2016-05-05sched/fair: Generalize the load/util averages resolution definitionYuyang Du
Integer metric needs fixed point arithmetic. In sched/fair, a few metrics, e.g., weight, load, load_avg, util_avg, freq, and capacity, may have different fixed point ranges, which makes their update and usage error-prone. In order to avoid the errors relating to the fixed point range, we definie a basic fixed point range, and then formalize all metrics to base on the basic range. The basic range is 1024 or (1 << 10). Further, one can recursively apply the basic range to have larger range. Pointed out by Ben Segall, weight (visible to user, e.g., NICE-0 has 1024) and load (e.g., NICE_0_LOAD) have independent ranges, but they must be well calibrated.

2016-05-04signals/sigaltstack: If SS_AUTODISARM, bypass on_sig_stack()Andy Lutomirski
If a signal stack is set up with SS_AUTODISARM, then the kernel inherently avoids incorrectly resetting the signal stack if signals recurse: the signal stack will be reset on the first signal delivery. This means that we don't need check the stack pointer when delivering signals if SS_AUTODISARM is set. This will make segmented x86 programs more robust: currently there's a hole that could be triggered if ESP/RSP appears to point to the signal stack but actually doesn't due to a nonzero SS base.

2016-05-03signals/sigaltstack: Implement SS_AUTODISARM flagStas Sergeev
This patch implements the SS_AUTODISARM flag that can be OR-ed with SS_ONSTACK when forming ss_flags. When this flag is set, sigaltstack will be disabled when entering the signal handler; more precisely, after saving sas to uc_stack. When leaving the signal handler, the sigaltstack is restored by uc_stack. When this flag is used, it is safe to switch from sighandler with swapcontext(). Without this flag, the subsequent signal will corrupt the state of the switched-away sighandler. To detect the support of this functionality, one can do: err = sigaltstack(SS_DISABLE | SS_AUTODISARM); if (err && errno == EINVAL) unsupported(); Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev <stsp@list.ru> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com> Cc: Amanieu d'Antras <amanieu@gmail.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

2016-04-23sched/fair: Correctly handle nohz ticks CPU load accountingFrederic Weisbecker
Ticks can happen while the CPU is in dynticks-idle or dynticks-singletask mode. In fact "nohz" or "dynticks" only mean that we exit the periodic mode and we try to minimize the ticks as much as possible. The nohz subsystem uses a confusing terminology with the internal state "ts->tick_stopped" which is also available through its public interface with tick_nohz_tick_stopped(). This is a misnomer as the tick is instead reduced with the best effort rather than stopped. In the best case the tick can indeed be actually stopped but there is no guarantee about that. If a timer needs to fire one second later, a tick will fire while the CPU is in nohz mode and this is a very common scenario. Now this confusion happens to be a problem with CPU load updates: cpu_load_update_active() doesn't handle nohz ticks correctly because it assumes that ticks are completely stopped in nohz mode and that cpu_load_update_active() can't be called in dynticks mode. When that happens, the whole previous tickless load is ignored and the function just records the load for the current tick, ignoring potentially long idle periods behind. In order to solve this, we could account the current load for the previous nohz time but there is a risk that we account the load of a task that got freshly enqueued for the whole nohz period. So instead, lets record the dynticks load on nohz frame entry so we know what to record in case of nohz ticks, then use this record to account the tickless load on nohz ticks and nohz frame end.

2016-04-23sched/fair: Gather CPU load functions under a more conventional namespaceFrederic Weisbecker
The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as "update" is a very generic concept. Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come) that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's do the following rename instead: update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*() Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@lge.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul E .

2016-04-13sched/clock: Make local_clock()/cpu_clock() inlineDaniel Lezcano
The local_clock/cpu_clock functions were changed to prevent a double identical test with sched_clock_cpu() when HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set. That resulted in one line functions. As these functions are in all the cases one line functions and in the hot path, it is useful to specify them as static inline in order to give a strong hint to the compiler. After verification, it appears the compiler does not inline them without this hint. Change those functions to static inline. sched_clock_cpu() is called via the inlined local_clock()/cpu_clock() functions from sched.h. So any module code including sched.h will reference sched_clock_cpu(). Thus it must be exported with the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro.

