13aa9a6b0f pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: use SEND_SIG_NOINFO instead of force_sig()
zap_pid_ns_processes() uses force_sig(SIGKILL) to ensure SIGKILL will be
delivered to sub-namespace inits as well.  This is correct, but we are
going to change force_sig_info() semantics.  See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395#c31

We can use send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_NOINFO) instead, since
614c517d7c ("signals: SEND_SIG_NOINFO should
be considered as SI_FROMUSER()") SEND_SIG_NOINFO means "from user" and
therefore send_signal() will get the correct from_ancestor_ns = T flag.

4ab78683c1 cgroups: fix race between userspace and kernelspace
Notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup
directory to avoid race between userspace and kernelspace.

eventfd are used to notify about two types of event:
 - control file-specific, like crossing memory threshold;
 - cgroup removing.

To understand what really happen, userspace can check if the cgroup still
exists.  To avoid race beetween userspace and kernelspace we have to
notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup
directory.

0dea116876 cgroup: implement eventfd-based generic API for notifications
This patchset introduces eventfd-based API for notifications in cgroups
and implements memory notifications on top of it.

It uses statistics in memory controler to track memory usage.

Non-root cgroup after changes (1 thresholds, never crossed):
	make -j2  507.55 user 64.08s system 193% cpu 4:55.63 total

This patch:

Introduce the write-only file "cgroup.event_control" in every cgroup.

To register new notification handler you need:
- create an eventfd;
- open a control file to be monitored. Callbacks register_event() and
  unregister_event() must be defined for the control file;
- write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
  Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;

eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
cgroup is removed.

To unregister notification handler just close eventfd.

If you need notification functionality for a control file you have to
implement callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() in the
struct cftype.

cf5d5941fd cgroups: subsystem module unloading
Provides support for unloading modular subsystems.

This patch adds a new function cgroup_unload_subsys which is to be used
for removing a loaded subsystem during module deletion.  Reference
counting of the subsystems' modules is moved from once (at load time) to
once per attached hierarchy (in parse_cgroupfs_options and
rebind_subsystems) (i.e., 0 or 1).

e6a1105ba0 cgroups: subsystem module loading interface
Add interface between cgroups subsystem management and module loading

This patch implements rudimentary module-loading support for cgroups -
namely, a cgroup_load_subsys (similar to cgroup_init_subsys) for use as a
module initcall, and a struct module pointer in struct cgroup_subsys.

Several functions that might be wanted by modules have had EXPORT_SYMBOL
added to them, but it's unclear exactly which functions want it and which
won't.

aae8aab403 cgroups: revamp subsys array
This patch series provides the ability for cgroup subsystems to be
compiled as modules both within and outside the kernel tree.  This is
mainly useful for classifiers and subsystems that hook into components
that are already modules.  cls_cgroup and blkio-cgroup serve as the
example use cases for this feature.

It provides an interface cgroup_load_subsys() and cgroup_unload_subsys()
which modular subsystems can use to register and depart during runtime.
The net_cls classifier subsystem serves as the example for a subsystem
which can be converted into a module using these changes.

Patch #1 sets up the subsys[] array so its contents can be dynamic as
modules appear and (eventually) disappear.  Iterations over the array are
modified to handle when subsystems are absent, and the dynamic section of
the array is protected by cgroup_mutex.

Patch #2 implements an interface for modules to load subsystems, called
cgroup_load_subsys, similar to cgroup_init_subsys, and adds a module
pointer in struct cgroup_subsys.

Patch #3 adds a mechanism for unloading modular subsystems, which includes
a more advanced rework of the rudimentary reference counting introduced in
patch 2.

Patch #4 modifies the net_cls subsystem, which already had some module
declarations, to be configurable as a module, which also serves as a
simple proof-of-concept.

Part of implementing patches 2 and 4 involved updating css pointers in
each css_set when the module appears or leaves.  In doing this, it was
discovered that css_sets always remain linked to the dummy cgroup,
regardless of whether or not any subsystems are actually bound to it
(i.e., not mounted on an actual hierarchy).  The subsystem loading and
unloading code therefore should keep in mind the special cases where the
added subsystem is the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all
css_sets need to be linked back into it) and where the removed subsys was
the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all css_sets should be
unlinked from it) - however, as all css_sets always stay attached to the
dummy cgroup anyway, these cases are ignored.  Any fix that addresses this
issue should also make sure these cases are addressed in the subsystem
loading and unloading code.

This patch:

Make subsys[] able to be dynamically populated to support modular
subsystems

This patch reworks the way the subsys[] array is used so that subsystems
can register themselves after boot time, and enables the internals of
cgroups to be able to handle when subsystems are not present or may
appear/disappear.

d7b9fff711 cgroup: introduce coalesce css_get() and css_put()
Current css_get() and css_put() increment/decrement css->refcnt one by
one.

This patch add a new function __css_get(), which takes "count" as a arg
and increment the css->refcnt by "count".  And this patch also add a new
arg("count") to __css_put() and change the function to decrement the
css->refcnt by "count".

These coalesce version of __css_get()/__css_put() will be used to improve
performance of memcg's moving charge feature later, where instead of
calling css_get()/css_put() repeatedly, these new functions will be used.

No change is needed for current users of css_get()/css_put().

baed7fc9b5 Add generic sys_ipc wrapper
Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall.  Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.

There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters.  frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere.  The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.

Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

802702e0c2 timer: Try to survive timer callback preempt_count leak
If a timer callback leaks preempt_count we currently assert a
BUG(). That makes it unnecessarily hard to retrieve information about
the problem especially on laptops and headless stations.

There is a decent chance to survive the preempt_count leak by
restoring the preempt_count to the value before the callback. That
allows in many cases to get valuable information about the root cause
of the problem.

We carried that fixup in preempt-rt for years and were able to decode
such wreckage quite a few times.

c28739375b cpu-timers: Avoid iterating over all threads in fastpath_timer_check()
Spread p->sighand->siglock locking scope to make sure that
fastpath_timer_check() never iterates over all threads. Without
locking there is small possibility that signal->cputimer will stop
running while we write values to signal->cputime_expires.

Calling thread_group_cputime() from fastpath_timer_check() is not only
bad because it is slow, also it is racy with __exit_signal() which can
lead to invalid signal->{s,u}time values.

The current logic which handles clock events programming failures can

Sanitize it by:
 - prevent zero increase when min_delta_ns == 1
 - limiting min_delta_ns to a jiffie
 - bail out if the jiffie limit is hit
 - add retries stats for /proc/timer_list so we can gather data

e12f31d3e5 sched: Remove avg_overlap
Both avg_overlap and avg_wakeup had an inherent problem in that their accuracy
was detrimentally affected by cross-cpu wakeups, this because we are missing
the necessary call to update_curr().  This can't be fixed without increasing
overhead in our already too fat fastpath.

Additionally, with recent load balancing changes making us prefer to place tasks
in an idle cache domain (which is good for compute bound loads), communicating
tasks suffer when a sync wakeup, which would enable affine placement, is turned
into a non-sync wakeup by SYNC_LESS.  With one task on the runqueue, wake_affine()
rejects the affine wakeup request, leaving the unfortunate where placed, taking
frequent cache misses.

Remove it, and recover some fastpath cycles.

007b09243b rcu: Increase RCU CPU stall timeouts if PROVE_RCU
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU imposes additional overhead on the kernel, so
increase the RCU CPU stall timeouts in an attempt to allow for
this effect.

3f379b03fb ftrace: Replace read_barrier_depends() with rcu_dereference_raw()
Replace the calls to read_barrier_depends() in
ftrace_list_func() with rcu_dereference_raw() to improve
readability.  The reason that we use rcu_dereference_raw() here
is that removed entries are never freed, instead they are simply
leaked.  This is one of a very few cases where use of
rcu_dereference_raw() is the long-term right answer.  And I
don't yet know of any others.  ;-)

220b140b52 perf_event: Fix oops triggered by cpu offline/online
Anton Blanchard found that he could reliably make the kernel hit a
BUG_ON in the slab allocator by taking a cpu offline and then online
while a system-wide perf record session was running.

The reason is that when the cpu comes up, we completely reinitialize
the ctx field of the struct perf_cpu_context for the cpu.  If there is
a system-wide perf record session running, then there will be a struct
perf_event that has a reference to the context, so its refcount will
be 2.  (The perf_event has been removed from the context's group_entry
and event_entry lists by perf_event_exit_cpu(), but that doesn't
remove the perf_event's reference to the context and doesn't decrement
the context's refcount.)

When the cpu comes up, perf_event_init_cpu() gets called, and it calls
__perf_event_init_context() on the cpu's context.  That resets the
refcount to 1.  Then when the perf record session finishes and the
perf_event is closed, the refcount gets decremented to 0 and the
context gets kfreed after an RCU grace period.  Since the context
wasn't kmalloced -- it's part of a per-cpu variable -- bad things
happen.

In fact we don't need to completely reinitialize the context when the
cpu comes up.  It's sufficient to initialize the context once at boot,
but we need to do it for all possible cpus.

This moves the context initialization to happen at boot time.  With
this, we don't trash the refcount and the context never gets kfreed,
and we don't hit the BUG_ON.

0b1adaa031 genirq: Prevent oneshot irq thread race
Lars-Peter pointed out that the oneshot threaded interrupt handler
code has the following race:

 CPU0                            CPU1
 hande_level_irq(irq X)
   mask_ack_irq(irq X)
   handle_IRQ_event(irq X)
     wake_up(thread_handler)
                                 thread handler(irq X) runs
                                 finalize_oneshot(irq X)
				  does not unmask due to 
				  !(desc->status & IRQ_MASKED)

 return from irq
 does not unmask due to
 (desc->status & IRQ_ONESHOT)
  				  
This leaves the interrupt line masked forever. 

The reason for this is the inconsistent handling of the IRQ_MASKED
flag. Instead of setting it in the mask function the oneshot support
sets the flag after waking up the irq thread.

The solution for this is to set/clear the IRQ_MASKED status whenever
we mask/unmask an interrupt line. That's the easy part, but that
cleanup opens another race:

 CPU0                            CPU1
 hande_level_irq(irq)
   mask_ack_irq(irq)
   handle_IRQ_event(irq)
     wake_up(thread_handler)
                                 thread handler(irq) runs
                                 finalize_oneshot_irq(irq)
				  unmask(irq)
     irq triggers again
     handle_level_irq(irq)
       mask_ack_irq(irq)
     return from irq due to IRQ_INPROGRESS				  

 return from irq
 does not unmask due to
 (desc->status & IRQ_ONESHOT)

This requires that we synchronize finalize_oneshot_irq() with the
primary handler. If IRQ_INPROGESS is set we wait until the primary
handler on the other CPU has returned before unmasking the interrupt
line again.

