2016-12-14signals: avoid unnecessary taking of sighand->siglockWaiman Long
When running certain database workload on a high-end system with many CPUs, it was found that spinlock contention in the sigprocmask syscalls became a significant portion of the overall CPU cycles as shown below. 9.30% 9.30% 905387 dataserver /proc/kcore 0x7fff8163f4d2 [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq | ---_raw_spin_lock_irq | |--99.34%-- __set_current_blocked | sigprocmask | sys_rt_sigprocmask | system_call_fastpath | | | |--50.63%-- __swapcontext | | | | | |--99.91%-- upsleepgeneric | | | |--49.36%-- __setcontext | | ktskRun Looking further into the swapcontext function in glibc, it was found that the function always call sigprocmask() without checking if there are changes in the signal mask. A check was added to the __set_current_blocked() function to avoid taking the sighand->siglock spinlock if there is no change in the signal mask. This will prevent unneeded spinlock contention when many threads are trying to call sigprocmask(). With this patch applied, the spinlock contention in sigprocmask() was gone.

2016-05-13SIGNAL: Move generic copy_siginfo() to signal.hJames Hogan
The generic copy_siginfo() is currently defined in asm-generic/siginfo.h, after including uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h which defines the generic struct siginfo. However this makes it awkward for an architecture to use it if it has to define its own struct siginfo (e.g. MIPS and potentially IA64), since it means that asm-generic/siginfo.h can only be included after defining the arch-specific siginfo, which may be problematic if the arch-specific definition needs definitions from uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h. It is possible to work around this by first including uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h to get the constants before defining the arch-specific siginfo, and include asm-generic/siginfo.h after. However uapi headers can't be included by other uapi headers, so that first include has to be in an ifdef __kernel__, with the non __kernel__ case including the non-UAPI header instead. Instead of that mess, move the generic copy_siginfo() definition into linux/signal.h, which allows an arch-specific uapi/asm/siginfo.h to include asm-generic/siginfo.h and define the arch-specific siginfo, and for the generic copy_siginfo() to see that arch-specific definition.

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.

2015-11-20kernel/signal.c: unexport sigsuspend()Richard Weinberger
sigsuspend() is nowhere used except in signal.c itself, so we can mark it static do not pollute the global namespace. But this patch is more than a boring cleanup patch, it fixes a real issue on UserModeLinux. UML has a special console driver to display ttys using xterm, or other terminal emulators, on the host side. Vegard reported that sometimes UML is unable to spawn a xterm and he's facing the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 908 at include/linux/thread_info.h:128 sigsuspend+0xab/0xc0() It turned out that this warning makes absolutely no sense as the UML xterm code calls sigsuspend() on the host side, at least it tries. But as the kernel itself offers a sigsuspend() symbol the linker choose this one instead of the glibc wrapper. Interestingly this code used to work since ever but always blocked signals on the wrong side. Some recent kernel change made the WARN_ON() trigger and uncovered the bug. It is a wonderful example of how much works by chance on computers. :-) Fixes: 68f3f16d9ad0f1 ("new helper: sigsuspend()") Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> Reported-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Tested-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.5+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2014-10-14signal: use BUILD_BUG() instead of _NSIG_WORDS_is_unsupported_size()Oleg Nesterov
Kill _NSIG_WORDS_is_unsupported_size(), use BUILD_BUG() instead. This simplifies the code, avoids the nested-externs warnings, and this way we do not defer the problem to linker. Also, fix the indentation in _SIG_SET_BINOP() and _SIG_SET_OP(). Note: this patch assumes that the code like "if (0) BUILD_BUG();" is valid. If not (say __compiletime_error() is not defined and thus __compiletime_error_fallback() uses a negative array) we should fix BUILD_BUG() and/or BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(). This code should be fine by definition, this is the documented purpose of BUILD_BUG().

2013-09-01Introduce [compat_]save_altstack_ex() to unbreak x86 SMAPAl Viro
For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling __put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest. Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad for performance. Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace __[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().

2013-03-19Fix breakage in MIPS siginfo handlingDavid Howells
MIPS's siginfo handling has been broken since this commit: commit 574c4866e33d648520a8bd5bf6f573ea6e554e88 Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Date: Sun Nov 25 22:24:19 2012 -0500 consolidate kernel-side struct sigaction declarations for 64-bit BE MIPS CPUs. The UAPI variant looks like this: struct sigaction { unsigned int sa_flags; __sighandler_t sa_handler; sigset_t sa_mask; }; but the core kernel's variant looks like this: struct sigaction { #ifndef __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION __sighandler_t sa_handler; unsigned long sa_flags; #else unsigned long sa_flags; __sighandler_t sa_handler; #endif #ifdef __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER __sigrestore_t sa_restorer; #endif sigset_t sa_mask; }; The problem is that sa_flags has been changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned long. Fix this by making sa_flags unsigned int if __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION is defined. Whilst we're at it, rename __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION to __ARCH_HAS_IRIX_SIGACTION.

