In certain occasions it is possible for a hung task detector
positive to be false: continuation from a paused VM, for example.
Add a method to reset detection, similar as is done

The original SOFT_DISABLE patches didn't add support for soft disable
of syscall events; this adds it.
Add an array of ftrace_event_file pointers indexed by syscall number
to the trace array and remove the existing enabled bitmaps, which as a
result are now redundant. The ftrace_event_file structs in turn
contain the soft disable flags we need for per-syscall soft disable
accounting.
Adding ftrace_event_files also means we can remove the USE_CALL_FILTER
bit, thus enabling multibuffer filter support for syscall events.

The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
filters in the multibuffer case:
Before:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
the same event in tracing/events as it does above.
After:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.
The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces
it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as
appropriate).

Perf uses rcu_read_lock() but as the function tracer can trace functions
even when RCU is not currently active, this makes the rcu_read_lock()
used by perf ineffective.
As perf is currently the only user of the ftrace_ops_control_func() and
perf is also the only function callback that actively uses rcu_read_lock(),
the quick fix is to prevent the ftrace_ops_control_func() from calling
its callbacks if RCU is not active.
With Paul's new "rcu_is_watching()" we can tell if RCU is active or not.

As perf uses the rcu_read_lock() primitives for recording into its
ring buffer, perf tracing can not be called when RCU in inactive.
With the perf function tracing, there are functions that can be
traced when RCU is not active, and perf must not have its function
callback called when this is the case.
Luckily, Paul McKenney has created a way to detect when RCU is
active or not with the rcu_is_watching() function. Unfortunately,
this function can also be traced, and if that happens it can cause
a bit of overhead for the perf function calls that do the check.
Recursion protection prevents anything bad from happening, but
there is a bit of added overhead for every function being traced that
must detect that the rcu_is_watching() is also being traced.
As rcu_is_watching() is a helper routine and not part of the
critical logic in RCU, it does not need to be traced in order to
debug RCU itself. Add the "notrace" annotation to all the rcu_is_watching()
calls such that we never trace it.

In many cases you can infer this, based on the context of the syscall
and the result. In other cases it's not so obvious. For instance, in
the case where you have a file being renamed over another, you'll have
two different records with the same filename but different inode info.
By logging this information we can clearly tell which one was created

When the audit=1 kernel parameter is absent and auditd is not running,
AUDIT_USER_AVC messages are being silently discarded.
AUDIT_USER_AVC messages should be sent to userspace using printk(), as
mentioned in the commit message of 4a4cd633 ("AUDIT: Optimise the
audit-disabled case for discarding user messages").
When audit_enabled is 0, audit_receive_msg() discards all user messages
except for AUDIT_USER_AVC messages. However, audit_log_common_recv_msg()
refuses to allocate an audit_buffer if audit_enabled is 0. The fix is to
special case AUDIT_USER_AVC messages in both functions.
It looks like commit 50397bd1 ("[AUDIT] clean up audit_receive_msg()")

For our case, the macro is not portable either: some architectures'
assembler may use another character to mark newline in a macro (e.g.

Using a spinlock to atomically increase a counter sounds wrong -- we've

Also move 'seq_nr' to a different cache line than 'lock' to reduce cache
line trashing. This has the nice side effect of decreasing the size of
struct parallel_data from 192 to 128 bytes for a x86-64 build, e.g.
occupying only two instead of three cache lines.
Those changes results in a 5% performance increase on an IPsec test run

In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid
dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind
its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at
least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself.
Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp
instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the
child can return from the function called by the parent. But this
needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually
does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).