We probably have never seen that problem because it does not happen on
UP and on SMP the irqbalancer protects us by pinning the primary
handler and the thread to the same CPU.

c530665c31 perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace events
We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers.
Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted
registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs()
which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming
we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case
task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel
thread was started.

What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs,
so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the
sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other
things.

Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that.

Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g
Before:

        perf  [kernel]                   [k] __do_softirq
               |
               --- __do_softirq
                  |
                  |--55.16%-- __open
                  |
                   --44.84%-- __write_nocancel

After:

            perf  [kernel]           [k] perf_tp_event
               |
               --- perf_tp_event
                  |
                  |--41.07%-- lock_acquire
                  |          |
                  |          |--39.36%-- _raw_spin_lock
                  |          |          |
                  |          |          |--7.81%-- hrtimer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          smp_apic_timer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          apic_timer_interrupt

The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having
right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we
want.

Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs,
let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval.

v2: Follow the rename perf_save_regs() -> perf_fetch_caller_regs()

5331d7b846 perf: Introduce new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for hot regs snapshot
Events that trigger overflows by interrupting a context can
use get_irq_regs() or task_pt_regs() to retrieve the state
when the event triggered. But this is not the case for some
other class of events like trace events as tracepoints are
executed in the same context than the code that triggered
the event.

It means we need a different api to capture the regs there,
namely we need a hot snapshot to get the most important
informations for perf: the instruction pointer to get the
event origin, the frame pointer for the callchain, the code
segment for user_mode() tests (we always use __KERNEL_CS as
trace events always occur from the kernel) and the eflags
for further purposes.

v2: rename perf_save_regs to perf_fetch_caller_regs as per
Masami's suggestion.

db2c4c7791 lockdep: Move lock events under lockdep recursion protection
There are rcu locked read side areas in the path where we submit
a trace event. And these rcu_read_(un)lock() trigger lock events,
which create recursive events.

One pair in do_perf_sw_event:

__lock_acquire
      |
      |--96.11%-- lock_acquire
      |          |
      |          |--27.21%-- do_perf_sw_event
      |          |          perf_tp_event
      |          |          |
      |          |          |--49.62%-- ftrace_profile_lock_release
      |          |          |          lock_release
      |          |          |          |
      |          |          |          |--33.85%-- _raw_spin_unlock

Another pair in perf_output_begin/end:

__lock_acquire
      |--23.40%-- perf_output_begin
      |          |          __perf_event_overflow
      |          |          perf_swevent_overflow
      |          |          perf_swevent_add
      |          |          perf_swevent_ctx_event
      |          |          do_perf_sw_event
      |          |          perf_tp_event
      |          |          |
      |          |          |--55.37%-- ftrace_profile_lock_acquire
      |          |          |          lock_acquire
      |          |          |          |
      |          |          |          |--37.31%-- _raw_spin_lock

The problem is not that much the trace recursion itself, as we have a
recursion protection already (though it's always wasteful to recurse).
But the trace events are outside the lockdep recursion protection, then
each lockdep event triggers a lock trace, which will trigger two
other lockdep events. Here the recursive lock trace event won't
be taken because of the trace recursion, so the recursion stops there
but lockdep will still analyse these new events:

To sum up, for each lockdep events we have:

	lock_*()
	     |
             trace lock_acquire
                  |
                  ----- rcu_read_lock()
                  |          |
                  |          lock_acquire()
                  |          |
                  |          trace_lock_acquire() (stopped)
                  |          |
		  |          lockdep analyze
                  |
                  ----- rcu_read_unlock()
                             |
                             lock_release
                             |
                             trace_lock_release() (stopped)
                             |
                             lockdep analyze

And you can repeat the above two times as we have two rcu read side
sections when we submit an event.

This is fixed in this patch by moving the lock trace event under
the lockdep recursion protection.

c9be0a36f9 sysdev: Pass attribute in sysdev_class attributes show/store
Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.

Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.

Similar to sysdev_attributes and normal attributes.

This is a tree-wide sweep, converting everything in one go.

No functional changes in this patch other than passing the new
argument everywhere.

Tested on x86, the non x86 parts are uncompiled.

8d9032bbe4 elf coredump: add extended numbering support
The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535.  This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have.  In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas.  (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.

This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.

This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

1fcccbac89 elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions
elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions.  This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions.  For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.

This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

9728e5d6e6 kernel/pid.c: update comment on find_task_by_pid_ns
tasklist_lock does protect the task and its pid, it can't go away.  The
problem is that find_pid_ns() itself is unsafe without rcu lock, it can
race with copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid).

Protecting copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid) with tasklist_lock would make
it possible to call find_task_by_pid_ns() under tasklist safely, but we
don't do so because we are trying to get rid of the read_lock sites of
tasklist_lock.

8aeee85a29 panic: fix panic_timeout accuracy when running on a hypervisor
I've had some complaints about panic_timeout being wildly innacurate on
shared processor PowerPC partitions (a 3 minute panic_timeout taking 30
minutes).

The problem is we loop on mdelay(1) and with a 1ms in 10ms hypervisor
timeslice each of these will take 10ms (ie 10x) longer.  I expect other
platforms with shared processor hypervisors will see the same issue.

This patch keeps the old behaviour if we have a panic_blink (only keyboard
LEDs right now) and does 1 second mdelays if we don't.

There are quite a few GFP_KERNEL memory allocations made during
suspend/hibernation and resume that may cause the system to hang, because
the I/O operations they depend on cannot be completed due to the
underlying devices being suspended.

Avoid this problem by clearing the __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS bits in
gfp_allowed_mask before suspend/hibernation and restoring the original
values of these bits in gfp_allowed_mask durig the subsequent resume.

5beb493052 mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue
The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking
workloads.  Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent
process and all its child processes.

In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous
pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million
anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one
of the 1000 processes.  However, the current rmap code needs to walk them
all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page.

This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of
1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on
the anon_vma lock.  This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark
like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of
thousands.  Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive
than AIM7, but they are catching up.

This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us
to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA.  At fork time, each child
process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be
instantiated.  The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because
non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children.

This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000
child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system.
 This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from
O(N) to 2.

The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a
VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations.  This means vma_adjust
can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures.  This in
turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions.

A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple
anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under
"the" anon_vma lock.  To prevent the rmap code from walking up an
incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag.  This bit
flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h
to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic
values for the same bitflag.

Some test results:

Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test
box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running
>99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the
pageout code.

With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users.
This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in
system time.  The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

34e55232e5 mm: avoid false sharing of mm_counter
Considering the nature of per mm stats, it's the shared object among
threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path.

This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter.  RSS value will be
counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at
events.

Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault.
Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls.

 rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows
 [before]
     4.5 cache-miss/faults
 [after]
     4.0 cache-miss/faults
 Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.

0e95017355 function-graph: Add tracing_thresh support to function_graph tracer
Add support for tracing_thresh to the function_graph tracer.  This
version of this feature isolates the checks into new entry and
return functions, to avoid adding more conditional code into the
main function_graph paths.

When the tracing_thresh is set and the function graph tracer is
enabled, only the functions that took longer than the time in
microseconds that was set in tracing_thresh are recorded. To do this
efficiently, only the function exits are recorded:

 [tracing]# echo 100 > tracing_thresh
 [tracing]# echo function_graph > current_tracer
 [tracing]# cat trace
 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS

  0) ! 126.461 us  |            } /* rcu_process_callbacks */

  0) ! 168.817 us  |      } /* irq_exit */
  0) ! 248.254 us  |    } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */

Also, add support for specifying tracing_thresh on the kernel
command line.  When used like so: "tracing_thresh=200 ftrace=function_graph"
this can be used to analyse system startup.  It is important to disable
tracing soon after boot, in order to avoid losing the trace data.

1acaa1b2d9 tracing: Update the comm field in the right variable in update_max_tr
The latency output showed:

The comm is missing in the "task:" and it looks like a minus 3 is
the output. The correct display should be:

 #    | task: migration/0-3 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99)

The problem is that the comm is being stored in the wrong data
structure. The max_tr.data[cpu] is what stores the comm, not the
tr->data[cpu].

Before this patch the max_tr.data[cpu]->comm was zeroed and the /debug/trace
ended up showing just the '-' sign followed by the pid.

Also remove a needless initialization of max_data.

a27341cd5f Prioritize synchronous signals over 'normal' signals
This makes sure that we pick the synchronous signals caused by a
processor fault over any pending regular asynchronous signals sent to
use by [t]kill().

This is not strictly required semantics, but it makes it _much_ easier
for programs like Wine that expect to find the fault information in the
signal stack.

Without this, if a non-synchronous signal gets picked first, the delayed
asynchronous signal will have its signal context pointing to the new
signal invocation, rather than the instruction that caused the SIGSEGV
or SIGBUS in the first place.

This is not all that pretty, and we're discussing making the synchronous
signals more explicit rather than have these kinds of implicit
preferences of SIGSEGV and friends.  See for example

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395

for some of the discussion.  But in the meantime this is a simple and
fairly straightforward work-around, and the whole

	if (x & Y)
		x &= Y;

thing can be compiled into (and gcc does do it) just three instructions:

	movq    %rdx, %rax
	andl    $Y, %eax
	cmovne  %rax, %rdx

so it is at least a simple solution to a subtle issue.

The iterator "leftover" variable is zeroed in the opening of the trace
file. But lseek can call s_start() which will call s_next() without
reseting the "leftover" variable back to zero, which might trigger
the WARN_ON_ONCE(iter->leftover) that is in s_next().

Aaro Koskinen reported an issue in kernel.org bugzilla #15366, where
on non-GENERIC_TIME systems, accessing
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
results in an oops.

It seems the timekeeper/clocksource rework missed initializing the
curr_clocksource value in the !GENERIC_TIME case.

The return code is -EINVAL, so it failed in the is_ram check, which is
not too surprising

> BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
>  BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009c000 (usable)
>  BIOS-e820: 000000000009c000 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)

>  BIOS-e820: 00000000cffa3900 - 00000000cffa7400 (ACPI data)

The ACPI data is not starting on a page boundary and neither does the
usable RAM area end on a page boundary. Very useful !

> ACPI: DSDT 00000000cffa3900 036CE (v01 IBM    SERLEWIS 00001000 INTL 20060912)

ACPI is trying to map DSDT at cffa3900, which results in a check
vs. cffa3000 which is the relevant page boundary. The generic is_ram
check correctly identifies that as RAM because it's in the usable
resource area. The old e820 based is_ram check does not take
overlapping resource areas into account. That's why it works.

