GETZCNT is supposed to return the number of threads that wait until a
semaphore value becomes 0.
The current implementation overlooks complex operations that contain
both wait-for-zero operation and operations that alter at least one
semaphore.
The patch fixes that. It's intentionally copy&paste, this will be
cleaned up in the next patch.

System V shared memory
a) can be abused to trigger out-of-memory conditions and the standard
measures against out-of-memory do not work:
- it is not possible to use setrlimit to limit the size of shm segments.
- segments can exist without association with any processes, thus
the oom-killer is unable to free that memory.
b) is typically used for shared information - today often multiple GB.
(e.g. database shared buffers)
The current default is a maximum segment size of 32 MB and a maximum
total size of 8 GB. This is often too much for a) and not enough for
b), which means that lots of users must change the defaults.
This patch increases the default limits (nearly) to the maximum, which
is perfect for case b). The defaults are used after boot and as the
initial value for each new namespace.
Admins/distros that need a protection against a) should reduce the
limits and/or enable shm_rmid_forced.
Unix has historically required setting these limits for shared memory,
and Linux inherited such behavior. The consequence of this is added
complexity for users and administrators. One very common example are
Database setup/installation documents and scripts, where users must
manually calculate the values for these limits. This also requires
(some) knowledge of how the underlying memory management works, thus
causing, in many occasions, the limits to just be flat out wrong.
Disabling these limits sooner could have saved companies a lot of time,
headaches and money for support. But it's never too late, simplify
users life now.
Further notes:
- The patch only changes default, overrides behave as before:
# sysctl kernel.shmall=33554432
would recreate the previous limit for SHMMAX (for the current namespace).
- Disabling sysv shm allocation is possible with:
# sysctl kernel.shmall=0
(not a new feature, also per-namespace)
- The limits are intentionally set to a value slightly less than ULONG_MAX,
to avoid triggering overflows in user space apps.

The increase of SHMMAX/SHMALL is a 4 patch series.
The change itself is trivial, the only problem are interger overflows.
The overflows are not new, but if we make huge values the default, then
the code should be free from overflows.
SHMMAX:
- shmmem_file_setup places a hard limit on the segment size:
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE.
On 32-bit, the limit is > 1 TB, i.e. 4 GB-1 byte segments are
possible. Rounded up to full pages the actual allocated size
is 0. --> must be fixed, patch 3
- shmat:
- find_vma_intersection does not handle overflows properly.
--> must be fixed, patch 1
- the rest is fine, do_mmap_pgoff limits mappings to TASK_SIZE
and checks for overflows (i.e.: map 2 GB, starting from
addr=2.5GB fails).
SHMALL:
- after creating 8192 segments size (1L<<63)-1, shm_tot overflows and
returns 0. --> must be fixed, patch 2.
Userspace:
- Obviously, there could be overflows in userspace. There is nothing
we can do, only use values smaller than ULONG_MAX.
I ended with "ULONG_MAX - 1L<<24":
- TASK_SIZE cannot be used because it is the size of the current
task. Could be 4G if it's a 32-bit task on a 64-bit kernel.
- The maximum size is not standardized across archs:
I found TASK_MAX_SIZE, TASK_SIZE_MAX and TASK_SIZE_64.
- Just in case some arch revives a 4G/4G split, nearly
ULONG_MAX is a valid segment size.
- Using "0" as a magic value for infinity is even worse, because
right now 0 means 0, i.e. fail all allocations.
This patch (of 4):
find_vma_intersection() does not work as intended if addr+size overflows.
The patch adds a manual check before the call to find_vma_intersection.

If it is defined as this (as is already done if __KERNEL__ is not defined):

When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position,
begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of
the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the
first:
open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1
write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096
write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9
close(1) = 0
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
/bin/true
Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at
maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the
contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would
not append to the sysctl.
The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits
of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or
dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a
trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also
happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write
syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools.
This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior
act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file
position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done
when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is
to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy
behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to
1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

Additionally, instead of reading user memory twice, just do the
assignment during the loop.
This change doesn't affect the potential races here. It was already
possible to read a sysctl that was in the middle of a write. In both
cases, the string will always be NULL terminated. The pre-existing race
remains a problem to be solved.

When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position,
began writing the string from the start. This meant the contents of the
last write to the sysctl controlled the string contents instead of the
first.
This misbehavior was featured in an exploit against Chrome OS. While
it's not in itself a vulnerability, it's a weirdness that isn't on the
mind of most auditors: "This filter looks correct, the first line
written would not be meaningful to sysctl" doesn't apply here, since the
size of the write and the contents of the final write are what matter
when writing to sysctls.
This adds the sysctl kernel.sysctl_writes_strict to control the write
behavior. The default (0) reports when VFS position is non-0 on a
write, but retains legacy behavior, -1 disables the warning, and 1
enables the position-respecting behavior.
The long-term plan here is to wait for userspace to be fixed in response
to the new warning and to then switch the default kernel behavior to the
new position-respecting behavior.

