posix_types.h: Cleanup stale __NFDBITS and related definitions

2012-08-09T15:31:39Z

commit 8ded2bbc1845e19c771eb55209aab166ef011243 upstream. Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include after including . A build failure would be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc. It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused macros. Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec

2012-07-16T16:04:08Z

commit 4fe7efdbdfb1c7e7a7f31decfd831c0f31d37091 upstream. do_exit() and exec_mmap() call sync_mm_rss() before mm_release() does put_user(clear_child_tid) which can update task->rss_stat and thus make mm->rss_stat inconsistent. This triggers the "BUG:" printk in check_mm(). Let's fix this bug in the safest way, and optimize/cleanup this later.

kernel/exit.c: if init dies, log a signal which killed it, if any

2012-03-23T23:58:32Z

I just received another user's pleas for help when their init mysteriously died. I again explained that they need to check whether it died because of bad instruction, a segv, or something else. Which was an annoying detour into writing a trivial C program to spawn his init and print its exit code: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2012-January/077172.html I hear you saying "just test it under /bin/sh". Well, the crashing init _was_ /bin/sh. Which prompted me to make kernel do this first step automatically. We can print exit code, which makes it possible to see that death was from e.g. SIGILL without writing test programs.

prctl: add PR_{SET,GET}_CHILD_SUBREAPER to allow simple process supervision

2012-03-23T23:58:32Z

Userspace service managers/supervisors need to track their started services. Many services daemonize by double-forking and get implicitly re-parented to PID 1. The service manager will no longer be able to receive the SIGCHLD signals for them, and is no longer in charge of reaping the children with wait(). All information about the children is lost at the moment PID 1 cleans up the re-parented processes. With this prctl, a service manager process can mark itself as a sort of 'sub-init', able to stay as the parent for all orphaned processes created by the started services. All SIGCHLD signals will be delivered to the service manager. Receiving SIGCHLD and doing wait() is in cases of a service-manager much preferred over any possible asynchronous notification about specific PIDs, because the service manager has full access to the child process data in /proc and the PID can not be re-used until the wait(), the service-manager itself is in charge of, has happened. As a side effect, the relevant parent PID information does not get lost by a double-fork, which results in a more elaborate process tree and 'ps' output: before: # ps afx 253 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork 294 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd 328 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/modem-manager 608 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/colord 658 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/upowerd 819 ?

Ss 0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork 426 ? Sl 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd 449 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/modem-manager 635 ? Sl 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/colord 705 ?

Sl 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/packagekitd This prctl is orthogonal to PID namespaces. PID namespaces are isolated from each other, while a service management process usually requires the services to live in the same namespace, to be able to talk to each other. Users of this will be the systemd per-user instance, which provides init-like functionality for the user's login session and D-Bus, which activates bus services on-demand. Both need init-like capabilities to be able to properly keep track of the services they start. Many thanks to Oleg for several rounds of review and insights.

mm, counters: remove task argument to sync_mm_rss() and __sync_task_rss_stat()

2012-03-22T00:54:59Z

sync_mm_rss() can only be used for current to avoid race conditions in iterating and clearing its per-task counters. Remove the task argument for it and its helper function, __sync_task_rss_stat(), to avoid thinking it can be used safely for anything other than current.

exit_signal: fix the "parent has changed security domain" logic

2012-03-20T21:16:50Z

exit_notify() changes ->exit_signal if the parent already did exec. This doesn't really work, we are not going to send the signal now if there is another live thread or the exiting task is traced. The parent can exec before the last dies or the tracer detaches. Move this check into do_notify_parent() which actually sends the signal. The user-visible change is that we do not change ->exit_signal, and thus the exiting task is still "clone children" for do_wait()->eligible_child(__WCLONE). Hopefully this is fine, the current logic is racy anyway. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