2016-04-04android,lowmemorykiller: Don't abuse TIF_MEMDIE.Tetsuo Handa
Currently, lowmemorykiller (LMK) is using TIF_MEMDIE for two purposes. One is to remember processes killed by LMK, and the other is to accelerate termination of processes killed by LMK. But since LMK is invoked as a memory shrinker function, there still should be some memory available. It is very likely that memory allocations by processes killed by LMK will succeed without using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS via TIF_MEMDIE. Even if their allocations cannot escape from memory allocation loop unless they use ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, lowmem_deathpending_timeout can guarantee forward progress by choosing next victim process. On the other hand, mark_oom_victim() assumes that it must be called with oom_lock held and it must not be called after oom_killer_disable() was called. But LMK is calling it without holding oom_lock and checking oom_killer_disabled. It is possible that LMK calls mark_oom_victim() due to allocation requests by kernel threads after current thread returned from oom_killer_disabled(). This will break synchronization for PM/suspend. This patch introduces per a task_struct flag for remembering processes killed by LMK, and replaces TIF_MEMDIE with that flag. By applying this patch, assumption by mark_oom_victim() becomes true.

2016-03-29timers/nohz: Convert tick dependency mask to atomic_tFrederic Weisbecker
The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it. But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use atomic_andnot() to clear the bit. This consolidates the type of our tick dependency mask, reduce its size on structures and benefit from possible architecture optimizations on atomic_t operations.

2016-03-25mm, oom_reaper: implement OOM victims queuingMichal Hocko
wake_oom_reaper has allowed only 1 oom victim to be queued. The main reason for that was the simplicity as other solutions would require some way of queuing. The current approach is racy and that was deemed sufficient as the oom_reaper is considered a best effort approach to help with oom handling when the OOM victim cannot terminate in a reasonable time. The race could lead to missing an oom victim which can get stuck out_of_memory wake_oom_reaper cmpxchg // OK oom_reaper oom_reap_task __oom_reap_task oom_victim terminates atomic_inc_not_zero // fail out_of_memory wake_oom_reaper cmpxchg // fails task_to_reap = NULL This race requires 2 OOM invocations in a short time period which is not very likely but certainly not impossible. E.g. the original victim might have not released a lot of memory for some reason. The situation would improve considerably if wake_oom_reaper used a more robust queuing. This is what this patch implements. This means adding oom_reaper_list list_head into task_struct (eat a hole before embeded thread_struct for that purpose) and a oom_reaper_lock spinlock for queuing synchronization. wake_oom_reaper will then add the task on the queue and oom_reaper will dequeue it.

2016-03-22kernel: add kcov code coverageDmitry Vyukov
kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. A notable user-space example is AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel support. kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs. To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking). Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've dropped the second mode for simplicity. This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296. We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller. Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire. Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage. With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible. kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible. Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

2016-03-17timer: convert timer_slack_ns from unsigned long to u64John Stultz
This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something Android currently does via out-of-tree patches). The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines. The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on both 32bit and 64bit machines. With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on bash to 10 seconds: $ time sleep 1 real 0m10.747s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me know if it makes sense to break that up more or not. Other than that things are fairly straightforward. This patch (of 2): The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500 years). This disparity could make application development a little (as well as the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems have the same effective internal slack range. Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on 32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long. This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack delta as a unsigned long.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are significant. First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing. Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code). In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run. In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver. Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material, including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates, and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading ACPI tables from initrd. Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of traditional assorted fixes and cleanups. Specifics: - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for that purpose (Rafael Wysocki). - Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar). - Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar). - Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Eric Biggers). - intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe Franciosi). - Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter). - Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri Bhat). - ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki). - ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box, Colin Ian King). - Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng). - Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin Chaugule). - Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla). - Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory, Aleksey Makarov). - Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat 255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan). - ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt). - Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES, intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul Gortmaker). - PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid). - New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for AMD SoCs (APD) and in the designware I2C driver (Xiangliang Yu). - Assorted ACPI cleanups (Colin Ian King, Kaiyen Chang, Oleg Drokin). - cpuidle menu governor optimization to avoid a square root computation in it (Rasmus Villemoes). - Fix for potential use-after-free in the generic device properties framework (Heikki Krogerus). - Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart, Geert Uytterhoeven). - Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in it (Jacob Pan). - System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh Sengar). - Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal). - turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls made, fixes related to Xeon x200 processors, compiler warning fixes) and cleanups (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk, Chen Yu)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.6-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (182 commits) tools/power turbostat: bugfix: TDP MSRs print bits fixing tools/power turbostat: correct output for MSR_NHM_SNB_PKG_CST_CFG_CTL dump tools/power turbostat: call __cpuid() instead of __get_cpuid() tools/power turbostat: indicate SMX and SGX support tools/power turbostat: detect and work around syscall jitter tools/power turbostat: show GFX%rc6 tools/power turbostat: show GFXMHz tools/power turbostat: show IRQs per CPU tools/power turbostat: make fewer systems calls tools/power turbostat: fix compiler warnings tools/power turbostat: add --out option for saving output in a file tools/power turbostat: re-name "%Busy" field to "Busy%" tools/power turbostat: Intel Xeon x200: fix turbo-ratio decoding tools/power turbostat: Intel Xeon x200: fix erroneous bclk value tools/power turbostat: allow sub-sec intervals ACPI / APEI: ERST: Fixed leaked resources in erst_init ACPI / APEI: Fix leaked resources intel_pstate: Do not skip samples partially intel_pstate: Remove freq calculation from intel_pstate_calc_busy() intel_pstate: Move intel_pstate_calc_busy() into get_target_pstate_use_performance() ...

