<content type='text'>
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y used to accumulate user time and
account it on ticks and context switches only through the
vtime_account_user() function.

Now this model has been generalized on the 3 archs for all kind of
cputime (system, irq, ...) and all the cputime flushing happens under
vtime_account_user().

So let's rename this function to better reflect its new role.

In order to prepare for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y to delay
cputime accounting to the tick, let's allow archs to account cputime
directly to gtime.

<title>sched/cputime, powerpc, s390: Make scaled cputime arch specific</title>

<content type='text'>
Only s390 and powerpc have hardware facilities allowing to measure
cputimes scaled by frequency. On all other architectures
utimescaled/stimescaled are equal to utime/stime (however they are
accounted separately).

Remove {u,s}timescaled accounting on all architectures except
powerpc and s390, where those values are explicitly accounted
in the proper places.

<content type='text'>
The pv_time_ops structure contains a function pointer for the
"steal_clock" functionality used only by KVM and Xen on ARM. Xen on x86
uses its own mechanism to account for the "stolen" time a thread wasn't
able to run due to hypervisor scheduling.

Add support in Xen arch independent time handling for this feature by
moving it out of the arm arch into drivers/xen and remove the x86 Xen
hack.

<title>genirq: Prevent proc race against freeing of irq descriptors</title>
<updated>2014-12-13T12:33:07Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=c291ee622165cb2c8d4e7af63fffd499354a23be'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c291ee622165cb2c8d4e7af63fffd499354a23be</id>
<content type='text'>
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(&amp;desc-&gt;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.