1e259e0a99 hw-breakpoints: Remove stub unthrottle callback
We support event unthrottling in breakpoint events. It means
that if we have more than sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ,
perf will throttle, ignoring subsequent events until the next
tick.

So if ptrace exceeds this max rate, it will omit events, which
breaks the ptrace determinism that is supposed to report every
triggered breakpoints. This is likely to happen if we set
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate to 1.

This patch removes support for unthrottling in breakpoint
events to break throttling and restore ptrace determinism.

ae1f30384b tracing: Include irqflags headers from trace clock
trace_clock.c includes spinlock.h, which ends up including
asm/system.h, which in turn includes linux/irqflags.h in x86.

So the definition of raw_local_irq_save is luckily covered there,
but this is not the case in parisc:

   tip/kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:86: error: implicit declaration of function 'raw_local_irq_save'
   tip/kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:112: error: implicit declaration of function 'raw_local_irq_restore'

We need to include linux/irqflags.h directly from trace_clock.c
to avoid such build error.

44ee63587d percpu: Add __percpu sparse annotations to hw_breakpoint
Add __percpu sparse annotations to hw_breakpoint.

These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors.  This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

In kernel/hw_breakpoint.c, per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned, cpu)'s will
trigger spurious noderef related warnings from sparse.  Changing it to
&per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned[0], cpu) will work around the problem but
deemed to ugly by the maintainer.  Leave it alone until better
solution can be found.

f1c7f517a5 ftrace: Add function names to dangling } in function graph tracer
The function graph tracer is currently the most invasive tracer
in the ftrace family. It can easily overflow the buffer even with
10megs per CPU. This means that events can often be lost.

On start up, or after events are lost, if the function return is
recorded but the function enter was lost, all we get to see is the
exiting '}'.

Here is how a typical trace output starts:

 [tracing] cat trace
 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
  0) + 91.897 us   |                  }
  0) ! 567.961 us  |                }
  0)   <========== |
  0) ! 579.083 us  |                _raw_spin_lock_irqsave();
  0)   4.694 us    |                _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
  0) ! 594.862 us  |              }
  0) ! 603.361 us  |            }
  0) ! 613.574 us  |          }
  0) ! 623.554 us  |        }
  0)   3.653 us    |        fget_light();
  0)               |        sock_poll() {

There are a series of '}' with no matching "func() {". There's no information
to what functions these ending brackets belong to.

This patch adds a stack on the per cpu structure used in outputting
the function graph tracer to keep track of what function was outputted.
Then on a function exit event, it checks the depth to see if the
function exit has a matching entry event. If it does, then it only
prints the '}', otherwise it adds the function name after the '}'.

This allows function exit events to show what function they belong to
at trace output startup, when the entry was lost due to ring buffer
overflow, or even after a new task is scheduled in.

Here is what the above trace will look like after this patch:

a9c9b4429d PM / Hibernate: Fix preallocating of memory
The hibernate memory preallocation code allocates memory to push some
user space data out of physical RAM, so that the hibernation image is
not too large.  It allocates more memory than necessary for creating
the image, so it has to release some pages to make room for
allocations made while suspending devices and disabling nonboot CPUs,
or the system will hang due to the lack of free pages to allocate
from.  Unfortunately, the function used for freeing these pages,
free_unnecessary_pages(), contains a bug that prevents it from doing
the job on all systems without highmem.

Fix this problem, which is a regression from the 2.6.30 kernel, by
using the right condition for the termination of the loop in
free_unnecessary_pages().

dd5feea14a sched: Fix SCHED_MC regression caused by change in sched cpu_power
On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load
balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This
is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with
all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket
completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share
the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be
taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc.

Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are
comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's
cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled
wrt sched_group's cpu_power". While this has probably been broken for a
longer time (for multi socket numa nodes etc), the problem got aggrevated
via this recent change:

 |  Date:   Tue Sep 1 10:34:32 2009 +0200
 |
 |	sched: Restore __cpu_power to a straight sum of power
 |

Also with this change, the sched group cpu power alone no longer reflects
the group capacity that is needed to implement MC, MT performance
(default) and power-savings (user-selectable) policies.

We need to use the computed group capacity (sgs.group_capacity, that is
computed using the SD_PREFER_SIBLING logic in update_sd_lb_stats()) to
find out if the group with the max load is above its capacity and how
much load to move etc.

38331f62c2 perf_events, x86: AMD event scheduling
This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling.

NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are
identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the
Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are
counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a
counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to
those counters needs to be synchronized.

We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring
NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation
table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint
structure.

d76a0812ac perf_events: Add new start/stop PMU callbacks
In certain situations, the kernel may need to stop and start the same
event rapidly. The current PMU callbacks do not distinguish between stop
and release (i.e., stop + free the resource). Thus, a counter may be
released, then it will be immediately re-acquired. Event scheduling will
again take place with no guarantee to assign the same counter. On some
processors, this may event yield to failure to assign the event back due
to competion between cores.

This patch is adding a new pair of callback to stop and restart a counter
without actually release the underlying counter resource. On stop, the
counter is stopped, its values saved and that's it. On start, the value
is reloaded and counter is restarted (on x86, actual restart is delayed
until perf_enable()).

86c38a31aa tracing: Fix ftrace_event_call alignment for use with gcc 4.5
GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to
 use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if
 some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't
 declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes.

 For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array.
 When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events
 section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the
 structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the
 structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer.

 This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures
 to 4 bytes.

 Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with
 gcc 4.5.

 It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it
 might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that
 automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one
 of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.

3acd9eb31c rcu: Fix deadlock in TREE_PREEMPT_RCU CPU stall detection
Under TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, print_other_cpu_stall() invokes
rcu_print_task_stall() with the root rcu_node structure's ->lock
held, and rcu_print_task_stall() acquires that same lock for
self-deadlock. Fix this by removing the lock acquisition from
rcu_print_task_stall(), and making all callers acquire the lock
instead.

20133cfce7 rcu: Stop overflowing signed integers
The C standard does not specify the result of an operation that
overflows a signed integer, so such operations need to be
avoided.  This patch changes the type of several fields from
"long" to "unsigned long" and adjusts operations as needed.
ULONG_CMP_GE() and ULONG_CMP_LT() macros are introduced to do
the modular comparisons that are appropriate given that overflow
is an expected event.

8bd93a2c5d rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU
Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU
has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU
to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the
relevant grace periods to complete.  However, if all the other
CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent
state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are
considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period
is instantly complete.

This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period
machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete
quickly.  It does so a limited number of times in order to
prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass
itself to call_rcu().

However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in
dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug
noted by Lai Jiangshan).  Also, take advantage of last
grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve
Rostedt.  And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by
Frederic Weisbecker.

632ee20013 rcu: Introduce lockdep-based checking to RCU read-side primitives
Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses,
which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be
protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh,
RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any
of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to
enlist the aid of lockdep.

This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter
Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach:

o	Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched.

o	Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU.

o	Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side
	critical section.  These return exact answers if lockdep is
	fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side
	critical section.  (We want to avoid false positives!)
	The primitives are:

	For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void)

	For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void)

	For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void)

	For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp)

o	Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument
	in which one places a boolean expression based on the above
	primitives and/or lockdep_is_held().

o	A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables
	rcu_dereference_check().  This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,
	and should be quite helpful during the transition period while
	CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight.

The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but
upcoming patches will change that.

83ab0aa0d5 sched: Don't use possibly stale sched_class
setscheduler() saves task->sched_class outside of the rq->lock held
region for a check after the setscheduler changes have become
effective. That might result in checking a stale value.

rtmutex_setprio() has the same problem, though it is protected by
p->pi_lock against setscheduler(), but for correctness sake (and to
avoid bad examples) it needs to be fixed as well.

Retrieve task->sched_class inside of the rq->lock held region.

6081b6cd97 nmi_watchdog: support for oprofile
Re-arrange the code so that when someone disables nmi_watchdog
with:

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

it releases the hardware reservation on the PMUs.  This allows
the oprofile module to grab those PMUs and do its thing.
Otherwise oprofile fails to load because the hardware is
reserved by the perf_events subsystem.

Tested using:

  oprofile --vm-linux --start

and watched it failed when nmi_watchdog is enabled and succeed
when:

  oprofile --deinit && echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

is run.

Note:  this has the side quirk of having the nmi_watchdog latch
onto the software events instead of hardware events if oprofile
has already reserved the hardware first.  User beware! :-)

9000f05c6d sched: Fix SMT scheduler regression in find_busiest_queue()
Fix a SMT scheduler performance regression that is leading to a scenario
where SMT threads in one core are completely idle while both the SMT threads
in another core (on the same socket) are busy.

This is caused by this commit (with the problematic code highlighted)

   commit bdb94aa5db
   Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
   Date:   Tue Sep 1 10:34:38 2009 +0200

   sched: Try to deal with low capacity

   @@ -4203,15 +4223,18 @@ find_busiest_queue()
   ...
	for_each_cpu(i, sched_group_cpus(group)) {
   +	unsigned long power = power_of(i);

   ...

   -	wl = weighted_cpuload(i);
   +	wl = weighted_cpuload(i) * SCHED_LOAD_SCALE;
   +	wl /= power;

   -	if (rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance)
   +	if (capacity && rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance)
		continue;

On a SMT system, power of the HT logical cpu will be 589 and
the scheduler load imbalance (for scenarios like the one mentioned above)
can be approximately 1024 (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE). The above change of scaling
the weighted load with the power will result in "wl > imbalance" and
ultimately resulting in find_busiest_queue() return NULL, causing
load_balance() to think that the load is well balanced. But infact
one of the tasks can be moved to the idle core for optimal performance.

We don't need to use the weighted load (wl) scaled by the cpu power to
compare with  imabalance. In that condition, we already know there is only a
single task "rq->nr_running == 1" and the comparison between imbalance,
wl is to make sure that we select the correct priority thread which matches
imbalance. So we really need to compare the imabalnce with the original
weighted load of the cpu and not the scaled load.

But in other conditions where we want the most hammered(busiest) cpu, we can
use scaled load to ensure that we consider the cpu power in addition to the
actual load on that cpu, so that we can move the load away from the
guy that is getting most hammered with respect to the actual capacity,
as compared with the rest of the cpu's in that busiest group.

Fix it.

6f93d0a7c8 perf_events: Fix FORK events
Commit 22e19085 ("Honour event state for aux stream data")
introduced a bug where we would drop FORK events.

The thing is that we deliver FORK events to the child process'
event, which at that time will be PERF_EVENT_STATE_INACTIVE
because the child won't be scheduled in (we're in the middle of
fork).

