2009-01-06mm: introduce get_mm_hiwater_xxx(), fix taskstats->hiwater_xxx accountingOleg Nesterov
xacct_add_tsk() relies on do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() and uses mm->hiwater_xxx directly, this leads to 2 problems: - taskstats_user_cmd() can call fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() at any moment before the task exits, so we should check the current values of rss/vm anyway. - do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls are racy. An exiting thread can be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between. When the first thread resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into account. Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change xacct_add_tsk() to use them. The first helper will also be used by rusage->ru_maxrss accounting. Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls. Unless we are going to decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.

2008-11-14CRED: Use RCU to access another task's creds and to release a task's own credsDavid Howells
Use RCU to access another task's creds and to release a task's own creds. This means that it will be possible for the credentials of a task to be replaced without another task (a) requiring a full lock to read them, and (b) seeing deallocated memory.

2008-11-14CRED: Separate task security context from task_structDavid Howells
Separate the task security context from task_struct. At this point, the security data is temporarily embedded in the task_struct with two pointers pointing to it. Note that the Alpha arch is altered as it refers to (E)UID and (E)GID in entry.S via asm-offsets.

2008-07-27task IO accounting: move all IO statistics in struct task_io_accountingAndrea Righi
Simplify the code of include/linux/task_io_accounting.h. It is also more reasonable to have all the task i/o-related statistics in a single struct (task_io_accounting).

2008-07-27task IO accounting: improve code readabilityAndrea Righi
Put all i/o statistics in struct proc_io_accounting and use inline functions to initialize and increment statistics, removing a lot of single variable assignments. This also reduces the kernel size as following (with CONFIG_TASK_XACCT=y and CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING=y). text data bss dec hex filename 11651 0 0 11651 2d83 kernel/exit.o.before 11619 0 0 11619 2d63 kernel/exit.o.after 10886 132 136 11154 2b92 kernel/fork.o.before 10758 132 136 11026 2b12 kernel/fork.o.after 3082029 807968 4818600 8708597 84e1f5 vmlinux.o.before 3081869 807968 4818600 8708437 84e155 vmlinux.o.after Signed-off-by: Andrea Righi <righi.andrea@gmail.com> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-07-25tsacct: fix bacct_add_tsk()'s use of do_div()David Howells
Fix bacct_add_tsk()'s use of do_div() on an s64 by making ac_etime a u64 instead and dividing that. Possibly this should be guarded lest the interval calculation turn up negative, but the possible negativity of the result of the division is cast away, and it shouldn't end up negative anyway. This was introduced by patch f3cef7a99469afc159fec3a61b42dc7ca5b6824f.

2008-07-25accounting: account for user time when updating memory integralsJonathan Lim
Adapt acct_update_integrals() to include user time when calculating the time difference. The units of acct_rss_mem1 and acct_vm_mem1 are also changed from pages-jiffies to pages-usecs to avoid calling jiffies_to_usecs() in xacct_add_tsk() which might overflow.

2007-10-18Add scaled time to taskstats based process accountingMichael Neuling

Adds account_(user|system)_time_scaled callbacks which architectures can use to account for time using this mechanism.

2007-07-25Cleanup non-arch xtime uses, use get_seconds() or current_kernel_time().john stultz
This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions that we already have available to us. This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ (because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a third of a second or so.

2006-10-28[PATCH] bacct_add_tsk: fix unsafe and wrong parent/group_leader dereferenceOleg Nesterov
1. ts = timespec_sub(uptime, current->group_leader->start_time); It is possible that current != tsk. Probably it was supposed to be 'tsk->group_leader->start_time. But why we are reading group_leader's start_time ? This accounting is per thread, not per procees, I changed this to 'tsk->start_time. Please corect me. 2. stats->ac_ppid = (tsk->parent) ? tsk->parent->pid : 0; tsk->parent never == NULL, and it is unsafe to dereference it. Both the task and it's parent may exit after the caller unlocks tasklist_lock, the memory could be unmapped (DEBUG_SLAB). (And we should use ->real_parent->tgid in fact). Q: I don't understand the 'if (thread_group_leader(tsk))' check. Why it is needed ?

ChangeLog: Feedbacks from Andrew Morton: - define TS_COMM_LEN to 32 - change acct_stimexpd field of task_struct to be of cputime_t, which is to be used to save the tsk->stime of last timer interrupt update. - a new Documentation/accounting/taskstats-struct.txt to describe fields of taskstats struct. Feedback from Balbir Singh: - keep the stime of a task to be zero when both stime and utime are zero as recoreded in task_struct.