2013-02-03new helper: get_signal()Al Viro
On success get_signal_to_deliver() fills k_sigaction and siginfo. _All_ users pass it addresses of the local variables sitting in the same function. Then they proceed to pass those addresses pretty much in tandem to a bunch of helper functions; again, all callers of those helpers are passing them such a pair, and one that had been through get_signal_to_deliver() at that. The obvious cleanup: introduce a new type that would contain a <k_sigaction,siginfo> pair (struct ksignal) and begin switching to using it. Turns out that it's convenient to store the signal number in the same object. New helper, taking that sucker is a wrapper for get_signal_to_deliver(); takes struct ksignal * and returns bool. On success fills ksignal with the information for signal handler to be invoked. For now it's a macro (to avoid header ordering headache), but eventually it'll be a function in kernel/signal.c, with get_signal_to_deliver() folded into it.

Factor out the common code in sys_rt_sigtimedwait/compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait to the new helper, do_sigtimedwait(). Add the comment to document the extra tick we add to timespec_to_jiffies(ts), thanks to Linus who explained this to me.

2011-04-28signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()Oleg Nesterov
In short, almost every changing of current->blocked is wrong, or at least can lead to the unexpected results. For example. Two threads T1 and T2, T1 sleeps in sigtimedwait/pause/etc. kill(tgid, SIG) can pick T2 for TIF_SIGPENDING. If T2 calls sigprocmask() and blocks SIG before it notices the pending signal, nobody else can handle this pending shared signal. I am not sure this is bug, but at least this looks strange imho. T1 should not sleep forever, there is a signal which should wake it up. This patch moves the code which actually changes ->blocked into the new helper, set_current_blocked() and changes this code to call retarget_shared_pending() as exit_signals() does. We should only care about the signals we just blocked, we use "newset & ~current->blocked" as a mask. We do not check !sigisemptyset(newblocked), retarget_shared_pending() is cheap unless mask & shared_pending. Note: for this particular case we could simply change sigprocmask() to return -EINTR if signal_pending(), but then we should change other callers and, more importantly, if we need this fix then set_current_blocked() will have more callers and some of them can't restart. See the next patch as a random example. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2008-02-08fix group stop with exit raceOleg Nesterov
do_signal_stop() counts all sub-thread and sets ->group_stop_count accordingly. Every thread should decrement ->group_stop_count and stop, the last one should notify the parent. However a sub-thread can exit before it notices the signal_pending(), or it may be somewhere in do_exit() already. In that case the group stop never finishes properly. Note: this is a minimal fix, we can add some optimizations later. Say we can return quickly if thread_group_empty(). Also, we can move some signal related code from exit_notify() to exit_signals().

2007-07-22x86: i386-show-unhandled-signals-v3Masoud Asgharifard Sharbiani
This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a segfault happens. A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace) Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the following: main() { while (1) if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0; } This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this. Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old 'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.

2007-05-11signal/timer/event: signalfd coreDavide Libenzi
This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call. I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be broken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same signal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard kernel delivery in dequeue_signal(). If you want to reliably fetch signals on the signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK). This seems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine. I made a quick test program for it: http://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c The signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor receiver. The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API: int signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize); The "ufd" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going to close/create cycle (Linus idea). Use "ufd" == -1 if you want a brand new signalfd file. The "mask" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested in. The "masksize" parameter is the size of "mask". The signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls. The poll(2) will return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued. As a direct consequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use used together with epoll(2) too. The read(2) system call will return a "struct signalfd_siginfo" structure in the userspace supplied buffer. The return value is the number of bytes copied in the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error. The read(2) call can also return 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached, has been orphaned. The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will return -EAGAIN in case no signal is available. If the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct signalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned. A read from the signalfd can also return -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process. The format of the struct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (->code & __SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would: struct signalfd_siginfo { __u32 signo; /* si_signo */ __s32 err; /* si_errno */ __s32 code; /* si_code */ __u32 pid; /* si_pid */ __u32 uid; /* si_uid */ __s32 fd; /* si_fd */ __u32 tid; /* si_fd */ __u32 band; /* si_band */ __u32 overrun; /* si_overrun */ __u32 trapno; /* si_trapno */ __s32 status; /* si_status */ __s32 svint; /* si_int */ __u64 svptr; /* si_ptr */ __u64 utime; /* si_utime */ __u64 stime; /* si_stime */ __u64 addr; /* si_addr */ }; [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix signalfd_copyinfo() on i386] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2006-07-02[PATCH] irq-flags: consolidate flags for request_irqThomas Gleixner
The recent interrupt rework introduced bit value conflicts with sparc. Instead of introducing new architecture flags mess, move the interrupt SA_ flags out of the signal namespace and replace them by interrupt related flags. This allows to remove the obsolete SA_INTERRUPT flag and clean up the bit field values. This patch: Move the interrupt related SA_ flags out of linux/signal.h and rename them to IRQF_ . This moves the interrupt related flags out of the signal namespace and allows to remove the architecture dependencies. SA_INTERRUPT is not needed by userspace and glibc so it can be removed safely. The existing SA_ constants are kept for easy transition and will be removed after a 6 month grace period.