2016-03-08sched/deadline: Remove dl_new from struct sched_dl_entityLuca Abeni
The dl_new field of struct sched_dl_entity is currently used to identify new deadline tasks, so that their deadline and runtime can be properly initialised. However, these tasks can be easily identified by checking if their deadline is smaller than the current time when they switch to SCHED_DEADLINE. So, dl_new can be removed by introducing this check in switched_to_dl(); this allows to simplify the SCHED_DEADLINE code.

2016-03-02sched: Migrate sched to use new tick dependency mask modelFrederic Weisbecker
Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify sched tick dependency, migrate sched to the new mask. Everytime a task is enqueued or dequeued, we evaluate the state of the tick dependency on top of the policy of the tasks in the runqueue, by order of priority: SCHED_DEADLINE: Need the tick in order to periodically check for runtime SCHED_FIFO : Don't need the tick (no round-robin) SCHED_RR : Need the tick if more than 1 task of the same priority for round robin (simplified with checking if more than one SCHED_RR task no matter what priority). SCHED_NORMAL : Need the tick if more than 1 task for round-robin. We could optimize that further with one flag per sched policy on the tick dependency mask and perform only the checks relevant to the policy concerned by an enqueue/dequeue operation. Since the checks aren't based on the current task anymore, we could get rid of the task switch hook but it's still needed for posix cpu timers.

2016-03-02nohz: New tick dependency maskFrederic Weisbecker
The tick dependency is evaluated on every IRQ and context switch. This consists is a batch of checks which determine whether it is safe to stop the tick or not. These checks are often split in many details: posix cpu timers, scheduler, sched clock, perf events.... each of which are made of smaller details: posix cpu timer involves checking process wide timers then thread wide timers. Perf involves checking freq events then more per cpu details. Checking these informations asynchronously every time we update the full dynticks state bring avoidable overhead and a messy layout. Let's introduce instead tick dependency masks: one for system wide dependency (unstable sched clock, freq based perf events), one for CPU wide dependency (sched, throttling perf events), and task/signal level dependencies (posix cpu timers). The subsystems are responsible for setting and clearing their dependency through a set of APIs that will take care of concurrent dependency mask modifications and kick targets to restart the relevant CPU tick whenever needed. This new dependency engine stays beside the old one until all subsystems having a tick dependency are converted to it.

2016-02-29sched/debug: Fix preempt_disable_ip recording for preempt_disable()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
The preempt_disable() invokes preempt_count_add() which saves the caller in ->preempt_disable_ip. It uses CALLER_ADDR1 which does not look for its caller but for the parent of the caller. Which means we get the correct caller for something like spin_lock() unless the architectures inlines those invocations. It is always wrong for preempt_disable() or local_bh_disable(). This patch makes the function get_lock_parent_ip() which tries CALLER_ADDR0,1,2 if the former is a locking function. This seems to record the preempt_disable() caller properly for preempt_disable() itself as well as for get_cpu_var() or local_bh_disable(). Steven asked for the get_parent_ip() -> get_lock_parent_ip() rename.

