This patch selects a preferred node for a task to run on based on the
NUMA hinting faults. This information is later used to migrate tasks

NUMA PTE scanning slows if a NUMA hinting fault was trapped and no page
was migrated. For long-lived but idle processes there may be no faults
but the scan rate will be high and just waste CPU. This patch will slow
the scan rate for processes that are not trapping faults.

The NUMA PTE scan rate is controlled with a combination of the
numa_balancing_scan_period_min, numa_balancing_scan_period_max and
numa_balancing_scan_size. This scan rate is independent of the size
of the task and as an aside it is further complicated by the fact that
numa_balancing_scan_size controls how many pages are marked pte_numa and
not how much virtual memory is scanned.
In combination, it is almost impossible to meaningfully tune the min and
max scan periods and reasoning about performance is complex when the time
to complete a full scan is is partially a function of the tasks memory
size. This patch alters the semantic of the min and max tunables to be
about tuning the length time it takes to complete a scan of a tasks occupied
virtual address space. Conceptually this is a lot easier to understand. There
is a "sanity" check to ensure the scan rate is never extremely fast based on
the amount of virtual memory that should be scanned in a second. The default
of 2.5G seems arbitrary but it is to have the maximum scan rate after the
patch roughly match the maximum scan rate before the patch was applied.
On a similar note, numa_scan_period is in milliseconds and not
jiffies. Properly placed pages slow the scanning rate but adding 10 jiffies
to numa_scan_period means that the rate scanning slows depends on HZ which
is confusing. Get rid of the jiffies_to_msec conversion and treat it as ms.

PTE scanning and NUMA hinting fault handling is expensive so commit
5bca2303 ("mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled
on a new node") deferred the PTE scan until a task had been scheduled on
another node. The problem is that in the purely shared memory case that
this may never happen and no NUMA hinting fault information will be
captured. We are not ruling out the possibility that something better
can be done here but for now, this patch needs to be reverted and depend
entirely on the scan_delay to avoid punishing short-lived processes.

Avoiding marking PTEs pte_numa because a particular NUMA node is migrate rate
limited sees like a bad idea. Even if this node can't migrate anymore other
nodes might and we want up-to-date information to do balance decisions.
We already rate limit the actual migrations, this should leave enough
bandwidth to allow the non-migrating scanning. I think its important we
keep up-to-date information if we're going to do placement based on it.

With a trace_printk("working\n"); right after the cmpxchg in
task_numa_work() we can see that of a 4 thread process, its always the
same task winning the race and doing the protection change.
This is a problem since the task doing the protection change has a
penalty for taking faults -- it is busy when marking the PTEs. If its
always the same task the ->numa_faults[] get severely skewed.
Avoid this by delaying the task doing the protection change such that
it is unlikely to win the privilege again.

The commit facd8b80c6
("irq: Sanitize invoke_softirq") converted irq exit
calls of do_softirq() to __do_softirq() on all architectures,
assuming it was only used there for its irq disablement
properties.
But as a side effect, the softirqs processed in the end
of the hardirq are always called on the inline current
stack that is used by irq_exit() instead of the softirq
stack provided by the archs that override do_softirq().
The result is mostly safe if the architecture runs irq_exit()
on a separate irq stack because then softirqs are processed
on that same stack that is near empty at this stage (assuming
hardirq aren't nesting).
Otherwise irq_exit() runs in the task stack and so does the softirq
too. The interrupted call stack can be randomly deep already and
the softirq can dig through it even further. To add insult to the
injury, this softirq can be interrupted by a new hardirq, maximizing
the chances for a stack overrun as reported in powerpc for example:

Since this is a regression, this patch proposes a minimalistic
and low-risk solution by blindly forcing the hardirq exit processing of
softirqs on the softirq stack. This way we should reduce significantly
the opportunities for task stack overflow dug by softirqs.
Longer term solutions may involve extending the hardirq stack coverage to
irq_exit(), etc...

If /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains only "|", a NULL pointer

This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to

Recent commit 8fd37a4 (PM / hibernate: Create memory bitmaps after
freezing user space) broke the resume part of the user space driven
hibernation (s2disk), because I forgot that the resume utility
loaded the image into memory without freezing user space (it still
freezes tasks after loading the image). This means that during user
space driven resume we need to create the memory bitmaps at the
"device open" time rather than at the "freeze tasks" time, so make
that happen (that's a special case anyway, so it needs to be treated
in a special way).

When using per-cpu preempt_count variables we need to save/restore the
preempt_count on context switch (into per task storage; for instance
the old thread_info::preempt_count variable) because of
PREEMPT_ACTIVE.
However, this means that on fork() the preempt_count value of the last
context switch gets copied and if we had a PREEMPT_ACTIVE switch right
before cloning a child task the child task will now too have
PREEMPT_ACTIVE set and start its life with an extra PREEMPT_ACTIVE
count.
Therefore we need to make init_task_preempt_count() unconditional;
this resets whatever preempt_count we inherited from our parent
process.
Doing so for !per-cpu implementations is harmless.
For !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels we need to be careful not to start life
with an increased preempt_count.

In order to combine the preemption and need_resched test we need to
fold the need_resched information into the preempt_count value.
Since the NEED_RESCHED flag is set across CPUs this needs to be an
atomic operation, however we very much want to avoid making
preempt_count atomic, therefore we keep the existing TIF_NEED_RESCHED
infrastructure in place but at 3 sites test it and fold its value into
preempt_count; namely:
- resched_task() when setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the current task
- scheduler_ipi() when resched_task() sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a
remote task it follows it up with a reschedule IPI
and we can modify the cpu local preempt_count from
there.
- cpu_idle_loop() for when resched_task() found tsk_is_polling().
We use an inverted bitmask to indicate need_resched so that a 0 means
both need_resched and !atomic.
Also remove the barrier() in preempt_enable() between
preempt_enable_no_resched() and preempt_check_resched() to avoid
having to reload the preemption value and allow the compiler to use
the flags of the previuos decrement. I couldn't come up with any sane
reason for this barrier() to be there as preempt_enable_no_resched()
already has a barrier() before doing the decrement.