This finally fixes the serious bug in uretprobes: a forked child
crashes if the parent called fork() with the pending ret probe.
Trivial test-case:
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 __fork%return
# perf record -e probe_libc:__fork perl -le 'fork || print "OK"'
(the child doesn't print "OK", it is killed by SIGSEGV)
If the child returns from the probed function it actually returns
to trampoline_vaddr, because it got the copy of parent's stack
mangled by prepare_uretprobe() when the parent entered this func.
It crashes because a) this address is not mapped and b) until the
previous change it doesn't have the proper->return_instances info.
This means that uprobe_copy_process() has to create xol_area which
has the trampoline slot, and its vaddr should be equal to parent's
xol_area->vaddr.
Unfortunately, uprobe_copy_process() can not simply do
__create_xol_area(child, xol_area->vaddr). This could actually work
but perf_event_mmap() doesn't expect the usage of foreign ->mm. So
we offload this to task_work_run(), and pass the argument via not
yet used utask->vaddr.
We know that this vaddr is fine for install_special_mapping(), the
necessary hole was recently "created" by dup_mmap() which skips the
parent's VM_DONTCOPY area, and nobody else could use the new mm.
Unfortunately, this also means that we can not handle the errors
properly, we obviously can not abort the already completed fork().
So we simply print the warning if GFP_KERNEL allocation (the only
possible reason) fails.

uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need
->utask, it should be allocated by demand.
But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret-
probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs
the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the
child crashes when it returns from the probed function.
Alternatively we could cleanup the child's stack, but this needs
per-arch changes and this is not what we want. At least systemtap
expects a .return in the child too.
Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next
change.

but the next patches need to use the fixed address. So this patch
adds the new "vaddr" argument to __create_xol_area() which should
be used as area->vaddr if it is nonzero.
xol_add_vma() doesn't bother to verify that the predefined addr is

Preparation for the next patches.
Move the callsite of uprobe_copy_process() in copy_process() down
to the succesfull return. We do not care if copy_process() fails,
uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong
->utask != NULL doesn't matter.
OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when
uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return
to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can:
1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary
2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area
3. use task_work_add(p)
Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it
can see get_utask().

throttle_cfs_rq() doesn't check to make sure that period_timer is running,
and while update_curr/assign_cfs_runtime does, a concurrently running
period_timer on another cpu could cancel itself between this cpu's
update_curr and throttle_cfs_rq(). If there are no other cfs_rqs running
in the tg to restart the timer, this causes the cfs_rq to be stranded
forever.
Fix this by calling __start_cfs_bandwidth() in throttle if the timer is
inactive.
(Also add some sched_debug lines for cfs_bandwidth.)
Tested: make a run/sleep task in a cgroup, loop switching the cgroup
between 1ms/100ms quota and unlimited, checking for timer_active=0 and
throttled=1 as a failure. With the throttle_cfs_rq() change commented out

In commit ee23871389 ("genirq: Set irq thread to RT priority on

context for instance if the user opens an UART node and then driver
calls requests in the ->open() callback. That user may not have
CAP_SYS_NICE and so the irq thread won't run with the SCHED_OTHER
policy.
This patch uses sched_setscheduler_nocheck() so we omit the CAP_SYS_NICE
check which is otherwise required for the SCHED_OTHER policy.

Marc Kleine-Budde pointed out, that commit 77cc982 "clocksource: use
clockevents_config_and_register() where possible" caused a regression
for some of the converted subarchs.
The reason is, that the clockevents core code converts the minimal
hardware tick delta to a nanosecond value for core internal
usage. This conversion is affected by integer math rounding loss, so
the backwards conversion to hardware ticks will likely result in a
value which is less than the configured hardware limitation. The
affected subarchs used their own workaround (SIGH!) which got lost in
the conversion.
The solution for the issue at hand is simple: adding evt->mult - 1 to
the shifted value before the integer divison in the core conversion
function takes care of it. But this only works for the case where for
the scaled math mult/shift pair "mult <= 1 << shift" is true. For the
case where "mult > 1 << shift" we can apply the rounding add only for
the minimum delta value to make sure that the backward conversion is
not less than the given hardware limit. For the upper bound we need to
omit the rounding add, because the backwards conversion is always
larger than the original latch value. That would violate the upper
bound of the hardware device.
Though looking closer at the details of that function reveals another
bogosity: The upper bounds check is broken as well. Checking for a
resulting "clc" value greater than KTIME_MAX after the conversion is
pointless. The conversion does:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) / evt->mult;
So there is no sanity check for (latch << evt->shift) exceeding the
64bit boundary. The latch argument is "unsigned long", so on a 64bit
arch the handed in argument could easily lead to an unnoticed shift
overflow. With the above rounding fix applied the calculation before
the divison is:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) + evt->mult - 1;
So we need to make sure, that neither the shift nor the rounding add
is overflowing the u64 boundary.