So normally we dequeue/enqueue tasks in sched_setscheduler(), which would ensure the accounting stays correct. However in the early PI path we fail to do so. So this was introduced at around v3.14, by: c365c292d059 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()") which fixed another problem exactly because that dequeue/enqueue, joy. Fix this by teaching rt about DEQUEUE_SAVE/ENQUEUE_RESTORE and have it preserve runqueue location with that option. This requires decoupling the on_rt_rq() state from being on the list. In order to allow for explicit movement during the SAVE/RESTORE, introduce {DE,EN}QUEUE_MOVE. We still must use SAVE/RESTORE in these cases to preserve other invariants. Respecting the SAVE/RESTORE flags also has the (nice) side-effect that things like sys_nice()/sys_sched_setaffinity() also do not reorder FIFO tasks (whereas they used to before this patch).

2016-02-09sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by defaultMel Gorman
schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful. This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable it when necessary. The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is. If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the scheduler. These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors. netperf-tcp 4.5.0-rc1 4.5.0-rc1 vanilla nostats-v3r1 Hmean 64 560.45 ( 0.00%) 575.98 ( 2.77%) Hmean 128 766.66 ( 0.00%) 795.79 ( 3.80%) Hmean 256 950.51 ( 0.00%) 981.50 ( 3.26%) Hmean 1024 1433.25 ( 0.00%) 1466.51 ( 2.32%) Hmean 2048 2810.54 ( 0.00%) 2879.75 ( 2.46%) Hmean 3312 4618.18 ( 0.00%) 4682.09 ( 1.38%) Hmean 4096 5306.42 ( 0.00%) 5346.39 ( 0.75%) Hmean 8192 10581.44 ( 0.00%) 10698.15 ( 1.10%) Hmean 16384 18857.70 ( 0.00%) 18937.61 ( 0.42%) Small gains here, UDP_STREAM showed nothing intresting and neither did the TCP_RR tests.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl. It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint may be wanted but is unavailable.

2016-01-20UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checkerAndrey Ryabinin
UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior (UB). Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before operations that could cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected) __ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message. So the most of the work is done by compiler. This patch just implements ubsan handlers printing errors. GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined option and its suboptions). However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2]. Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

2016-01-19pipe: limit the per-user amount of pages allocated in pipesWilly Tarreau
On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to prevent this from happening. This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing pipes to work correctly though with less data at once. The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024) to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB = 1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use of pipes (eg: for splicing).

2016-01-11unix: properly account for FDs passed over unix socketswilly tarreau
It is possible for a process to allocate and accumulate far more FDs than the process' limit by sending them over a unix socket then closing them to keep the process' fd count low. This change addresses this problem by keeping track of the number of FDs in flight per user and preventing non-privileged processes from having more FDs in flight than their configured FD limit.

2016-01-06sched/core: Check tgid in is_global_init()Sergey Senozhatsky
Our global init task can have sub-threads, so ->pid check is not reliable enough for is_global_init(), we need to check tgid instead. This has been spotted by Oleg and a fix was proposed by Richard a long time ago (see the link below). Oleg wrote: : Because is_global_init() is only true for the main thread of /sbin/init. : : Just look at oom_unkillable_task(). It tries to not kill init. But, say, : select_bad_process() can happily find a sub-thread of is_global_init() : and still kill it. I recently hit the problem in question; re-sending the patch (to the best of my knowledge it has never been submitted) with updated function comment. Credit goes to Oleg and Richard.

2015-12-08watchdog: introduce touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched()Tejun Heo
touch_softlockup_watchdog() is used to tell watchdog that scheduler stall is expected. One group of usage is from paths where the task may not be able to yield for a long time such as performing slow PIO to finicky device and coming out of suspend. The other is to account for scheduler and timer going idle. For scheduler softlockup detection, there's no reason to distinguish the two cases; however, workqueue lockup detector is planned and it can use the same signals from the former group while the latter would spuriously prevent detection. This patch introduces a new function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched() and convert the latter group to call it instead. For now, it just calls touch_softlockup_watchdog() and there's no functional difference.