Solve this twice, change the event state filter to exclude only
disabled (STATE_OFF) or worse, and deliver FORK events to the
current (parent).

cf454aecb3 nmi_watchdog: Fallback to software events when no hardware pmu detected
Not all arches have a PMU or have perf_event support for their
PMU.  The nmi_watchdog will fail in those cases.  Fallback to
using software events to generate nmi_watchdog traffic with
local apic interrupts.

Tested on a Pentium4 and it worked as expected, excepting for
detecting cpu lockups.

The problem with using software events as a cpu lock up detector
is the nmi_watchdog uses the logic that if local apic interrupts
stop incrementing then the cpu is probably locked up.  But with
software events we use the local apic to trigger the
nmi_watchdog callback to see if local apic interrupts are still
firing, which obviously they are otherwise we wouldn't have been
triggered.

The algorithm to detect cpu lock ups is the same as the old
nmi_watchdog. Perhaps we need to find a better way to detect
lock ups?

2225a122ae ptrace: Add support for generic PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET
Generic support for PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands which
export the regsets supported by each architecture using the correponding
NT_* types. These NT_* types are already part of the userland ABI, used
in representing the architecture specific register sets as different NOTES
in an ELF core file.

'addr' parameter for the ptrace system call encode the REGSET type (using
the corresppnding NT_* type) and the 'data' parameter points to the
struct iovec having the user buffer and the length of that buffer.

	struct iovec iov = { buf, len};
	ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid, NT_XXX_TYPE, &iov);

On successful completion, iov.len will be updated by the kernel specifying
how much the kernel has written/read to/from the user's iov.buf.

x86 extended state registers are primarily exported using this interface.

ced5b697a7 x86: Avoid race condition in pci_enable_msix()
Keep chip_data in create_irq_nr and destroy_irq.

When two drivers are setting up MSI-X at the same time via
pci_enable_msix() there is a race.  See this dmesg excerpt:

[   85.170610] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 97 for MSI/MSI-X

[   85.170646] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
at 0000000000000088

As you can see igb and ixgbe are both alternating on create_irq_nr()
via pci_enable_msix() in their probe function.

ixgbe: While looping through irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr() ixgbe
choses irq_desc_ptrs[102] and exits the loop, drops vector_lock and
calls dynamic_irq_init. Then it sets irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data =
NULL via dynamic_irq_init().

igb: Grabs the vector_lock now and starts looping over irq_desc_ptrs[]
via create_irq_nr(). It gets to irq_desc_ptrs[102] and does this:

	cfg_new = irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data;
	if (cfg_new->vector != 0)
		continue;

This hits the NULL deref.

Another possible race exists via pci_disable_msix() in a driver or in
the number of error paths that call free_msi_irqs():

destroy_irq()
dynamic_irq_cleanup() which sets desc->chip_data = NULL
...race window...
desc->chip_data = cfg;

Remove the save and restore code for cfg in create_irq_nr() and
destroy_irq() and take the desc->lock when checking the irq_cfg.

fa535a77bd sched: cpuacct: Use bigger percpu counter batch values for stats counters
When CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT are
enabled we can call cpuacct_update_stats with values much larger
than percpu_counter_batch.  This means the call to
percpu_counter_add will always add to the global count which is
protected by a spinlock and we end up with a global spinlock in
the scheduler.

Based on an idea by KOSAKI Motohiro, this patch scales the batch
value by cputime_one_jiffy such that we have the same batch
limit as we would if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING was disabled.
His patch did this once at boot but that initialisation happened
too early on PowerPC (before time_init) and it was never updated
at runtime as a result of a hotplug cpu add/remove.

This patch instead scales percpu_counter_batch by
cputime_one_jiffy at runtime, which keeps the batch correct even
after cpu hotplug operations.  We cap it at INT_MAX in case of
overflow.

For architectures that do not support
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, cputime_one_jiffy is the constant 1
and gcc is smart enough to optimise min(s32
percpu_counter_batch, INT_MAX) to just percpu_counter_batch at
least on x86 and PowerPC.  So there is no need to add an #ifdef.

On a 64 thread PowerPC box with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and
CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled, a context switch microbenchmark
is 234x faster and almost matches a CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT
disabled kernel:

 CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT disabled:   16906698 ctx switches/sec
 CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled:       61720 ctx switches/sec
 CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT + patch:	   16663217 ctx switches/sec

Tested with:

 wget http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch.c
 make context_switch
 for i in `seq 0 63`; do taskset -c $i ./context_switch & done
 vmstat 1

1fb9d6ad27 nmi_watchdog: Add new, generic implementation, using perf events
This is a new generic nmi_watchdog implementation using the perf
events infrastructure as suggested by Ingo.

The implementation is simple, just create an in-kernel perf
event and register an overflow handler to check for cpu lockups.

I created a generic implementation that lives in kernel/ and
the hardware specific part that for now lives in arch/x86.

This approach has a number of advantages:

 - It simplifies the x86 PMU implementation in the long run,
   in that it removes the hardcoded low-level PMU implementation
   that was the NMI watchdog before.

 - It allows new NMI watchdog features to be added in a central
   place.

 - It allows other architectures to enable the NMI watchdog,
   as long as they have perf events (that provide NMIs)
   implemented.

 - It also allows for more graceful co-existence of existing
   perf events apps and the NMI watchdog - before these changes
   the relationship was exclusive. (The NMI watchdog will 'spend'
   a perf event when enabled. In later iterations we might be
   able to piggyback from an existing NMI event without having
   to allocate a hardware event for the NMI watchdog - turning
   this into a no-hardware-cost feature.)

As for compatibility, we'll keep the old NMI watchdog code as
well until the new one can 100% replace it on all CPUs, old and
new alike.  That might take some time as the NMI watchdog has
been ported to many CPU models.

I have done light testing to make sure the framework works
correctly and it does.

 v2: Set the correct timeout values based on the old nmi
     watchdog

c54a42b19f clocksource: add suspend callback
Add a clocksource suspend callback.  This callback can be used by the
clocksource driver to shutdown and perform any kind of late suspend
activities even though the clocksource driver itself is a non-sysdev
driver.

One example where this is useful is to fix the sh_cmt.c platform driver
that today suspends using the platform bus and shuts down the clocksource
too early.

With this callback in place the sh_cmt driver will suspend using the
clocksource and clockevent hooks and leave the platform device pm
callbacks unused.

This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems

cd757645fb perf: Make bp_len type to u64 generic across the arch
Change 'bp_len' type to __u64 to make it work across archs as
the s390 architecture watch point length can be upto 2^64.

reference:
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/1/25/212

This is an ABI change that is not backward compatible with
the previous hardware breakpoint info layout integrated in this
development cycle, a rebuilt of perf tools is necessary for
versions based on 2.6.33-rc1 - 2.6.33-rc6 to work with a
kernel based on this patch.

59647b6ac3 futex: Handle futex value corruption gracefully
The WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state which complains about a mismatch
between pi_state->owner->pid and the pid which we retrieved from the
user space futex is completely bogus.

The code just emits the warning and then continues despite the fact
that it detected an inconsistent state of the futex. A conveniant way
for user space to spam the syslog.

Replace the WARN_ON by a consistency check. If the values do not match
return -EINVAL and let user space deal with the mess it created.

This also fixes the missing task_pid_vnr() when we compare the
pi_state->owner pid with the futex value.

51246bfd18 futex: Handle user space corruption gracefully
If the owner of a PI futex dies we fix up the pi_state and set
pi_state->owner to NULL. When a malicious or just sloppy programmed
user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling
pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new
waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on
unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses.

Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If
pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the
futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL.

This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the
futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it.

5ecb01cfdf futex_lock_pi() key refcnt fix
This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(),
where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented
only once, causing the backing object to not be released.

If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system,
this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan,
which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the
file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this,
see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>.

The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's
38d47c1b70 "[PATCH] futex: rely on
get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key()
also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its
callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning.
Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected:
the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(),
but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi().
The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31
this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'.

4f48f8b7fd tracing: Fix circular dead lock in stack trace
When we cat <debugfs>/tracing/stack_trace, we may cause circular lock:
sys_read()
  t_start()
     arch_spin_lock(&max_stack_lock);

  t_show()
     seq_printf(), vsnprintf() .... /* they are all trace-able,
       when they are traced, max_stack_lock may be required again. */

The following script can trigger this circular dead lock very easy:
#!/bin/bash

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled

mount -t debugfs xxx /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1

(
# make check_stack() zealous to require max_stack_lock
for ((; ;))
{
	echo 1 > /mnt/tracing/stack_max_size
}
) &

for ((; ;))
{
	cat /mnt/tracing/stack_trace > /dev/null
}

To fix this bug, we increase the percpu trace_active before
require the lock.

d6ad3e286d softlockup: Add sched_clock_tick() to avoid kernel warning on kgdb resume
When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, sched_clock() gets
the time from hardware such as the TSC on x86. In this
configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on
resuming or detaching from a debug session.

Sequence of events in the problem case:

 1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior
    to a call to kgdb_handle_exception()

 2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on
    exit the following is called ...  touch_softlockup_watchdog() -->
    __raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0;

 3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the
    interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec

 4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from
    kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock"

update_process_times() { ...  run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES"
here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) -->
__touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp"
to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be
set to 100s.)  ...

    scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched
    clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ...  }

 5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large
    jump and trips the softlockup warning.

update_process_times() { ...  run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" =
180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ...  }

note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to
"get_timestamp(this_cpu)"

Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec?

When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of
get_timestamp() is:

get_timestamp(this_cpu)
 -->cpu_clock(this_cpu)
 -->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu)
 -->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now)

The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to
create a window to normalize the "now" values.  So if "now"
value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored.

The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched
clock" in order to recover from this state.  This is done by
introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This
allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the
watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

5352ae638e perf, hw_breakpoint, kgdb: Do not take mutex for kernel debugger
This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the
kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw
breakpoint reservations.

The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it
can start the kernel running from an invalid context.

A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get
created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint
reservations.

The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently
processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is
improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is
warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the
hardware breakpoint reservations.

Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it
will be a system wide reservation.

cc0967490c x86, hw_breakpoints, kgdb: Fix kgdb to use hw_breakpoint API
In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the
performance event counters.  The hw_breakpoint_handler() now
consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb
arch specific code.  In order for kgdb to work in conjunction
with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level
functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and
deal with hw breakpoint reservations.

The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug
anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the
hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw
breakpoint while kgdb is active.