Usage of the static key primitives to toggle a branch must not be used
before jump_label_init() is called from init/main.c. jump_label_init
reorganizes and wires up the jump_entries so usage before that could
have unforeseen consequences.
Following primitives are now checked for correct use:
* static_key_slow_inc
* static_key_slow_dec
* static_key_slow_dec_deferred
* jump_label_rate_limit
The x86 architecture already checks this by testing if the default_nop
was already replaced with an optimal nop or with a branch instruction. It
will panic then. Other architectures don't check for this.
Because we need to relax this check for the x86 arch to allow code to
transition from default_nop to the enabled state and other architectures
did not check for this at all this patch introduces checking on the
static_key primitives in a non-arch dependent manner.
All checked functions are considered slow-path so the additional check
does no harm to performance.
The warnings are best observed with earlyprintk.

The out-of-bounds access happens on 'parser->buffer[parser->idx] = 0;'
Although the crash happened in ftrace_regex_open() the real bug
occurred in trace_get_user() where there's an incrementation to
parser->idx without a check against the size. The way it is triggered
is if userspace sends in 128 characters (EVENT_BUF_SIZE + 1), the loop
that reads the last character stores it and then breaks out because
there is no more characters. Then the last character is read to determine
what to do next, and the index is incremented without checking size.
Then the caller of trace_get_user() usually nulls out the last character
with a zero, but since the index is equal to the size, it writes a nul
character after the allocated space, which can corrupt memory.
Luckily, only root user has write access to this file.

Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide
on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008)
Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no
RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when
clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect.
First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the
closest userland equivlents).
Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and
clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid.
While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported
on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that
doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error
handling.
Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

Rather than hard-lock the kernel, dump the suspend/resume thread stack
and panic() to capture a message in pstore when a driver takes too long
to suspend/resume. Default suspend/resume watchdog timeout is set to 12
seconds to be longer than the usbhid 10 second timeout, but could be
changed at compile time.
Exclude from the watchdog the time spent waiting for children that
are resumed asynchronously and time every device, whether or not they
resumed synchronously.
This patch is targeted for mobile devices where a suspend/resume lockup
could cause a system reboot. Information about failing device can be
retrieved in subsequent boot session by mounting pstore and inspecting
the log. Laptops with EFI-enabled pstore could also benefit from
this feature.
The hardware watchdog timer is likely suspended during this time and
couldn't be relied upon. The soft-lockup detector would eventually tell
that tasks are not scheduled, but would provide little context as to why.
The patch hence uses system timer and assumes it is still active while the
devices are suspended/resumed.
This feature can be enabled/disabled during kernel configuration.
This change is based on earlier work by San Mehat.

For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).
We have identified cases where it would not report the correct mapping
information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids. We will revisit
the support once we find a solution for this case.
The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The
patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for
synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting
attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it.
The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.
In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.
In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know
it will fail and require fallback retry.

Add the new helper, prepare_to_wait_event() which should only be used

prepare_to_wait_event() returns -ERESTARTSYS if signal_pending_state()

uninline the signal-pending checks in wait_event*() macros.
Also, it can initialize wait->private/func. We do not care if they were
already initialized, the values are the same. This also shaves a couple
of insns from the inlined code.
This obviously makes prepare_*() path a little bit slower, but we are

Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that
use it:
- sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in
'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging.
- sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the
task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore
also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using
stop_machine. However switch to active mask for symmetry with
sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active
mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down.
- sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus()
either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant:
* cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask,
for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and
thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT).
* set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has
preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug
races explicitly where it releases them.
- migrate_swap(); we can make stop_two_cpus() do the heavy lifting for
us with a little trickery. By adding a sync_sched/rcu() after the
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier we can provide preempt/rcu guarantees for
cpu_active_mask. Use these to validate that both our cpus are active
when queueing the stop work before we queue the stop_machine works
for take_cpu_down().

