* perf_counters: make software counters work as per-cpu countersPaul Mackerras2009-02-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: kernel crash fix Yanmin Zhang reported that using a PERF_COUNT_TASK_CLOCK software counter as a per-cpu counter would reliably crash the system, because it calls __task_delta_exec with a null pointer. The page fault, context switch and cpu migration counters also won't function correctly as per-cpu counters since they reference the current task. This fixes the problem by redirecting the task_clock counter to the cpu_clock counter when used as a per-cpu counter, and by implementing per-cpu page fault, context switch and cpu migration counters. Along the way, this: - Initializes counter->ctx earlier, in perf_counter_alloc, so that sw_perf_counter_init can use it - Adds code to kernel/sched.c to count task migrations into each cpu, in rq->nr_migrations_in - Exports the per-cpu context switch and task migration counts via new functions added to kernel/sched.c - Makes sure that if sw_perf_counter_init fails, we don't try to initialize the counter as a hardware counter. Since the user has passed a negative, non-raw event type, they clearly don't intend for it to be interpreted as a hardware event.

* perfcounters: ratelimit performance counter interruptsMike Galbraith2009-01-231-2/+0

* perfcounters: throttle on too high IRQ ratesMike Galbraith2009-01-231-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Starting kerneltop with only -c 100 seems to be a bad idea, it can easily lock the system due to perfcounter IRQ overload. So add throttling: if a new IRQ arrives in a shorter than PERFMON_MIN_PERIOD_NS time, turn off perfcounters and untrottle them from the next timer tick.

| * | | | | | stackprotector: use canary at end of stack to indicate overruns at oops timeEric Sandeen2008-05-262-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Updated with a common max-stack-used checker that knows about the canary, as suggested by Joe Perches) Use a canary at the end of the stack to clearly indicate at oops time whether the stack has ever overflowed. This is a very simple implementation with a couple of drawbacks: 1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last word on the stack -- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim 2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough that the canary location could get skipped over -- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun -- though this happens fairly often in my testing :( With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might do: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680 IP: [<ffffffff810253df>] update_curr+0x9a/0xa8 PGD 8063 PUD 0 Thread overran stack or stack corrupted Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 0 ... ... unless the stack overrun is so bad that it corrupts some other thread.

That does not work well with the canary-switching code there: while we already use the %rsp of the new task, we still call __switch_to() whith the previous task's canary value in the PDA, hence the __switch_to() ssp prologue instructions will store the previous canary. Then we update the PDA and upon return from __switch_to() the canary check triggers and we panic. so update the canary after we have called __switch_to(), where we are at the same stackframe level as the last stackframe of the next (and now freshly current) task. Note: this means that we call __switch_to() [and its sub-functions] still with the old canary, but that is not a problem, both the previous and the next task has a high-quality canary. The only (mostly academic) disadvantage is that the canary of one task may leak onto the stack of another task, increasing the risk of information leaks, were an attacker able to read the stack of specific tasks (but not that of others). To solve this we'll have to reorganize the way we switch tasks, and move the PDA setting into the switch_to() assembly code. That will happen in another patch.

It was still a valid assertion for the vmscan.c LRU isolation case, but it doesn't seem incredibly helpful... if somebody wants it, they can put it back directly where it applies in the vmscan code.

This is the second half of the changes to make the irq_desc_ptrs be variable sized based on nr_cpu_ids. This is done by adding a new "max_nr_irqs" macro to irq_vectors.h (and a dummy in irqnr.h) to return a max NR_IRQS value based on NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids. This necessitated moving the define of MAX_IO_APICS to a separate file (asm/apicnum.h) so it could be included without the baggage of the other asm/apicdef.h declarations.

As Yinghai pointed out, init_copy_one_irq_desc() copies the old desc to the new desc overwriting the cpumask pointers. Since the old_desc and the cpumask pointers are freed, then memory corruption will occur if these old pointers are used. Move the allocation of these pointers to after the copy.
