This reports the names of consoles as they're being disabled to help

"which boot console actually got activated?" once the regular console is

cpu_up() has #ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG code blocks, which call
mem_online_node() to put its node online if offlined and then call
build_all_zonelists() to initialize the zone list.
These steps are specific to memory hotplug, and should be managed in
mm/memory_hotplug.c. lock_memory_hotplug() should also be held for the
whole steps.
For this reason, this patch replaces mem_online_node() with
try_online_node(), which performs the whole steps with
lock_memory_hotplug() held. try_online_node() is named after
try_offline_node() as they have similar purpose.
There is no functional change in this patch.

Any user process callers of wait_for_completion() except global init
process might be chosen by the OOM killer while waiting for completion()
call by some other process which does memory allocation. See
CVE-2012-4398 "kernel: request_module() OOM local DoS" can happen.
When such users are chosen by the OOM killer when they are waiting for
completion() in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, the system will be kept stressed
due to memory starvation because the OOM killer cannot kill such users.
kthread_create() is one of such users and this patch fixes the problem
for kthreadd by making kthread_create() killable - the same approach
used for fixing CVE-2012-4398.

"As a first remark I'd like to note that the way to build perf tooling
has been simplified and sped up, in the future it should be enough for
you to build perf via:
cd tools/perf/
make install
(ie without the -j option.) The build system will figure out the
number of CPUs and will do a parallel build+install.
The various build system inefficiencies and breakages Linus reported
against the v3.12 pull request should now be resolved - please
(re-)report any remaining annoyances or bugs.

There is a race between stop_two_cpus, and the global stop_cpus.
It is possible for two CPUs to get their stopper functions queued
"backwards" from one another, resulting in the stopper threads
getting stuck, and the system hanging. This can happen because
queuing up stoppers is not synchronized.
This patch adds synchronization between stop_cpus (a rare operation),
and stop_two_cpus.

1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are
confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read
the 2nd page first.
2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines.
3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it
doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size.
In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to
the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn.
Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file
can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we
do this only to catch the obvious mistakes.
Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify
and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations.
Note: we do not care if we read extra bytes after inode->i_size
if we got the valid page. This is fine because the task gets the
same page after page-fault, and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can't
know how many bytes were actually read anyway.

Commit aa59c53fd4 "uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup
xol_area" has a stupid typo, we need to setup t->utask->vaddr but
the code wrongly uses current->utask.
Even with this bug dup_xol_work() works "in practice", but only
because get_unmapped_area(NULL, TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) likely
returns the same address every time.

from a normal user account via the perf syscall "perf_event_open()".
When I was able to reproduce it with trinity, I was able to track down
exactly how it happened.
I discovered that the check for whether the function tracepoint should
be activated or not was using the "perf_paranoid_kernel()" check which
by default, lets the user continue. The user should not by default be
able to enable function tracing. The fix is to use
"perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" which will not let the user enable
function tracing.
This is a security fix as normal users should never be allowed to
enable the function tracer.

"Dave Jones's trinity program was able to enable the function tracer
from a normal user account via the perf syscall "perf_event_open()".
When I was able to reproduce it with trinity, I was able to track down
exactly how it happened.
I discovered that the check for whether the function tracepoint should
be activated or not was using the "perf_paranoid_kernel()" check which
by default, lets the user continue. The user should not by default be
able to enable function tracing.
The fix is to use "perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" which will not let
the user enable function tracing. This is a security fix as normal
users should never be allowed to enable the function tracer"

Here's the big tty/serial driver update for 3.13-rc1.
There's some more minor n_tty work here, but nothing like previous
kernel releases. Also some new driver ids, driver updates for new

The current default perf paranoid level is "1" which has
"perf_paranoid_kernel()" return false, and giving any operations that
use it, access to normal users. Unfortunately, this includes function
tracing and normal users should not be allowed to enable function
tracing by default.
The proper level is defined at "-1" (full perf access), which
"perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" will only give access to. Use that
check instead for enabling function tracing.

because write_opcode() is static.