During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will
pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures.  Kgdb
will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw
breakpoint registers, per cpu.  Right now the hw_breakpoint API
does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available,
on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint
might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state.  The
intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of
hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the
kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what
restrictions have been imposed as a result.  Breakpoint
constraints will be dealt with in a future patch.

While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call
arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint()
to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints.

The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool
of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but
neither knows about future reservations for the available hw
breakpoint slots.

430ad5a600 perf: Factorize trace events raw sample buffer operations
Introduce ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() and ftrace_perf_buf_submit() to
gather the common code that operates on raw events sampling buffer.
This cleans up redundant code between regular trace events, syscall
events and kprobe events.

Changelog v1->v2:
- Rename function name as per Masami and Frederic's suggestion
- Add __kprobes for ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() and make
  ftrace_perf_buf_submit() inline as per Masami's suggestion
- Export ftrace_perf_buf_prepare since modules will use it

ea2c68a08f tracing: Simplify test for function_graph tracing start point
In the function graph tracer, a calling function is to be traced
only when it is enabled through the set_graph_function file,
or when it is nested in an enabled function.

Current code uses TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH to test whether it is nested
or not. Looking at the code, we can get this:
(trace->depth > 0) <==> (TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is set)

trace->depth is more explicit to tell that it is nested.
So we use trace->depth directly and simplify the code.

No functionality is changed.
TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is not removed yet, it is left for future usage.

b23ff0e933 hw_breakpoints: Release the bp slot if arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() fails.
On a given architecture, when hardware breakpoint registration fails
due to un-supported access type (read/write/execute), we lose the bp
slot since register_perf_hw_breakpoint() does not release the bp slot
on failure.
Hence, any subsequent hardware breakpoint registration starts failing
with 'no space left on device' error.

This patch introduces error handling in register_perf_hw_breakpoint()
function and releases bp slot on error.

abd5071394 perf: Reimplement frequency driven sampling
There was a bug in the old period code that caused intel_pmu_enable_all()
or native_write_msr_safe() to show up quite high in the profiles.

In staring at that code it made my head hurt, so I rewrote it in a
hopefully simpler fashion. Its now fully symetric between tick and
overflow driven adjustments and uses less data to boot.

The only complication is that it basically wants to do a u128 division.
The code approximates that in a rather simple truncate until it fits
fashion, taking care to balance the terms while truncating.

This version does not generate that sampling artefact.

"HARDIRQ-unsafe" and "this lock took another" looks wrong, afaics.

The stack-trace shows that this lock (ctrl_lock) was taken under

This is a clear typo in check_usage_backwards() where we tell the print a
fancy routine we're forwards.

If the iterator comes to an empty page for some reason, or if
the page is emptied by a consuming read. The iterator code currently

current page has been completely read and sets the iterator to the
next page if necessary.

492a74f421 ring-buffer: Check if ring buffer iterator has stale data
Usually reads of the ring buffer is performed by a single task.
There are two types of reads from the ring buffer.

One is a consuming read which will consume the entry that was read
and the next read will be the entry that follows.

The other is an iterator that will let the user read the contents of
the ring buffer without modifying it. When an iterator is allocated,
writes to the ring buffer are disabled to protect the iterator.

The problem exists when consuming reads happen while an iterator is
allocated. Specifically, the kind of read that swaps out an entire
page (used by splice) and replaces it with a new read. If the iterator
is on the page that is swapped out, then the next read may read
from this swapped out page and return garbage.

This patch adds a check when reading the iterator to make sure that
the iterator contents are still valid. If a consuming read has taken
place, the iterator is reset.

7b7422a566 clocksource: Prevent potential kgdb dead lock
commit 0f8e8ef7 (clocksource: Simplify clocksource watchdog resume
logic) introduced a potential kgdb dead lock. When the kernel is
stopped by kgdb inside code which holds watchdog_lock then kgdb dead
locks in clocksource_resume_watchdog().

clocksource_resume_watchdog() is called from kbdg via
clocksource_touch_watchdog() to avoid that the clock source watchdog
marks TSC unstable after the kernel has been stopped.

Solve this by replacing spin_lock with a spin_trylock and just return
in case the lock is held. Not resetting the watchdog might result in
TSC becoming marked unstable, but that's an acceptable penalty for
using kgdb.

The timekeeping is anyway easily screwed up by kgdb when the system
uses either jiffies or a clock source which wraps in short intervals
(e.g. pm_timer wraps about every 4.6s), so we really do not have to
worry about that occasional TSC marked unstable side effect.

The second caller of clocksource_resume_watchdog() is
clocksource_resume(). The trylock is safe here as well because the
system is UP at this point, interrupts are disabled and nothing else
can hold watchdog_lock().

74bf4076f2 tracing: Prevent kernel oops with corrupted buffer
If the contents of the ftrace ring buffer gets corrupted and the trace
file is read, it could create a kernel oops (usualy just killing the user
task thread). This is caused by the checking of the pid in the buffer.
If the pid is negative, it still references the cmdline cache array,
which could point to an invalid address.

The simple fix is to test for negative PIDs.

60db48cacb sched: Queue a deboosted task to the head of the RT prio queue
rtmutex_set_prio() is used to implement priority inheritance for
futexes. When a task is deboosted it gets enqueued at the tail of its
RT priority list. This is violating the POSIX scheduling semantics:

rt priority list X contains two runnable tasks A and B

task A	 runs with priority X and holds mutex M
task C	 preempts A and is blocked on mutex M 
     	 -> task A is boosted to priority of task C (Y)
task A	 unlocks the mutex M and deboosts itself
     	 -> A is dequeued from rt priority list Y
	 -> A is enqueued to the tail of rt priority list X
task C	 schedules away
task B	 runs

This is wrong as task A did not schedule away and therefor violates
the POSIX scheduling semantics.

Enqueue the task to the head of the priority list instead.

fabf318e5e sched: Fix fork vs hotplug vs cpuset namespaces
There are a number of issues:

1) TASK_WAKING vs cgroup_clone (cpusets)

copy_process():

  sched_fork()
    child->state = TASK_WAKING; /* waiting for wake_up_new_task() */
  if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
     ns_cgroup_clone()
       cgroup_clone()
         mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
         mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
         cgroup_attach_task()
	   ss->can_attach()
           ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
             cpuset_attach_task()
               set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
                 while (child->state == TASK_WAKING)
                   cpu_relax();
will deadlock the system.


2) cgroup_clone (cpusets) vs copy_process

So even if the above would work we still have:

copy_process():

  if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
     ns_cgroup_clone()
       cgroup_clone()
         mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
         mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
         cgroup_attach_task()
	   ss->can_attach()
           ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
             cpuset_attach_task()
               set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
  ...

  p->cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed

over-writing the modified cpus_allowed.


3) fork() vs hotplug

  if we unplug the child's cpu after the sanity check when the child
  gets attached to the task_list but before wake_up_new_task() shit
  will meet with fan.

Solve all these issues by moving fork cpu selection into
wake_up_new_task().

6d558c3ac9 sched: Reassign prev and switch_count when reacquire_kernel_lock() fail
Assume A->B schedule is processing, if B have acquired BKL before and it
need reschedule this time. Then on B's context, it will go to
need_resched_nonpreemptible for reschedule. But at this time, prev and
switch_count are related to A. It's wrong and will lead to incorrect
scheduler statistics.

ea9d8e3f45 clockevent: Don't remove broadcast device when cpu is dead
Marc reported that the BUG_ON in clockevents_notify() triggers on his
system. This happens because the kernel tries to remove an active
clock event device (used for broadcasting) from the device list.

The handling of devices which can be used as per cpu device and as a
global broadcast device is suboptimal.

The simplest solution for now (and for stable) is to check whether the
device is used as global broadcast device, but this needs to be
revisited.

[ tglx: restored the cpuweight check and massaged the changelog ]

329c0e012b perf: Better order flexible and pinned scheduling
When a task gets scheduled in. We don't touch the cpu bound events
so the priority order becomes:

	cpu pinned, cpu flexible, task pinned, task flexible.

So schedule out cpu flexibles when a new task context gets in
and correctly order the groups to schedule in:

	task pinned, cpu flexible, task flexible.

Cpu pinned groups don't need to be touched at this time.

Each time we save a function entry from the function graph
tracer, we check if the trace array is set, which is wasteful
because it is set anyway before we start the tracer. All we need
is to ensure we have good read and write orderings. When we set

64ce1037c5 kfifo: sanitize *_user error handling
Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between
a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data.  The problem
is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code.

Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter
and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value.

I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem
to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?)

I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions
correctly.

d6f962b57b perf: Export software-only event group characteristic as a flag
Before scheduling an event group, we first check if a group can go
on. We first check if the group is made of software only events
first, in which case it is enough to know if the group can be
scheduled in.

For that purpose, we iterate through the whole group, which is
wasteful as we could do this check when we add/delete an event to
a group.

So we create a group_flags field in perf event that can host
characteristics from a group of events, starting with a first
PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE flag that reduces the check on the fast path.

889ff01506 perf/core: Split context's event group list into pinned and non-pinned lists
Split-up struct perf_event_context::group_list into pinned_groups
and flexible_groups (non-pinned).

This first appears to be useless as it duplicates various loops around
the group list handlings.

But it scales better in the fast-path in perf_sched_in(). We don't
anymore iterate twice through the entire list to separate pinned and
non-pinned scheduling. Instead we interate through two distinct lists.

The another desired effect is that it makes easier to define distinct
scheduling rules on both.

Changes in v2:
- Respectively rename pinned_grp_list and
  volatile_grp_list into pinned_groups and flexible_groups as per
  Ingo suggestion.
- Various cleanups

7485d0d375 futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()
Currently, futexes have two problem:

A) The current futex code doesn't handle private file mappings properly.

get_futex_key() uses PageAnon() to distinguish file and
anon, which can cause the following bad scenario:

  1) thread-A call futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAIT), it
     sleeps on file mapping object.
  2) thread-B writes a variable and it makes it cow.
  3) thread-B calls futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAKE), it
     wakes up blocked thread on the anonymous page. (but it's nothing)

B) Current futex code doesn't handle zero page properly.

Read mode get_user_pages() can return zero page, but current
futex code doesn't handle it at all. Then, zero page makes
infinite loop internally.

The solution is to use write mode get_user_page() always for
page lookup. It prevents the lookup of both file page of private
mappings and zero page.

Performance concerns:

Probaly very little, because glibc always initialize variables
for futex before to call futex(). It means glibc users never see
the overhead of this patch.

