2011-12-26KVM: Don't automatically expose the TSC deadline timer in cpuidJan Kiszka1-0/+9
Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants. This is broken in several ways: - if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break - live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet; breaking it - guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail. Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace. Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID. Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.

2011-12-25KVM: Device assignment permission checksAlex Williamson1-0/+4
Only allow KVM device assignment to attach to devices which: - Are not bridges - Have BAR resources (assume others are special devices) - The user has permissions to use Assigning a bridge is a configuration error, it's not supported, and typically doesn't result in the behavior the user is expecting anyway. Devices without BAR resources are typically chipset components that also don't have host drivers. We don't want users to hold such devices captive or cause system problems by fencing them off into an iommu domain. We determine "permission to use" by testing whether the user has access to the PCI sysfs resource files. By default a normal user will not have access to these files, so it provides a good indication that an administration agent has granted the user access to the device.

2011-12-22Partial revert "Basic kernel memory functionality for the Memory Controller"Glauber Costa1-20/+2
This reverts commit e5671dfae59b165e2adfd4dfbdeab11ac8db5bda. After a follow up discussion with Michal, it was agreed it would be better to leave the kmem controller with just the tcp files, deferring the behavior of the other general memory.kmem.* files for a later time, when more caches are controlled. This is because generic kmem files are not used by tcp accounting and it is not clear how other slab caches would fit into the scheme. We are reverting the original commit so we can track the reference. Part of the patch is kept, because it was used by the later tcp code. Conflicts are shown in the bottom. init/Kconfig is removed from the revert entirely. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> CC: Kirill A.

2011-12-12tcp buffer limitation: per-cgroup limitGlauber Costa1-0/+1
This patch uses the "tcp.limit_in_bytes" field of the kmem_cgroup to effectively control the amount of kernel memory pinned by a cgroup. This value is ignored in the root cgroup, and in all others, caps the value specified by the admin in the net namespaces' view of tcp_sysctl_mem. If namespaces are being used, the admin is allowed to set a value bigger than cgroup's maximum, the same way it is allowed to set pretty much unlimited values in a real box.

2011-12-12socket: initial cgroup code.Glauber Costa1-1/+3
The goal of this work is to move the memory pressure tcp controls to a cgroup, instead of just relying on global conditions. To avoid excessive overhead in the network fast paths, the code that accounts allocated memory to a cgroup is hidden inside a static_branch(). This branch is patched out until the first non-root cgroup is created. So when nobody is using cgroups, even if it is mounted, no significant performance penalty should be seen. This patch handles the generic part of the code, and has nothing tcp-specific.

Tyler Hicks pointed me at an additional article on RCU and I figured it should probably be mentioned with the others. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-12-11doc: Add load/store guarantees to Documentation/atomic-ops.txtPaul E. McKenney1-0/+87
An IRC discussion uncovered many conflicting opinions on what types of data may be atomically loaded and stored. This commit therefore calls this out the official set: pointers, longs, ints, and chars (but not shorts). This commit also gives some examples of compiler mischief that can thwart atomicity. Please note that this discussion is relevant to !SMP kernels if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y: preemption can cause almost as much trouble as can SMP. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-12-11rcu: Add rcutorture CPU-hotplug capabilityPaul E. McKenney1-0/+8
Running CPU-hotplug operations concurrently with rcutorture has historically been a good way to find bugs in both RCU and CPU hotplug. This commit therefore adds an rcutorture module parameter called "onoff_interval" that causes a randomly selected CPU-hotplug operation to be executed at the specified interval, in seconds. The default value of "onoff_interval" is zero, which disables rcutorture-instigated CPU-hotplug operations. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-12-11rcu: Add rcutorture system-shutdown capabilityPaul E. McKenney1-0/+5
Although it is easy to run rcutorture tests under KVM, there is currently no nice way to run such a test for a fixed time period, collect all of the rcutorture data, and then shut the system down cleanly. This commit therefore adds an rcutorture module parameter named "shutdown_secs" that specified the run duration in seconds, after which rcutorture terminates the test and powers the system down. The default value for "shutdown_secs" is zero, which disables shutdown. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
