sched/headers: Prepare to move cputime functionality from into

2017-03-02T07:42:39Z

Introduce a trivial, mostly empty header to prepare for the moving of cputime functionality out of sched.h. Update all code that relies on these facilities.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:35Z

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

sched/cputime: Convert task/group cputime to nsecs

2017-02-01T08:13:49Z

Now that most cputime readers use the transition API which return the task cputime in old style cputime_t, we can safely store the cputime in nsecs. This will eventually make cputime statistics less opaque and more granular. Back and forth convertions between cputime_t and nsecs in order to deal with cputime_t random granularity won't be needed anymore.

sched/cputime: Convert guest time accounting to nsecs (u64)

2017-02-01T08:13:48Z

cputime_t is being obsolete and replaced by nsecs units in order to make internal timestamps less opaque and more granular.

fs/proc/array.c: slightly improve render_sigset_t

2016-12-13T02:55:09Z

format_decode and vsnprintf occasionally show up in perf top, so I went looking for places that might not need the full printf power. With the help of kprobes, I gathered some statistics on which format strings we mostly pass to vsnprintf. On a trivial desktop workload, I hit "%x" 25% of the time, so something apparently reads /proc/pid/status (which does 5*16 printf("%x") calls) a lot. With this patch, reading /proc/pid/status is 30% faster according to this microbenchmark: char buf[4096]; int i, fd; for (i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) { fd = open("/proc/self/status", O_RDONLY); read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)); close(fd); } Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474410485-1305-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes Acked-by: Andrei Vagin Acked-by: Kees Cook Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

proc: report no_new_privs state

2016-12-13T02:55:09Z

Similar to being able to examine if a process has been correctly confined with seccomp, the state of no_new_privs is equally interesting, so this adds it to /proc/$pid/status.

fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat

2016-10-20T07:21:41Z

Reporting these fields on a non-current task is dangerous. If the task is in any state other than normal kernel code, they may contain garbage or even kernel addresses on some architectures. (x86_64 used to do this. I bet lots of architectures still do.) With CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, it can OOPS, too. As far as I know, there are no use programs that make any material use of these fields, so just get rid of them.

cred: simpler, 1D supplementary groups

2016-10-08T01:46:30Z

Current supplementary groups code can massively overallocate memory and is implemented in a way so that access to individual gid is done via 2D array. If number of gids is <= 32, memory allocation is more or less tolerable (140/148 bytes). But if it is not, code allocates full page (!) regardless and, what's even more fun, doesn't reuse small 32-entry array. 2D array means dependent shifts, loads and LEAs without possibility to optimize them (gid is never known at compile time). All of the above is unnecessary. Switch to the usual trailing-zero-len-array scheme. Memory is allocated with kmalloc/vmalloc() and only as much as needed. Accesses become simpler (LEA 8(gi,idx,4) or even without displacement). Maximum number of gids is 65536 which translates to 256KB+8 bytes. I think kernel can handle such allocation. On my usual desktop system with whole 9 (nine) aux groups, struct group_info shrinks from 148 bytes to 44 bytes, yay! Nice side effects: - "gi->gid[i]" is shorter than "GROUP_AT(gi, i)", less typing, - fix little mess in net/ipv4/ping.c should have been using GROUP_AT macro but this point becomes moot, - aux group allocation is persistent and should be accounted as such.