Compatibility concerns:

This patch has few compatibility issues. After this patch,
FUTEX_WAIT require writable access to futex variables (read-only
mappings makes EFAULT). But practically it's not a problem,
glibc always initalizes variables for futexes explicitly - nobody
uses read-only mappings.

b6407e8639 rcu: Give different levels of the rcu_node hierarchy distinct lockdep names
Previously, each level of the rcu_node hierarchy had the same
rather unimaginative name: "&rcu_node_class[i]".  This makes
lockdep diagnostics involving these lockdep classes less helpful
than would be nice. This patch fixes this by giving each level
of the rcu_node hierarchy a distinct name: "rcu_node_level_0",
"rcu_node_level_1", and so on. This version of the patch
includes improved diagnostics suggested by Josh Triplett and
Peter Zijlstra.

cba8244a0f rcu: Add debug check for too many rcu_read_unlock()
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU maintains an rcu_read_lock_nesting counter in
the task structure, which happens to be a signed int.  So this
patch adds a check for this counter being negative at the end of
__rcu_read_unlock(). This check is under CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,

46a1e34eda rcu: Make force_quiescent_state() start grace period if needed
Grace periods cannot be started while force_quiescent_state() is
active.  This is OK in that the affected CPUs will try again
later, but it does induce needless grace-period delays.  This
patch causes rcu_start_gp() to record a failed attempt to start
a grace period. When force_quiescent_state() prepares to return,
it then starts the grace period if there was such a failed
attempt.

45f014c52e rcu: Remove redundant grace-period check
The rcu_process_dyntick() function checks twice for the end of
the current grace period.  However, it holds the current
rcu_node structure's ->lock field throughout, and doesn't get to
the second call to rcu_gp_in_progress() unless there is at least
one CPU corresponding to this rcu_node structure that has not
yet checked in for the current grace period, which would prevent
the current grace period from ending. So the current grace
period cannot have ended, and the second check is redundant, so
remove it.

Also, given that this function is used even with !CONFIG_NO_HZ,
its name is quite misleading.  Change from rcu_process_dyntick()
to force_qs_rnp().

ee47eb9f4d rcu: Remove leg of force_quiescent_state() switch statement
The comparisons of rsp->gpnum nad rsp->completed in
rcu_process_dyntick() and force_quiescent_state() can be
replaced by the much more clear rcu_gp_in_progress() predicate
function.  After doing this, it becomes clear that the
RCU_SAVE_COMPLETED leg of the force_quiescent_state() function's
switch statement is almost completely a no-op.  A small change
to the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg renders it a complete no-op, after
which it can be removed.  Doing so also eliminates the forcenow
local variable from force_quiescent_state().

0f10dc8266 rcu: Eliminate rcu_process_dyntick() return value
Because a new grace period cannot start while we are executing
within the force_quiescent_state() function's switch statement,
if any test within that switch statement or within any function
called from that switch statement shows that the current grace
period has ended, we can safely re-do that test any time before
we leave the switch statement.  This means that we no longer
need a return value from rcu_process_dyntick(), as we can simply
invoke rcu_gp_in_progress() to check whether the old grace
period has finished -- there is no longer any need to worry
about whether or not a new grace period has been started.

07079d5357 rcu: Prohibit starting new grace periods while forcing quiescent states
Reduce the number and variety of race conditions by prohibiting
the start of a new grace period while force_quiescent_state() is
active. A new fqs_active flag in the rcu_state structure is used
to trace whether or not force_quiescent_state() is active, and
this new flag is tested by rcu_start_gp().  If the CPU that
closed out the last grace period needs another grace period,
this new grace period may be delayed up to one scheduling-clock
tick, but it will eventually get started.

b45c6e76bc kernel/signal.c: fix kernel information leak with print-fatal-signals=1
When print-fatal-signals is enabled it's possible to dump any memory
reachable by the kernel to the log by simply jumping to that address from
user space.

Or crash the system if there's some hardware with read side effects.

The fatal signals handler will dump 16 bytes at the execution address,
which is fully controlled by ring 3.

In addition when something jumps to a unmapped address there will be up to
16 additional useless page faults, which might be potentially slow (and at
least is not very efficient)

Fortunately this option is off by default and only there on i386.

But fix it by checking for kernel addresses and also stopping when there's
a page fault.

bd4f490a07 cgroups: fix 2.6.32 regression causing BUG_ON() in cgroup_diput()
The LTP cgroup test suite generates a "kernel BUG at kernel/cgroup.c:790!"
here in cgroup_diput():

                 /*
                  * if we're getting rid of the cgroup, refcount should ensure
                  * that there are no pidlists left.
                  */
                 BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cgrp->pidlists));

The cgroup pidlist rework in 2.6.32 generates the BUG_ON, which is caused
when pidlist_array_load() calls cgroup_pidlist_find():

(1) if a matching cgroup_pidlist is found, it down_write's the mutex of the
     pre-existing cgroup_pidlist, and increments its use_count.
(2) if no matching cgroup_pidlist is found, then a new one is allocated, it
     down_write's its mutex, and the use_count is set to 0.
(3) the matching, or new, cgroup_pidlist gets returned back to pidlist_array_load(),
     which increments its use_count -- regardless whether new or pre-existing --
     and up_write's the mutex.

So if a matching list is ever encountered by cgroup_pidlist_find() during
the life of a cgroup directory, it results in an inflated use_count value,
preventing it from ever getting released by cgroup_release_pid_array().
Then if the directory is subsequently removed, cgroup_diput() hits the
BUG_ON() when it finds that the directory's cgroup is still populated with
a pidlist.

The patch simply removes the use_count increment when a matching pidlist
is found by cgroup_pidlist_find(), because it gets bumped by the calling
pidlist_array_load() function while still protected by the list's mutex.

8767ba2796 kmod: fix resource leak in call_usermodehelper_pipe()
Fix resource (write-pipe file) leak in call_usermodehelper_pipe().

When call_usermodehelper_exec() fails, write-pipe file is opened and
call_usermodehelper_pipe() just returns an error.  Since it is hard for
caller to determine whether the error occured when opening the pipe or
executing the helper, the caller cannot close the pipe by themselves.

I've found this resoruce leak when testing coredump.  You can check how
the resource leaks as below;

$ echo "|nocommand" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ while [ 1 ]; do ./segv; done &> /dev/null &
$ cat /proc/meminfo (<- repeat it)

where segv.c is;
//-----
int main () {
        char *p = 0;
        *p = 1;
}
//-----

This patch closes write-pipe file if call_usermodehelper_exec() failed.

0e1ff5d72a ring-buffer: Add rb_list_head() wrapper around new reader page next field
If the very unlikely case happens where the writer moves the head by one
between where the head page is read and where the new reader page
is assigned _and_ the writer then writes and wraps the entire ring buffer
so that the head page is back to what was originally read as the head page,
the page to be swapped will have a corrupted next pointer.

Simple solution is to wrap the assignment of the next pointer with a
rb_list_head().

5ded3dc6a3 ring-buffer: Wrap a list.next reference with rb_list_head()
This reference at the end of rb_get_reader_page() was causing off-by-one
writes to the prev pointer of the page after the reader page when that
page is the head page, and therefore the reader page has the RB_PAGE_HEAD
flag in its list.next pointer. This eventually results in a GPF in a
subsequent call to rb_set_head_page() (usually from rb_get_reader_page())
when that prev pointer is dereferenced. The dereferenced register would
characteristically have an address that appears shifted left by one byte
(eg, ffxxxxxxxxxxxxyy instead of ffffxxxxxxxxxxxx) due to being written at
an address one byte too high.

7e53bd42d1 tracing: Consolidate protection of reader access to the ring buffer
At the beginning, access to the ring buffer was fully serialized
by trace_types_lock. Patch d7350c3f45 gives more freedom to readers,
and patch b04cc6b1f6 adds code to protect trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe.

But actually it is not enough, ring buffer readers are not always
read-only, they may consume data.

This patch makes accesses to trace, trace_pipe, trace_pipe_raw
cpu#/trace, cpu#/trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe_raw serialized.
And removes tracing_reader_cpumask which is used to protect trace_pipe.

Details:

Ring buffer serializes readers, but it is low level protection.
The validity of the events (which returns by ring_buffer_peek() ..etc)
are not protected by ring buffer.

The content of events may become garbage if we allow another process to consume
these events concurrently:
  A) the page of the consumed events may become a normal page
     (not reader page) in ring buffer, and this page will be rewritten
     by the events producer.
  B) The page of the consumed events may become a page for splice_read,
     and this page will be returned to system.

This patch adds trace_access_lock() and trace_access_unlock() primitives.

These primitives allow multi process access to different cpu ring buffers
concurrently.

These primitives don't distinguish read-only and read-consume access.
Multi read-only access is also serialized.

And we don't use these primitives when we open files,
we only use them when we read files.

0fa0edaf32 tracing: Remove show_format and related macros from TRACE_EVENT
The previous patches added the use of print_fmt string and changes
the trace_define_field() function to also create the fields and
format output for the event format files.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
5857201	1355780	9336808	16549789	 fc879d	vmlinux
5884589	1351684	9337896	16574169	 fce6d9	vmlinux-orig

The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set
compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set.

This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data.

The total savings of 24k in size.

5a65e95622 tracing: Use defined fields and print_fmt to print formats
The calls ftrace_format_##call() and ftrace_define_fields_##call()
are almost duplicate in functionality. With the addition of the
print_fmt in previous patches, these two functions can be merged
into one.

The trace_define_field() defines the fields and links them into
the struct ftrace_event_call. The previous patches introduced
the print_fmt field and this can now be used with the trace_define_field()
to create the event format file fields and print_fmt field.

The struct ftrace_event_call->fields are used to print the fields
The struct ftrace_event_call->print_fmt is used to print
the "print fmt: XXXXXXXXXXX" line.

c7ef3a9004 tracing: Have syscall tracing call its own init function
In the clean up of having all events call one specific function,
the syscall event init was changed to call this helper function.

With the new print_fmt updates, the syscalls need to do special
initializations. This patch converts the syscall events to call
its own init function again.

Commit 35dead4 "modules: don't export section names of empty sections
via sysfs" changed the set of sections that have attributes, but did
not change the iteration over these attributes in add_notes_attrs().
This can lead to add_notes_attrs() creating attributes with the wrong
names or with null name pointers.

Introduce a sect_empty() function and use it in both add_sect_attrs()
and add_notes_attrs().

e1783a240f module: Use this_cpu_xx to dynamically allocate counters
Use cpu ops to deal with the per cpu data instead of a local_t. Reduces memory
requirements, cache footprint and decreases cycle counts.

The this_cpu_xx operations are also used for !SMP mode. Otherwise we could
not drop the use of __module_ref_addr() which would make per cpu data handling
complicated. this_cpu_xx operations have their own fallback for !SMP.