There is a subtle race in migrate_swap, when task P, on CPU A, decides to swap
places with task T, on CPU B.
Task P:
- call migrate_swap
Task T:
- go to sleep, removing itself from the runqueue
Task P:
- double lock the runqueues on CPU A & B
Task T:
- get woken up, place itself on the runqueue of CPU C
Task P:
- see that task T is on a runqueue, and pretend to remove it
from the runqueue on CPU B
Now CPUs B & C both have corrupted scheduler data structures.
This patch fixes it, by holding the pi_lock for both of the tasks
involved in the migrate swap. This prevents task T from waking up,
and placing itself onto another runqueue, until after migrate_swap
has released all locks.
This means that, when migrate_swap checks, task T will be either
on the runqueue where it was originally seen, or not on any
runqueue at all. Migrate_swap deals correctly with of those cases.

Both Anjana and Eunki reported a stall in the while_each_thread loop
in cgroup_attach_task().
It's because, when we attach a single thread to a cgroup, if the cgroup
is exiting or is already in that cgroup, we won't break the loop.
If the task is already in the cgroup, the bug can lead to another thread
being attached to the cgroup unexpectedly:
# echo 5207 > tasks
# cat tasks
5207
# echo 5207 > tasks
# cat tasks
5207
5215
What's worse, if the task to be attached isn't the leader of the thread
group, we might never exit the loop, hence cpu stall. Thanks for Oleg's
analysis.

The current "help" that comes out of the snapshot file when it is
not allocated looks like this:
# * Snapshot is freed *

# Snapshot commands:
# echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
# echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
# Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
# echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate)
# (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
# is not a '0' or '1')
Echo 2 says that it does not allocate the buffer, which is correct,
but to be more consistent with "echo 0" it should also state
that it does not free.

Short spikes of CPU load can lead to a task being migrated
away from its preferred node for temporary reasons.
It is important that the task is migrated back to where it
belongs, in order to avoid migrating too much memory to its
new location, and generally disturbing a task's NUMA location.
This patch fixes NUMA placement for 4 specjbb instances on
a 4 node system. Without this patch, things take longer to

Shared faults can lead to lots of unnecessary page migrations,
slowing down the system, and causing private faults to hit the
per-pgdat migration ratelimit.
This patch adds sysctl numa_balancing_migrate_deferred, which specifies
how many shared page migrations to skip unconditionally, after each page
migration that is skipped because it is a shared fault.
This reduces the number of page migrations back and forth in
shared fault situations. It also gives a strong preference to
the tasks that are already running where most of the memory is,
and to moving the other tasks to near the memory.
Testing this with a much higher scan rate than the default
still seems to result in fewer page migrations than before.
Memory seems to be somewhat better consolidated than previously,
with multi-instance specjbb runs on a 4 node system.

Adjust numa_scan_period in task_numa_placement, depending on how much
useful work the numa code can do. The more local faults there are in a
given scan window the longer the period (and hence the slower the scan rate)
during the next window. If there are excessive shared faults then the scan
period will decrease with the amount of scaling depending on whether the
ratio of shared/private faults. If the preferred node changes then the
scan rate is reset to recheck if the task is properly placed.

This patch classifies scheduler domains and runqueues into types depending
the number of tasks that are about their NUMA placement and the number
that are currently running on their preferred node. The types are
regular: There are tasks running that do not care about their NUMA
placement.
remote: There are tasks running that care about their placement but are
currently running on a node remote to their ideal placement
all: No distinction
To implement this the patch tracks the number of tasks that are optimally
NUMA placed (rq->nr_preferred_running) and the number of tasks running
that care about their placement (nr_numa_running). The load balancer
uses this information to avoid migrating idea placed NUMA tasks as long
as better options for load balancing exists. For example, it will not
consider balancing between a group whose tasks are all perfectly placed
and a group with remote tasks.

accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is

The load balancer can move tasks between nodes and does not take NUMA
locality into account. With automatic NUMA balancing this may result in the
tasks working set being migrated to the new node. However, as the fault
buffer will still store faults from the old node the schduler may decide to
reset the preferred node and migrate the task back resulting in more
migrations.
The ideal would be that the scheduler did not migrate tasks with a heavy
memory footprint but this may result nodes being overloaded. We could
also discard the fault information on task migration but this would still
cause all the tasks working set to be migrated. This patch simply avoids
migrating the memory for a short time after a task is migrated.

Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that
are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically
there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on
the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is
that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are
interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good
average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even
applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge
page boundary.
To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process
applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses
are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also,
no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but
interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure.
To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required
but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from
Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking"
to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as
well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than
just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to
determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect
private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where
the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared
faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons.
First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move
towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then
scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared
tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is
effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as
private faults can result in lower performance overall.
The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small
number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared
array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected
as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision.
The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each
other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

task_numa_work skips small VMAs. At the time the logic was to reduce the
scanning overhead which was considerable. It is a dubious hack at best.
It would make much more sense to cache where faults have been observed
and only rescan those regions during subsequent PTE scans. Remove this
hack as motivation to do it properly in the future.

Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults
that are private to a task and those that are shared. This patch prepares
infrastructure for separately accounting shared and private faults by
allocating the necessary buffers and passing in relevant information. For
now, all faults are treated as private and detection will be introduced
later.

A preferred node is selected based on the node the most NUMA hinting
faults was incurred on. There is no guarantee that the task is running
on that node at the time so this patch rescheules the task to run on
the most idle CPU of the selected node when selected. This avoids
waiting for the balancer to make a decision.

This patch favours moving tasks towards NUMA node that recorded a higher
number of NUMA faults during active load balancing. Ideally this is
self-reinforcing as the longer the task runs on that node, the more faults
it should incur causing task_numa_placement to keep the task running on that
node. In reality a big weakness is that the nodes CPUs can be overloaded
and it would be more efficient to queue tasks on an idle node and migrate
to the new node. This would require additional smarts in the balancer so
for now the balancer will simply prefer to place the task on the preferred
node for a PTE scans which is controlled by the numa_balancing_settle_count
sysctl. Once the settle_count number of scans has complete the schedule
is free to place the task on an alternative node if the load is imbalanced.

NUMA hinting fault counts and placement decisions are both recorded in the
same array which distorts the samples in an unpredictable fashion. The values
linearly accumulate during the scan and then decay creating a sawtooth-like
pattern in the per-node counts. It also means that placement decisions are
time sensitive. At best it means that it is very difficult to state that
the buffer holds a decaying average of past faulting behaviour. At worst,
it can confuse the load balancer if it sees one node with an artifically high
count due to very recent faulting activity and may create a bouncing effect.
This patch adds a second array. numa_faults stores the historical data
which is used for placement decisions. numa_faults_buffer holds the
fault activity during the current scan window. When the scan completes,
numa_faults decays and the values from numa_faults_buffer are copied
across.

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

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.

Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample
type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful
for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen
due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another
CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort.
The tuning strategies are very different for those cases,
so it's important to distinguish them easily and early.
Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this
in the kernel we report all the events out and allow
some post processing in user space.
The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly
generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition
to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an
program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific
classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision.
Flags:
Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION)
(HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION)
Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC)
Retryable transaction (RETRY)
Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT)
Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE)
Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ)
Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code.
This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common
case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff)
To handle this case we include the TSX abort code
Common example aborts in TSX would be:
- Data conflict with another thread on memory read.
Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT
- executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC
- HLE transaction in user space is too large
Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE
The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION.
This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out.
v2: Add MEM/MISC
v3: Move transaction to the end
v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc
v5: Remove _SAMPLE. Move abort flags to 32bit. Rename
transaction to txn

While auditing the list_entry usage due to a trinity bug I found that
perf_pmu_migrate_context violates the rules for
perf_event::event_entry.
The problem is that perf_event::event_entry is a RCU list element, and
hence we must wait for a full RCU grace period before re-using the
element after deletion.
Therefore the usage in perf_pmu_migrate_context() which re-uses the
entry immediately is broken. For now introduce another list_head into
perf_event for this specific usage.
This doesn't actually fix the trinity report because that never goes
through this code.

