printk: rename printk_sched to printk_deferred

2014-08-07T21:52:37+00:00

commit aac74dc495456412c4130a1167ce4beb6c1f0b38 upstream.

After learning we'll need some sort of deferred printk functionality in
the timekeeping core, Peter suggested we rename the printk_sched function
so it can be reused by needed subsystems.

This only changes the function name. No logic changes.

sched: Fix sched_policy < 0 comparison

2014-06-11T18:54:11+00:00

commit b14ed2c273f8ab872ae4e6735fe5ab09cb14b8c3 upstream.

attr.sched_policy is u32, therefore a comparison against < 0 is never true.
Fix this by casting sched_policy to int.

This issue was reported by coverity CID 1219934.

sched: Fix hotplug vs. set_cpus_allowed_ptr()

2014-06-11T18:54:11+00:00

commit 6acbfb96976fc3350e30d964acb1dbbdf876d55e upstream.

Lai found that:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 13 at arch/x86/kernel/smp.c:124 native_smp_send_reschedule+0x2d/0x4b()
  ...
  migration_cpu_stop+0x1d/0x22

was caused by set_cpus_allowed_ptr() assuming that cpu_active_mask is
always a sub-set of cpu_online_mask.

This isn't true since 5fbd036b552f ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness").

So set active and online at the same time to avoid this particular
problem.

sched/deadline: Restrict user params max value to 2^63 ns

2014-06-11T18:54:10+00:00

commit b0827819b0da4acfbc1df1e05edcf50efd07cbd1 upstream.

Michael Kerrisk noticed that creating SCHED_DEADLINE reservations
with certain parameters (e.g, a runtime of something near 2^64 ns)
can cause a system freeze for some amount of time.

The problem is that in the interface we have

 u64 sched_runtime;

while internally we need to have a signed runtime (to cope with
budget overruns)

 s64 runtime;

At the time we setup a new dl_entity we copy the first value in
the second. The cast turns out with negative values when
sched_runtime is too big, and this causes the scheduler to go crazy
right from the start.

Moreover, considering how we deal with deadlines wraparound

 (s64)(a - b) < 0

we also have to restrict acceptable values for sched_{deadline,period}.

This patch fixes the thing checking that user parameters are always
below 2^63 ns (still large enough for everyone).

It also rewrites other conditions that we check, since in
__checkparam_dl we don't have to deal with deadline wraparounds
and what we have now erroneously fails when the difference between
values is too big.

sched/deadline: Change sched_getparam() behaviour vs SCHED_DEADLINE

2014-06-11T18:54:10+00:00

commit ce5f7f8200ca2504f6f290044393d73ca314965a upstream.

The way we read POSIX one should only call sched_getparam() when
sched_getscheduler() returns either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR.

Given that we currently return sched_param::sched_priority=0 for all
others, extend the same behaviour to SCHED_DEADLINE.

sched: Make sched_setattr() correctly return -EFBIG

2014-06-11T18:54:10+00:00

commit 143cf23df25b7082cd706c3c53188e741e7881c3 upstream.

The documented[1] behavior of sched_attr() in the proposed man page text is:

    sched_attr::size must be set to the size of the structure, as in
    sizeof(struct sched_attr), if the provided structure is smaller
    than the kernel structure, any additional fields are assumed
    '0'. If the provided structure is larger than the kernel structure,
    the kernel verifies all additional fields are '0' if not the
    syscall will fail with -E2BIG.

As currently implemented, sched_copy_attr() returns -EFBIG for
for this case, but the logic in sys_sched_setattr() converts that
error to -EFAULT. This patch fixes the behavior.

sched: Disallow sched_attr::sched_policy < 0

2014-06-11T18:54:10+00:00

commit dbdb22754fde671dc93d2fae06f8be113d47f2fb upstream.

The scheduler uses policy=-1 to preserve the current policy state to
implement sys_sched_setparam(), this got exposed to userspace by
accident through sys_sched_setattr(), cure this.

sched/deadline: Deny unprivileged users to set/change SCHED_DEADLINE policy

2014-03-11T10:33:46+00:00

Deny the use of SCHED_DEADLINE policy to unprivileged users.
Even if root users can set the policy for normal users, we
don't want the latter to be able to change their parameters
(safest behavior).

sched: Add 'flags' argument to sched_{set,get}attr() syscalls

2014-02-21T20:27:10+00:00

Because of a recent syscall design debate; its deemed appropriate for
each syscall to have a flags argument for future extension; without
immediately requiring new syscalls.

sched: Fix information leak in sys_sched_getattr()

2014-02-21T20:27:10+00:00

We're copying the on-stack structure to userspace, but forgot to give
the right number of bytes to copy. This allows the calling process to
obtain up to PAGE_SIZE bytes from the stack (and possibly adjacent
kernel memory).

This fix copies only as much as we actually have on the stack
(attr->size defaults to the size of the struct) and leaves the rest of
the userspace-provided buffer untouched.

Found using kmemcheck + trinity.