V8-V9:
- Leave include asm/module.h since ringbuffer.c depends on it. Nothing else
  does though. Another patch will deal with that.
- Remove spurious free.

crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if
panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored
for this case.

This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called
when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps,
the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The
mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the
same way as a panic.

Liming found a NULL deref when a task has a perf context but no

This can occur in two cases, a race during construction where
the fork hits after installing the context but before the first
counter gets inserted, or more reproducably, a fork after the
last counter is closed (which leaves the context around).

4440095c82 SYSCTL: Print binary sysctl warnings (nearly) only once
When printing legacy sysctls print the warning message
for each of them only once.  This way there is a guarantee
the syslog won't be flooded for any sane program.

The original attempt at this made the tables non const and stored
the flag inline.

Linus suggested using a separate hash table for this, this is based on a
code snippet from him.

The hash implies this is not exact and can sometimes not print a
new sysctl due to a hash collision, but in practice this should not
be a problem

I used a FNV32 hash over the binary string with a 32byte bitmap. This
gives relatively little collisions when all the predefined binary sysctls
are hashed:

size 256
bucket
length      number
0:          [25]
1:          [67]
2:          [88]
3:          [47]
4:          [22]
5:          [6]
6:          [1]

The worst case is a single collision of 6 hash values.

Effectively reverts 738d2be430.

As demonstrated by Eric, we really need to call __set_task_cpu()
early in the fork() path to properly initialize the various task
state -- specifically the cgroup state through set_task_rq().

[ we could probably fix this by explicitly calling
  __set_task_cpu() from   sched_fork(), but lets try that for the
  next cycle and simply revert to the old behaviour for now. ]

c1e13f2567 kfifo: move out spinlock
Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo.  Most users in
tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to
call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a
spinlock.

4546548789 kfifo: move struct kfifo in place
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.

The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains.  Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.

I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:

 - The API is to simple, important functions are missing
 - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
 - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
 - There is no support for data records inside a fifo

So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much.  The new API has the following benefits:

 - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
 - Provide an API for the most use case.
 - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
 - Linux style habit.
 - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
 - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
 - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
   indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
 - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
   which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
 - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
   one is required.
 - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
   - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
     field of 1 bytes.
   - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
     field of 2 bytes.
   - Fixed size records, which no record size field.
 - Preserve memory resource.
 - Performance!
 - Easy to use!

This patch:

Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure.  This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them.  This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

83f57a11d8 Revert "time: Remove xtime_cache"
This reverts commit 7bc7d63745, as
requested by John Stultz. Quoting John:

 "Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with
  2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the
  nanoseconds field.

  He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled
  overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the
  sub-nanosecond accumulated time.

  Details:

   * At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the
  sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime.
  This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the
  sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime.
  Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by
  that rounding.

   * Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the
  xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache.

   * We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but
  since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further
  complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp
  steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is
  known to work.

   * The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the
  timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during
  accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code.
  Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three
  non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted  (those
  patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime
  directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the
  xtime_cache change is the best approach for now.

  Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"

To keep the resource untouched when allocate_resource() fails,

6f5d511489 fix braindamage in audit_tree.c untag_chunk()
... aka "Al had badly fscked up when writing that thing and nobody
noticed until Eric had fixed leaks that used to mask the breakage".

The function essentially creates a copy of old array sans one element
and replaces the references to elements of original (they are on cyclic
lists) with those to corresponding elements of new one.  After that the
old one is fair game for freeing.

First of all, there's a dumb braino: when we get to list_replace_init we
use indices for wrong arrays - position in new one with the old array
and vice versa.

Another bug is more subtle - termination condition is wrong if the
element to be excluded happens to be the last one.  We shouldn't go
until we fill the new array, we should go until we'd finished the old
one.  Otherwise the element we are trying to kill will remain on the
cyclic lists...

That crap used to be masked by several leaks, so it was not quite
trivial to hit.  Eric had fixed some of those leaks a while ago and the
shit had hit the fan...

9cd80bbb07 do_wait() optimization: do not place sub-threads on task_struct->children list
Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues.

Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list.  This buys
nothing but slows down do_wait().

With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders).
The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over
sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it
changes ->group_leader.

Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD
tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and
ptrace_do_wait()).

This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(),
but this is fixable and minor.

Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they
should be fixed in any case.

61c1917f47 perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optional
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.

But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

234da7bcdc sched: Teach might_sleep() about preemptible RCU
In practice, it is harmless to voluntarily sleep in a
rcu_read_lock() section if we are running under preempt rcu, but
it is illegal if we build a kernel running non-preemptable rcu.

Currently, might_sleep() doesn't notice sleepable operations
under rcu_read_lock() sections if we are running under
preemptable rcu because preempt_count() is left untouched after
rcu_read_lock() in this case. But we want developers who test
their changes under such config to notice the "sleeping while
atomic" issues.

So we add rcu_read_lock_nesting to prempt_count() in
might_sleep() checks.

6f3cf44047 kprobe-tracer: Check new event/group name
Check new event/group name is same syntax as a C symbol. In other
words, checking the name is as like as other tracepoint events.

This can prevent user to create an event with useless name (e.g.
foo|bar, foo*bar).

88ec22d3ed sched: Remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu()
In order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we
need to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites.

The simple approach is to substract cfs_rq->min_vruntime from
se->vruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq->min_vruntime on
enqueue.

However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since
we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative
position.

To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks,
we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and
activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the
min_vruntime invariance to that state.

The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to
maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue,
but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right
before we activate it again.

This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call
this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into
->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and
would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a
fudge.

This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork()
leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state.

This covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and
ensures it sees a relative vruntime.

e2912009fb sched: Ensure set_task_cpu() is never called on blocked tasks
In order to clean up the set_task_cpu() rq dependencies we need
to ensure it is never called on blocked tasks because such usage
does not pair with consistent rq->lock usage.

This puts the migration burden on ttwu().

Furthermore we need to close a race against changing
->cpus_allowed, since select_task_rq() runs with only preemption
disabled.

For sched_fork() this is safe because the child isn't in the
tasklist yet, for wakeup we fix this by synchronizing
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() against TASK_WAKING, which leaves
sched_exec to be a problem

This also closes a hole in (6ad4c1888 sched: Fix balance vs
hotplug race) where ->select_task_rq() doesn't validate the
result against the sched_domain/root_domain.

The problem is that we fail to re-activate a cpu when a

Remove the synchronize_sched() calls and rely on those implied

f4c4176f21 perf events: Allow per-task-per-cpu counters
In order to allow for per-task-per-cpu counters, useful for
scalability when profiling task hierarchies, we allow installing
events with event->cpu != -1 in task contexts.

__perf_event_sched_in() already skips events where ->cpu
mis-matches the current cpu, fix up __perf_install_in_context()
and __perf_event_enable() to also respect this filter.

This does lead to vary hard to interpret enabled/running times
for such counters, but I don't see a simple solution for that.

dd34200adc signals: send_signal: use si_fromuser() to detect from_ancestor_ns
Change send_signal() to use si_fromuser().  From now SEND_SIG_NOINFO
triggers the "from_ancestor_ns" check.

This fixes reparent_thread()->group_send_sig_info(pdeath_signal)
behaviour, before this patch send_signal() does not detect the
cross-namespace case when the child of the dying parent belongs to the
sub-namespace.

This patch can affect the behaviour of send_sig(), kill_pgrp() and
kill_pid() when the caller sends the signal to the sub-namespace with
"priv == 0" but surprisingly all callers seem to use them correctly,
including disassociate_ctty(on_exit).

Except: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/addi-data/*.c incorrectly use
send_sig(priv => 0).  But his is minor and should be fixed anyway.

No changes in compiled code. The patch adds the new helper, si_fromuser()
and changes check_kill_permission() to use this helper.

The real effect of this patch is that from now we "officially" consider
SEND_SIG_NOINFO signal as "from user-space" signals. This is already true
if we look at the code which uses SEND_SIG_NOINFO, except __send_signal()

The naming of these special SEND_SIG_XXX siginfo's is really bad
imho.  From __send_signal()'s pov they mean

	SEND_SIG_NOINFO		from user
	SEND_SIG_PRIV		from kernel
	SEND_SIG_FORCED		no info

6580807da1 ptrace: copy_process() should disable stepping
If the tracee calls fork() after PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, the forked child
starts with TIF_SINGLESTEP/X86_EFLAGS_TF bits copied from ptraced parent.
This is not right, especially when the new child is not auto-attaced: in
this case it is killed by SIGTRAP.

Change copy_process() to call user_disable_single_step(). Tested on x86.

Test-case:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <assert.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		if (!(pid = fork())) {
			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) == 0);
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);

			if (!fork()) {
				/* kernel bug: this child will be killed by SIGTRAP */
				printf("Hello world\n");
				return 43;
			}

			wait(&status);
			return WEXITSTATUS(status);
		}

		for (;;) {
			assert(pid == wait(&status));
			if (WIFEXITED(status))
				break;
			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		}

		assert(WEXITSTATUS(status) == 43);
		return 0;

569b846df5 memcg: coalesce uncharge during unmap/truncate
In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance
bottleneck.  One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing
calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one.

Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,
	- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.
	- uncharge is done by
		- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...
		- one by one via vmscan/paging.

It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability
at unmap/truncation.

This patch is a for coalescing uncharge.  For avoiding scattering memcg's
structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge
information to the task.  A reason for per-task batching is for making use
of caller's context information.  We do batched uncharge (deleyed
uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when
uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c).

The degree of coalescing depends on callers
  - at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size
  - at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE
(memory itself will be freed in this degree.)
Then, we'll not coalescing too much.

On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by
running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running
a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults
in 60secs.

[without memcg config]
  40156968  page-faults              #      0.085 M/sec   ( +-   0.046% )
  27.67 cache-miss/faults
[root cgroup]
  36659599  page-faults              #      0.077 M/sec   ( +-   0.247% )
  31.58 miss/faults
[in a child cgroup]
  18444157  page-faults              #      0.039 M/sec   ( +-   0.133% )
  69.96 miss/faults
[child with this patch]
  27133719  page-faults              #      0.057 M/sec   ( +-   0.155% )
  47.16 miss/faults

We can see some amounts of improvement.
(root cgroup doesn't affected by this patch)
Another patch for "charge" will follow this and above will be improved more.

Changelog(since 2009/10/02):
 - renamed filed of memcg_batch (as pages to bytes, memsw to memsw_bytes)
 - some clean up and commentary/description updates.
 - added initialize code to copy_process(). (possible bug fix)

Changelog(old):
 - fixed !CONFIG_MEM_CGROUP case.
 - rebased onto the latest mmotm + softlimit fix patches.
 - unified patch for callers
 - added commetns.
 - make ->do_batch as bool.
 - removed css_get() at el. We don't need it.

e7d2860b69 tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function
Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

5ada918b82 vt: introduce and use vt_kmsg_redirect() function
The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to
redirect the kernel messages to a specific console.

