faced the problem, hence the suggested changes for msgsnd and msgrcv. Avoid waking up every thread sleeping in a msgsnd call during suspend and resume by calling a freezable blocking call. Previous patches modified the freezer to avoid sending wakeups to threads that are blocked in freezable blocking calls. This call was selected to be converted to a freezable call because it doesn't hold any locks or release any resources when interrupted that might be needed by another freezing task or a kernel driver during suspend, and is a common site where idle userspace tasks are blocked.

| * ipc,msg: drop dst nil validation in copy_msgDavidlohr Bueso2015-10-211-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | d0edd8528362 ("ipc: convert invalid scenarios to use WARN_ON") relaxed the nil dst parameter check, originally being a full BUG_ON. However, this check seems quite unnecessary when the only purpose is for ceckpoint/restore (MSG_COPY flag): o The copy variable is set initially to nil, apparently as a way of ensuring that prepare_copy is previously called. Which is in fact done, unconditionally at the beginning of do_msgrcv. o There is no concurrency with 'copy' (stack allocated in do_msgrcv). Furthermore, any errors in 'copy' (and thus prepare_copy/copy_msg) should always handled by IS_ERR() family. Therefore remove this check altogether as it can never occur with the current users.