Currently xol_get_insn_slot() assumes that we should simply copy
arch_uprobe->insn[] which is (ignoring arch_uprobe_analyze_insn)
just the copy of the original insn.
This is not true for arm which needs to create another insn to
execute it out-of-line.
So this patch simply adds the new member, ->ixol into the union.
This doesn't make any difference for x86 and powerpc, but arm
can divorce insn/ixol and initialize the correct xol insn in
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn().

nr_busy_cpus parameter is used by nohz_kick_needed() to find out the
number of busy cpus in a sched domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
flag set. Therefore instead of updating nr_busy_cpus at every level
of sched domain, since it is irrelevant, we can update this parameter
only at the parent domain of the sd which has this flag set. Introduce
a per-cpu parameter sd_busy which represents this parent domain.
In nohz_kick_needed() we directly query the nr_busy_cpus parameter
associated with the groups of sd_busy.
By associating sd_busy with the highest domain which has
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set, we cover all lower level domains
which could have this flag set and trigger nohz_idle_balancing if any
of the levels have more than one busy cpu.
sd_busy is irrelevant for asymmetric load balancing. However sd_asym
has been introduced to represent the highest sched domain which has
SD_ASYM_PACKING flag set so that it can be queried directly when
required.
While we are at it, we might as well change the nohz_idle parameter to
be updated at the sd_busy domain level alone and not the base domain
level of a CPU. This will unify the concept of busy cpus at just one
level of sched domain where it is currently used.

Asymmetric scheduling within a core is a scheduler loadbalancing
feature that is triggered when SD_ASYM_PACKING flag is set. The goal
for the load balancer is to move tasks to lower order idle SMT threads
within a core on a POWER7 system.
In nohz_kick_needed(), we intend to check if our sched domain (core)
is completely busy or we have idle cpu.
The following check for SD_ASYM_PACKING:
(cpumask_first_and(nohz.idle_cpus_mask, sched_domain_span(sd)) < cpu)
already covers the case of checking if the domain has an idle cpu,
because cpumask_first_and() will not yield any set bits if this domain
has no idle cpu.
Hence, nr_busy check against group weight can be removed.

Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes
copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not

Add unlikely() annotations to 'slow' paths:
When having a sampling event but no output buffer; you have bigger
issues -- also the bail is still faster than actually doing the work.
When having a sampling event but a control page only buffer, you have
bigger issues -- again the bail is still faster than actually doing
work.
Optimize for the case where you're not loosing events -- again, not
doing the work is still faster but make sure that when you have to
actually do work its as fast as possible.
The typical watermark is 1/2 the buffer size, so most events will not
take this path.

uprobe_copy_process() does nothing if the child shares ->mm with
the forking process, but there is a special case: CLONE_VFORK.
In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid
dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind
its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at
least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself.
Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp
instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the
child can return from the function called by the parent. But this
needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually
does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).

This finally fixes the serious bug in uretprobes: a forked child
crashes if the parent called fork() with the pending ret probe.
Trivial test-case:
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 __fork%return
# perf record -e probe_libc:__fork perl -le 'fork || print "OK"'
(the child doesn't print "OK", it is killed by SIGSEGV)
If the child returns from the probed function it actually returns
to trampoline_vaddr, because it got the copy of parent's stack
mangled by prepare_uretprobe() when the parent entered this func.
It crashes because a) this address is not mapped and b) until the
previous change it doesn't have the proper->return_instances info.
This means that uprobe_copy_process() has to create xol_area which
has the trampoline slot, and its vaddr should be equal to parent's
xol_area->vaddr.
Unfortunately, uprobe_copy_process() can not simply do
__create_xol_area(child, xol_area->vaddr). This could actually work
but perf_event_mmap() doesn't expect the usage of foreign ->mm. So
we offload this to task_work_run(), and pass the argument via not
yet used utask->vaddr.
We know that this vaddr is fine for install_special_mapping(), the
necessary hole was recently "created" by dup_mmap() which skips the
parent's VM_DONTCOPY area, and nobody else could use the new mm.
Unfortunately, this also means that we can not handle the errors
properly, we obviously can not abort the already completed fork().
So we simply print the warning if GFP_KERNEL allocation (the only
possible reason) fails.

uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need
->utask, it should be allocated by demand.
But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret-
probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs
the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the
child crashes when it returns from the probed function.
Alternatively we could cleanup the child's stack, but this needs
per-arch changes and this is not what we want. At least systemtap
expects a .return in the child too.
Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next
change.

Currently xol_add_vma() uses get_unmapped_area() for area->vaddr,
but the next patches need to use the fixed address. So this patch
adds the new "vaddr" argument to __create_xol_area() which should
be used as area->vaddr if it is nonzero.
xol_add_vma() doesn't bother to verify that the predefined addr is
not used, insert_vm_struct() should fail if find_vma_links() detects
the overlap with the existing vma.
Also, __create_xol_area() doesn't need __GFP_ZERO to allocate area.

Preparation for the next patches.
Move the callsite of uprobe_copy_process() in copy_process() down
to the succesfull return. We do not care if copy_process() fails,
uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong
->utask != NULL doesn't matter.
OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when
uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return
to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can:
1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary
2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area
3. use task_work_add(p)
Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it
can see get_utask().
