genirq: Prevent proc race against freeing of irq descriptors

2014-12-13T12:33:07Z

Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt descriptor. CPU0 CPU1 show_interrupts() desc = irq_to_desc(X); free_desc(desc) remove_from_radix_tree(); kfree(desc); raw_spinlock_irq(&desc->lock); /proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible. The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed. For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see the old correct value or the cleared out ones. Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock. Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it. Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already protected against removal.

/proc/stat: convert to single_open_size()

2014-07-03T16:21:54Z

These two patches are supposed to "fix" failed order-4 memory allocations which have been observed when reading /proc/stat. The problem has been observed on s390 as well as on x86. To address the problem change the seq_file memory allocations to fallback to use vmalloc, so that allocations also work if memory is fragmented. This approach seems to be simpler and less intrusive than changing /proc/stat to use an interator. Also it "fixes" other users as well, which use seq_file's single_open() interface. This patch (of 2): Use seq_file's single_open_size() to preallocate a buffer that is large enough to hold the whole output, instead of open coding it. Also calculate the requested size using the number of online cpus instead of possible cpus, since the size of the output only depends on the number of online cpus.

cputime: Default implementation of nsecs -> cputime conversion

2014-03-13T14:56:43Z

The architectures that override cputime_t (s390, ppc) don't provide any version of nsecs_to_cputime(). Indeed this cputime_t implementation by backend only happens when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y under which the core code doesn't make any use of nsecs_to_cputime(). At least for now. We are going to make a broader use of it so lets provide a default version with a per usecs granularity. It should be good enough for most usecases.

fs/proc: don't use module_init for non-modular core code

2014-01-24T00:37:02Z

PROC_FS is a bool, so this code is either present or absent. It will never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading. Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be ugly at best. Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code) will thus change these registrations from level 6-device to level 5-fs (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that small difference has been observed during testing, or is expected. Also note that this change uncovers a missing semicolon bug in the registration of vmcore_init as an initcall.

stat: Use size_t for sizes instead of unsigned

nohz: Fix idle ticks in cpu summary line of /proc/stat

2012-10-10T12:05:21Z

Git commit 09a1d34f8535ecf9 "nohz: Make idle/iowait counter update conditional" introduced a bug in regard to cpu hotplug. The effect is that the number of idle ticks in the cpu summary line in /proc/stat is still counting ticks for offline cpus. Reproduction is easy, just start a workload that keeps all cpus busy, switch off one or more cpus and then watch the idle field in top. On a dual-core with one cpu 100% busy and one offline cpu you will get something like this: %Cpu(s): 48.7 us, 1.3 sy, 0.0 ni, 50.0 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, %0.0 st The problem is that an offline cpu still has ts->idle_active == 1. To fix this we should make sure that the cpu is online when calling get_cpu_idle_time_us and get_cpu_iowait_time_us.

proc: stats: Use arch_idle_time for idle and iowait times if available

2012-03-30T13:43:33Z

Git commit a25cac5198d4ff28 "proc: Consider NO_HZ when printing idle and iowait times" changes the code for /proc/stat to use get_cpu_idle_time_us and get_cpu_iowait_time_us if the system is running with nohz enabled. For architectures which define arch_idle_time (currently s390 only) this is a change for the worse. The result of arch_idle_time is supposed to be the exact sleep time of the target cpu and should be used instead of the value kept by the scheduler.

proc: speed up /proc/stat handling

2012-03-23T23:58:42Z

On a typical 16 cpus machine, "cat /proc/stat" gives more than 4096 bytes, and is slow : # strace -T -o /tmp/STRACE cat /proc/stat | wc -c 5826 # grep "cpu " /tmp/STRACE read(0, "cpu 1949310 19 2144714 12117253"..., 32768) = 5826 <0.001504> Thats partly because show_stat() must be called twice since initial buffer size is too small (4096 bytes for less than 32 possible cpus) Fix this by : 1) Taking into account nr_irqs in the initial buffer sizing. 2) Using ksize() to allow better filling of initial buffer.