If the ida has at least one existing id, and when an unallocated ID
which meets a certain condition is passed to the ida_remove(), the
system will crash because it hits NULL pointer dereference.
The condition is that the unallocated ID shares the same lowest idr
layer with the existing ID, but the idr slot would be different if the
unallocated ID were to be allocated.
In this case the matching idr slot for the unallocated_id is NULL,
causing @bitmap to be NULL which the function dereferences without
checking crashing the kernel.
See the test code:
static void test3(void)
{
int id;
DEFINE_IDA(test_ida);
printk(KERN_INFO "Start test3\n");
if (ida_pre_get(&test_ida, GFP_KERNEL) < 0) return;
if (ida_get_new(&test_ida, &id) < 0) return;
ida_remove(&test_ida, 4000); /* bug: null deference here */
printk(KERN_INFO "End of test3\n");
}
It happens only when the caller tries to free an unallocated ID which is
the caller's fault. It is not a bug. But it is better to add the
proper check and complain rather than crashing the kernel.

id = idr_alloc(&test_idr, (void *)1, 42, 43, GFP_KERNEL);

idr_replace() open-codes the logic to calculate the maximum valid ID
given the height of the idr tree; unfortunately, the open-coded logic
doesn't account for the fact that the top layer may have unused slots
and over-shifts the limit to zero when the tree is at its maximum
height.
The following test code shows it fails to replace the value for
id=((1<<27)+42):
static void test5(void)
{
int id;
DEFINE_IDR(test_idr);
#define TEST5_START ((1<<27)+42) /* use the highest layer */

Fix the bug by using idr_max() which correctly takes into account the
maximum allowed shift.
sub_alloc() shares the same problem and may incorrectly fail with
-EAGAIN; however, this bug doesn't affect correct operation because
idr_get_empty_slot(), which already uses idr_max(), retries with the

running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg. This can help rare situations
where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure
(memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already
broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee
that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?).
Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option.
Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump. This
option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump
failure rather than increasing the chance of success.

There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs
to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler
code prints out a warning whenever this is detected. Every once in a
while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far
it has not been completely fixed. Usually the solution involves finding
out the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization
with CPU hotplug.
However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that
there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more
specifically, in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when
the sender code is perfectly fine. This patchset fixes that
synchronization problem in the CPU hotplug stop-machine code.
Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function
framework, to help debug such issues easily.
Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were
sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by
that CPU without fail before it goes offline. Thus, this avoids
scenarios where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender
uses proper hotplug synchronization).
In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the
payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq()
function. But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block
layer code. That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and
realized that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the
culprit, not the sender. Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should
put an end to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues.
This patch (of 2):
Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI
on an offline CPU. This info is sufficient to let us know that
something went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who
sent the IPI and why, from this info alone.
In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU,
immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine
phase and reenables interrupts. Since all online CPUs participate in
stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already
lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop. So even if we dump the
stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all
of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread. So we need a
better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why.
To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop
through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload
(i.e., the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the
target CPU). This would give us an insight as to who might have sent
the IPI and help us debug this further.

Now that allow_signal() is really trivial we can unify it with
disallow_signal(). Add the new helper, kernel_sigaction(), and
reimplement allow_signal/disallow_signal as a trivial wrappers.
This saves one EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the new helper can have more users.

disallow_signal() simply sets SIG_IGN, this is not enough and
recalc_sigpending() is simply pointless because in can never change the
state of TIF_SIGPENDING.
If we ignore a signal, we also need to do flush_sigqueue_mask() for the
case when this signal is pending, this way recalc_sigpending() can
actually clear TIF_SIGPENDING and we do not "leak" the allocated
siginfo's.

allow_signal() does sigdelset(current->blocked) due to historic reason,
previously it could be called by a daemonize()'ed kthread, and
daemonize() played with current->blocked.
Now that daemonize() has gone away we can remove sigdelset() and
recalc_sigpending(). If a user really wants to unblock a signal, it
must use sigprocmask() or set_current_block() explicitely.

jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does disallow_signal(SIGHUP) around
jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() and the comment says "We don't want SIGHUP
to interrupt us".
But disallow_signal() can't ensure that jffs2_garbage_collect_pass()
won't be interrupted by SIGHUP, the problem is that SIGHUP can be
already pending when disallow_signal() is called, and in this case any
interruptible sleep won't block.
Note: this is in fact because disallow_signal() is buggy and should be
fixed, see the next changes.
But there is another reason why disallow_signal() is wrong: SIG_IGN set
by disallow_signal() silently discards any SIGHUP which can be sent
before the next allow_signal(SIGHUP).
Change this code to use sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK/SIG_BLOCK, SIGHUP).
This even matches the old (and wrong) semantics allow/disallow had when
this logic was written.

Move the declaration/definition of allow_signal/disallow_signal to
signal.h/signal.c. The new place is more logical and allows to use the
static helpers in signal.c (see the next changes).
While at it, make them return void and remove the valid_signal() check.
Nobody checks the returned value, and in-kernel users must not pass the
wrong signal number.

The usage of "task_struct *t" and "current" in do_sigaction() looks really
annoying and chaotic. Initially "t" is used as a cached value of current
but not consistently, then it is reused as a loop variable and we have to
use "current" again.
Clean up this mess and also convert the code to use for_each_thread().