This patch adds a kgdb_nmicallin() interface that can be used by
external NMI handlers to call the KGDB/KDB handler. The primary
need for this is for those types of NMI interrupts where all the
CPUs have already received the NMI signal. Therefore no
send_IPI(NMI) is required, and in fact it will cause a 2nd
unhandled NMI to occur. This generates the "Dazed and Confuzed"
messages.
Since all the CPUs are getting the NMI at roughly the same time,
it's not guaranteed that the first CPU that hits the NMI handler
will manage to enter KGDB and set the dbg_master_lock before the
slaves start entering. The new argument "send_ready" was added
for KGDB to signal the NMI handler to release the slave CPUs for
entry into KGDB.

Pull (mostly) ARM clocksource driver updates from Daniel Lezcano:
" - Soren Brinkmann added FEAT_PERCPU to a clock device when it is local
per cpu. This feature prevents the clock framework to choose a per cpu
timer as a broadcast timer. This problem arised when the ARM global
timer is used when switching to the broadcast timer which is the case
now on Xillinx with its cpuidle driver.
- Stephen Boyd extended the generic sched_clock code to support 64bit
counters and removes the setup_sched_clock deprecation, as that causes
lots of warnings since there's still users in the arch/arm tree. He
added also the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag on the architected
timer as they continue counting during suspend.
- Uwe Kleine-König added some missing __init sections and consolidated the
code by moving the of_node_put call from the drivers to the function
clocksource_of_init. "

On most ARM systems the per-cpu clockevents are truly per-cpu in
the sense that they can't be controlled on any other CPU besides
the CPU that they interrupt. If one of these clockevents were to
become a broadcast source we will run into a lot of trouble
because the broadcast source is enabled on the first CPU to go
into deep idle (if that CPU suffers from FEAT_C3_STOP) and that
could be a different CPU than what the clockevent is interrupting
(or even worse the CPU that the clockevent interrupts could be
offline).
Theoretically it's possible to support per-cpu clockevents as the
broadcast source but so far we haven't needed this and supporting
it is rather complicated. Let's just deny the possibility for now
until this becomes a reality (let's hope it never does!).

If irq_exit() is called on the arch's specified irq stack,
it should be safe to run softirqs inline under that same
irq stack as it is near empty by the time we call irq_exit().
For example if we use the same stack for both hard and soft irqs here,
the worst case scenario is:
hardirq -> softirq -> hardirq. But then the softirq supersedes the
first hardirq as the stack user since irq_exit() is called in
a mostly empty stack. So the stack merge in this case looks acceptable.
Stack overrun still have a chance to happen if hardirqs have more
opportunities to nest, but then it's another problem to solve.
So lets adapt the irq exit's softirq stack on top of a new Kconfig symbol
that can be defined when irq_exit() runs on the irq stack. That way
we can spare some stack switch on irq processing and all the cache
issues that come along.

do_softirq() has a debug check that verifies that it is not nesting
on softirqs processing, nor miscounting the softirq part of the preempt
count.
But making sure that softirqs processing don't nest is actually a more
generic concern that applies to any caller of __do_softirq().
Do take it one step further and generalize that debug check to
any softirq processing.

Before processing softirqs on hardirq exit, we already
do the check for pending softirqs while hardirqs are
guaranteed to be disabled.

All arch overriden implementations of do_softirq() share the following
common code: disable irqs (to avoid races with the pending check),
check if there are softirqs pending, then execute __do_softirq() on
a specific stack.
Consolidate the common parts such that archs only worry about the
stack switch.

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
dereference happens upon core dump because argv_split("") returns
argv[0] == NULL.
This bug was once fixed by commit 264b83c07a ("usermodehelper: check
subprocess_info->path != NULL") but was by error reintroduced by commit
7f57cfa4e2 ("usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check").
This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to
pipe was added). Depending on kernel version and config, some side

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).

The CONFIG_64BIT requirement on vtime can finally be removed
since we now depend on HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which
already takes care of the arch ability to handle nsecs based
cputime_t safely.

With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.
Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
enable after they've been audited for potential races.
This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.
Feature requested by Frederic Weisbecker.
