The caller of usbfs_conn_disc_event() in some cases (but not always) already holds usbfs_mutex, so trying to protect the event counter with that lock causes nasty deadlocks. The problem was introduced by commit 554f7696 ("USB: Remove BKL from poll()") when the BLK protection was turned into using the mutex instead. So fix this by using an atomic variable instead. And while we're at it, get rid of the atrocious naming of said variable and the waitqueue it is associated with. This also cleans up the unnecessary locking in the poll routine, since the whole point of how the pollwait table works is that you can just add yourself to the waiting list, and then check the condition you're waiting for afterwards - avoiding all races. It also gets rid of the unnecessary dynamic allocation of the device status that just contained a single word. We should use f_version for this, as Dmitry Torokhov points out. That simplifies everything further.

The cs5535-gpio driver's get() function was returning the output value. This means that the GPIO pins would never work as an input, even if configured as an input. The driver should return the READ_BACK value, which is the sensed line value. To make that work when the direction is 'output', INPUT_ENABLE needs to be set. In addition, the driver was not disabling OUTPUT_ENABLE when the direction is set to 'input'. That would cause the GPIO to continue to drive the pin if the direction was ever set to output. This issue was noticed when attempting to use the gpiolib driver to read an external input. I had previously been using the char/cs5535-gpio driver.

Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of pipes. This just got noticed in testing. The end of do_coredump validates the uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they shouldn' tbe able to. This causes failures when using pipes for a core dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe when it is created. The fix is simple. Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero Reverts a pipe-affecting change which was accidentally made in : commit c46f739d : Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> : AuthorDate: Wed Nov 28 13:59:18 2007 +0100 : Commit: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org> : CommitDate: Wed Nov 28 10:58:01 2007 -0800 : : vfs: coredumping fix Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

User visible change. do_coredump() kills all threads which share the same ->mm but only the coredumping process gets the proper exit_code. Other tasks which share the same ->mm die "silently" and return status == 0 to parent. This is historical behaviour, not actually a bug. But I think Frank Heckenbach rightly dislikes the current behaviour. Simple test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/wait.h> int main(void) { int stat; if (!fork()) { if (!vfork()) kill(getpid(), SIGQUIT); } wait(&stat); printf("stat=%x\n", stat); return 0; } Before this patch it prints "stat=0" despite the fact the child was killed by SIGQUIT. After this patch the output is "stat=3" which obviously makes more sense. Even with this patch, only the task which originates the coredumping gets "|= 0x80" if the core was actually dumped, but at least the coredumping signal is visible to do_wait/etc. Reported-by: Frank Heckenbach <f.heckenbach@fh-soft.de> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

To solve this issue, this patch copies mm->flags to coredump_params.mm_flags at the beginning of do_coredump() and uses it instead of get_dumpable() while dumping core. This copy is also passed to binfmt->core_dump, since elf*_core_dump() uses dump_filter bits in mm->flags.

The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if program headers exceed 65535. This number is determined by the number of vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate correct coredumps. This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent upto 4294967295 vmas. This is supported by AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/). Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

By the next patch, elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() will support extended numbering and so will produce the corefiles with section header table in a special case. The problem is the process of writing a file header offset of the section header table into e_shoff field of the ELF header. ELF header is positioned at the beginning of the corefile, while section header at the end. So, we need to take which of the following ways: 1. Seek backward to retry writing operation for ELF header after writing process for a whole part 2. Make offset calculation process and writing process totally sequential The clause 1. is not always possible: one cannot assume that file system supports seek function. Consider the no_llseek case. Therefore, this patch adopts the clause 2.

elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes #ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in order to reduce a range of modification. This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

My next patch will replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions, putting them into other newly created *.c files. Then, each files will contain dump_write(), where each pair of binfmt_*.c and elfcore.c should be the same. So, this patch moves them into a header file with dump_seek(). Also, the patch deletes confusing DUMP_WRITE macros in each files.

The current ELF dumper can produce broken corefiles if program headers exceed 65535. In particular, the program in 64-bit environment often demands more than 65535 mmaps. If you google max_map_count, then you can find many users facing this problem. Solaris has already dealt with this issue, and other OSes have also adopted the same method as in Solaris. Currently, Sun's document and AMD 64 ABI include the description for the extension, where they call the extension Extended Numbering. See Reference for further information. I believe that linux kernel should adopt the same way as they did, so I've written this patch. I am also preparing for patches of GDB and binutils. How to fix ========== In new dumping process, there are two cases according to weather or not the number of program headers is equal to or more than 65535. - if less than 65535, the produced corefile format is exactly the same as the ordinary one. - if equal to or more than 65535, then e_phnum field is set to newly introduced constant PN_XNUM(0xffff) and the actual number of program headers is set to sh_info field of the section header at index 0. Compatibility Concern ===================== * As already mentioned in Summary, Sun and AMD64 has already adopted this. See Reference. * There are four combinations according to whether kernel and userland tools are respectively modified or not. The next table summarizes shortly for each combination. --------------------------------------------- Original Kernel | Modified Kernel --------------------------------------------- < 65535 | >= 65535 | < 65535 | >= 65535 ------------------------------------------------------------- Original Tools | OK | broken | OK | broken (#) ------------------------------------------------------------- Modified Tools | OK | broken | OK | OK ------------------------------------------------------------- Note that there is no case that `OK' changes to `broken'. (#) Although this case remains broken, O-M behaves better than O-O. That is, while in O-O case e_phnum field would be extremely small due to integer overflow, in O-M case it is guaranteed to be at least 65535 by being set to PN_XNUM(0xFFFF), much closer to the actual correct value than the O-O case. Test Program ============ Here is a test program mkmmaps.c that is useful to produce the corefile with many mmaps. To use this, please take the following steps: $ ulimit -c unlimited $ sysctl vm.max_map_count=70000 # default 65530 is too small $ sysctl fs.file-max=70000 $ mkmmaps 65535 Then, the program will abort and a corefile will be generated. If failed, there are two cases according to the error message displayed. * ``out of memory'' means vm.max_map_count is still smaller * ``too many open files'' means fs.file-max is still smaller So, please change it to a larger value, and then retry it. mkmmaps.c == #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int maps_num; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "mkmmaps [number of maps to be created]\n"); exit(1); } if (sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &maps_num) == EOF) { perror("sscanf"); exit(2); } if (maps_num < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%d is invalid\n", maps_num); exit(3); } for (; maps_num > 0; --maps_num) { if (MAP_FAILED == mmap((void *)NULL, (size_t) 1, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, (int) -1, (off_t) NULL)) { perror("mmap"); exit(4); } } abort(); { char buffer[128]; sprintf(buffer, "wc -l /proc/%u/maps", getpid()); system(buffer); } return 0; } Tested on i386, ia64 and um/sys-i386. Built on sh4 (which covers fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c) References ========== - Sun microsystems: Linker and Libraries. Part No: 817-1984-17, September 2008. URL: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984 - System V ABI AMD64 Architecture Processor Supplement Draft Version 0.99., May 11, 2009. URL: http://www.x86-64.org/ This patch: There are three different definitions for dump_seek() functions in binfmt_aout.c, binfmt_elf.c and binfmt_elf_fdpic.c, respectively. The only for binfmt_elf.c. My next patch will move dump_seek() into a header file in order to share the same implementations for dump_write() and dump_seek(). As the first step, this patch unify these three definitions for dump_seek() by applying the past commits that have been applied only for binfmt_elf.c. Specifically, the modification made here is part of the following commits: * d025c9db * 7f14daa1 This patch does not change a shape of corefiles.