Fix the two prominent x86 mwait based idle drivers and introduce a few
new generic polling helpers (fixing the wrong smp_mb__after_clear_bit

Also switch the idle routines to using tif_need_resched() which is an
immediate TIF_NEED_RESCHED test as opposed to need_resched which will
end up being slightly different.

watchdog_tresh controls how often nmi perf event counter checks per-cpu
hrtimer_interrupts counter and blows up if the counter hasn't changed
since the last check. The counter is updated by per-cpu
watchdog_hrtimer hrtimer which is scheduled with 2/5 watchdog_thresh
period which guarantees that hrtimer is scheduled 2 times per the main
period. Both hrtimer and perf event are started together when the
watchdog is enabled.
So far so good. But...
But what happens when watchdog_thresh is updated from sysctl handler?
proc_dowatchdog will set a new sampling period and hrtimer callback
(watchdog_timer_fn) will use the new value in the next round. The
problem, however, is that nobody tells the perf event that the sampling
period has changed so it is ticking with the period configured when it
has been set up.
This might result in an ear ripping dissonance between perf and hrtimer
parts if the watchdog_thresh is increased. And even worse it might lead
to KABOOM if the watchdog is configured to panic on such a spurious
lockup.
This patch fixes the issue by updating both nmi perf even counter and
hrtimers if the threshold value has changed.
The nmi one is disabled and then reinitialized from scratch. This has
an unpleasant side effect that the allocation of the new event might
fail theoretically so the hard lockup detector would be disabled for
such cpus. On the other hand such a memory allocation failure is very
unlikely because the original event is deallocated right before.
It would be much nicer if we just changed perf event period but there
doesn't seem to be any API to do that right now. It is also unfortunate
that perf_event_alloc uses GFP_KERNEL allocation unconditionally so we
cannot use on_each_cpu() and do the same thing from the per-cpu context.
The update from the current CPU should be safe because
perf_event_disable removes the event atomically before it clears the
per-cpu watchdog_ev so it cannot change anything under running handler
feet.
The hrtimer is simply restarted (thanks to Don Zickus who has pointed
this out) if it is queued because we cannot rely it will fire&adopt to
the new sampling period before a new nmi event triggers (when the
treshold is decreased).

In this patch, we keep track of the max cost we spend doing idle load balancing
for each sched domain. If the avg time the CPU remains idle is less then the
time we have already spent on idle balancing + the max cost of idle balancing
in the sched domain, then we don't continue to attempt the balance. We also
keep a per rq variable, max_idle_balance_cost, which keeps track of the max
time spent on newidle load balances throughout all its domains so that we can
determine the avg_idle's max value.
By using the max, we avoid overrunning the average. This further reduces the
chance we attempt balancing when the CPU is not idle for longer than the cost
to balance.

In busiest->group_imb case we can come to fix_small_imbalance() with

if (busiest->avg_load - local->avg_load + scaled_busy_load_per_task >=

As a result we can end up constantly bouncing tasks from one cpu to

Solve the problems around the broken definition of perf_event_mmap_page::
cap_usr_time and cap_usr_rdpmc fields which used to overlap, partially
fixed by:
860f085b74 ("perf: Fix broken union in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'")
The problem with the fix (merged in v3.12-rc1 and not yet released
officially), noticed by Vince Weaver is that the new behavior is
not detectable by new user-space, and that due to the reuse of the
field names it's easy to mis-compile a binary if old headers are used
on a new kernel or new headers are used on an old kernel.
To solve all that make this change explicit, detectable and self-contained,
by iterating the ABI the following way:
- Always clear bit 0, and rename it to usrpage->cap_bit0, to at least not
confuse old user-space binaries. RDPMC will be marked as unavailable
to old binaries but that's within the ABI, this is a capability bit.
- Rename bit 1 to ->cap_bit0_is_deprecated and always set it to 1, so new
libraries can reliably detect that bit 0 is deprecated and perma-zero
without having to check the kernel version.
- Use bits 2, 3, 4 for the newly defined, correct functionality:
cap_user_rdpmc : 1, /* The RDPMC instruction can be used to read counts */
cap_user_time : 1, /* The time_* fields are used */
cap_user_time_zero : 1, /* The time_zero field is used */
- Rename all the bitfield names in perf_event.h to be different from the
old names, to make sure it's not possible to mis-compile it
accidentally with old assumptions.
The 'size' field can then be used in the future to add new fields and it
will act as a natural ABI version indicator as well.
Also adjust tools/perf/ userspace for the new definitions, noticed by
Adrian Hunter.

"Misc fixes"

sched: Fix comment for sched_info_depart
sched/Documentation: Update sched-design-CFS.txt documentation
sched/debug: Take PID namespace into account
sched/fair: Fix small race where child->se.parent,cfs_rq might point to invalid ones
sched_info_depart seems to be only called from
sched_info_switch(), so only on involuntary task switch.
Fix the comment to match.

Pull aio changes from Ben LaHaise:
"First off, sorry for this pull request being late in the merge window.
Al had raised a couple of concerns about 2 items in the series below.
I addressed the first issue (the race introduced by Gu's use of
mm_populate()), but he has not provided any further details on how he
wants to rework the anon_inode.c changes (which were sent out months
ago but have yet to be commented on).
The bulk of the changes have been sitting in the -next tree for a few
months, with all the issues raised being addressed"