However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console
after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic
message on the current console.

This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect
variable by a function to be able to use it in code where
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c).

This patch:

Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a
function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where
messages are printed.

Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c)
to the new interface.

The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

setting max_map_count to a value large enough results in programs dying at

15:59 borg:/proc/sys/vm # echo $[1<<31] >max_map_count
15:59 borg:/proc/sys/vm # cat max_map_count
Killed

This is because we have a chance to make 'max_map_count' negative.  but
it's meaningless.  Make it only accept non-negative values.

06808b0827 hugetlb: derive huge pages nodes allowed from task mempolicy
This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of
the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the
allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page
count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute
"nr_hugepages_mempolicy".  The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows:

* For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer
  is produced.  This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use
  node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed".  This preserves the
  behavior before this patch.
* For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation,
  a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced.
  "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the
  task adjusting nr_hugepages.
* For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask
  will be used.
* Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node
  mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored.  That is, all modes
  behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask
  with no "fallback".

See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information
about the implications of this patch.

Examples:

Starting with:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     0
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     0
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:     0
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     0

Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent
hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]:

	sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32

yields:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     8

Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch,
but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the
same as nr_hugepages.

Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a.
'--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified
and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on
individual nodes or sets of nodes.  So, starting from the
condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to
node 2 using:

	numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40

This yields:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:    16
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     8

The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the
specified mempolicy.

Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages
from specified nodes:

	numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32

yields:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     4
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     4
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:    16
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     8

The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

0f624e7e56 perf_event: Fix incorrect range check on cpu number
It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning
that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is
greater than the total count of possible CPUs.

Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu
number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus().  This
test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the
cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated.

This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against
nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to
ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset()
subsequently.

b9f8fcd55b sched: Fix cpu_clock() in NMIs, on !CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
Relax stable-sched-clock architectures to not save/disable/restore
hardirqs in cpu_clock().

The background is that I was trying to resolve a sparc64 perf
issue when I discovered this problem.

On sparc64 I implement pseudo NMIs by simply running the kernel
at IRQ level 14 when local_irq_disable() is called, this allows
performance counter events to still come in at IRQ level 15.

This doesn't work if any code in an NMI handler does
local_irq_save() or local_irq_disable() since the "disable" will
kick us back to cpu IRQ level 14 thus letting NMIs back in and
we recurse.

The only path which that does that in the perf event IRQ
handling path is the code supporting frequency based events.  It
uses cpu_clock().

cpu_clock() simply invokes sched_clock() with IRQs disabled.

And that's a fundamental bug all on it's own, particularly for
the HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK case.  NMIs can thus get into the
sched_clock() code interrupting the local IRQ disable code
sections of it.

Furthermore, for the not-HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK case, the IRQ
disabling done by cpu_clock() is just pure overhead and
completely unnecessary.

So the core problem is that sched_clock() is not NMI safe, but
we are invoking it from NMI contexts in the perf events code
(via cpu_clock()).

A less important issue is the overhead of IRQ disabling when it
isn't necessary in cpu_clock().

CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK architectures are not
affected by this patch.

9828ea9d75 locking: Further name space cleanups
The name space hierarchy for the internal lock functions is now a bit
backwards. raw_spin* functions map to _spin* which use __spin*, while
we would like to have _raw_spin* and __raw_spin*.

_raw_spin* is already used by lock debugging, so rename those funtions
to do_raw_spin* to free up the _raw_spin* name space.

c2f21ce2e3 locking: Implement new raw_spinlock
Now that the raw_spin name space is freed up, we can implement
raw_spinlock and the related functions which are used to annotate the
locks which are not converted to sleeping spinlocks in preempt-rt.

A side effect is that only such locks can be used with the low level
lock fsunctions which circumvent lockdep.

For !rt spin_* functions are mapped to the raw_spin* implementations.

445c89514b locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock
The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever

use different raw_init callbacks. Though it's possible to totally
remove raw_init, I choose to leave it as it is for now.

cc51a0fca6 tracing: Add stack trace to irqsoff tracer
The irqsoff and friends tracers help in finding causes of latency in the
kernel. The also work with the function tracer to show what was happening
when interrupts or preemption are disabled. But the function tracer has
a bit of an overhead and can cause exagerated readings.

Currently, when tracing with /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled = 0, where the
function tracer is disabled, the information that is provided can end up
being useless. For example, a 2 and a half millisecond latency only showed:

 # tracer: preemptirqsoff
 #
 # preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.32
 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
 # latency: 2463 us, #4/4, CPU#2 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4)

 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue

The above lets us know that hackbench with pid 2463 grabbed a spin lock
somewhere and enabled preemption at remove_wait_queue. This helps a little
but where this actually happened is not informative.

This patch adds the stack dump to the end of the irqsoff tracer. This provides
the following output:

 hackbenc-4242    2d....    0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue

  => _spin_unlock_irqrestore
  => remove_wait_queue
  => free_poll_entry
  => poll_freewait
  => do_sys_poll
  => sys_poll
  => system_call_fastpath

Now we see that the culprit of this latency was the free_poll_entry code.

03889384ce tracing: Add trace_dump_stack()
I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling
some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing
and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is
calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling
that function and entering a specific if conditional.

I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for
this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized
that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk().

Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it
writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations.

For example:

@@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible:
 	if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) {
 		if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev)))
 			prev->state = TASK_RUNNING;
-		else
+		else {
 			deactivate_task(rq, prev, 1);
+			trace_printk("Deactivating task %s:%d\n",
+				     prev->comm, prev->pid);
+			trace_dump_stack();
+		}
 		switch_count = &prev->nvcsw;
 	}

Produces:

7f8b7ed6f8 kgdb: Always process the whole breakpoint list on activate or deactivate
This patch fixes 2 edge cases in using kgdb in conjunction with gdb.

1) kgdb_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in breakpoints that you
   cannot remove, because a break point can only be removed if its
   state flag is set to BP_SET.

   The easy way to duplicate this problem is to plant a break point in
   a kernel module and then unload the kernel module.

2) kgdb_activate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in missed breakpoints
   when a breakpoint cannot be activated.

d625e9c0d7 kgdb: continue and warn on signal passing from gdb
On some architectures for the segv trap, gdb wants to pass the signal
back on continue.  For kgdb this is not the default behavior, because
it can cause the kernel to crash if you arbitrarily pass back a
exception outside of kgdb.

Instead of causing instability, pass a message back to gdb about the
supported kgdb signal passing and execute a standard kgdb continue
operation.

028e7b1759 kgdb: allow for cpu switch when single stepping
The kgdb core should not assume that a single step operation of a
kernel thread will complete on the same CPU.  The single step flag is
set at the "thread" level and it is possible in a multi cpu system
that a kernel thread can get scheduled on another cpu the next time it
is run.

As a further safety net in case a slave cpu is hung, the debug master
cpu will try 100 times before giving up and assuming control of the
slave cpus is no longer possible.  It is more useful to be able to get
some information out of kgdb instead of spinning forever.

bb6eddf767 clockevents: Prevent clockevent_devices list corruption on cpu hotplug
Xiaotian Feng triggered a list corruption in the clock events list on
CPU hotplug and debugged the root cause.

If a CPU registers more than one per cpu clock event device, then only
the active clock event device is removed on CPU_DEAD. The unused
devices are kept in the clock events device list.

On CPU up the clock event devices are registered again, which means
that we list_add an already enqueued list_head. That results in list
corruption.

Resolve this by removing all devices which are associated to the dead
CPU on CPU_DEAD.

dd7f594357 ring-buffer: Move resize integrity check under reader lock
While using an application that does splice on the ftrace ring
buffer at start up, I triggered an integrity check failure.

Looking into this, I discovered that resizing the buffer performs
an integrity check after the buffer is resized. This check unfortunately
is preformed after it releases the reader lock. If a reader is
reading the buffer it may cause the integrity check to trigger a
false failure.

This patch simply moves the integrity checker under the protection
of the ring buffer reader lock.

184210154b ring-buffer: Use sync sched protection on ring buffer resizing
There was a comment in the ring buffer code that says the calling
layers should prevent tracing or reading of the ring buffer while
resizing. I have discovered that the tracers do not honor this
arrangement.

This patch moves the disabling and synchronizing the ring buffer to
a higher layer during resizing. This guarantees that no writes
are occurring while the resize takes place.

d4581a239a sys: Fix missing rcu protection for __task_cred() access
commit c69e8d9 (CRED: Use RCU to access another task's creds and to
release a task's own creds) added non rcu_read_lock() protected access
to task creds of the target task in set_prio_one().

The comment above the function says:
 * - the caller must hold the RCU read lock

The calling code in sys_setpriority does read_lock(&tasklist_lock) but
not rcu_read_lock(). This works only when CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=n.
With CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y the rcu_callbacks can run in the tick
interrupt when they see no read side critical section.

There is another instance of __task_cred() in sys_setpriority() itself
which is equally unprotected.

Wrap the whole code section into a rcu read side critical section to
fix this quick and dirty.

Will be revisited in course of the read_lock(&tasklist_lock) -> rcu
crusade.

Oleg noted further:

This also fixes another bug here. find_task_by_vpid() is not safe
without rcu_read_lock(). I do not mean it is not safe to use the
result, just find_pid_ns() by itself is not safe.

Usually tasklist gives enough protection, but if copy_process() fails
it calls free_pid() lockless and does call_rcu(delayed_put_pid().
This means, without rcu lock find_pid_ns() can't scan the hash table
safely.

41d2e49493 hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logic
The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the
execution time of the hrtimer callbacks.

This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be
scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks
themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in
the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the
system unusable.

Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the
interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that
fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the
next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things
which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms.

The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler
are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list

Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

86fc80f16e capabilities: Use RCU to protect task lookup in sys_capget
cap_get_target_pid() protects the task lookup with tasklist_lock.
security_capget() is called under tasklist_lock as well but
tasklist_lock does not protect anything there. The capabilities are
protected by RCU already.

So tasklist_lock only protects the lookup and prevents the task going
away, which can be done with rcu_read_lock() as well.

  Comparing a va_list with NULL is bogus. It's supposed to be treated like

Olof noticed that this code broke the ARM builds:

be1eca3931 tracing: Fix function graph trace_pipe to properly display failed entries
There is a case where the graph tracer might get confused and omits
displaying of a single record.  This applies mostly with the trace_pipe
since it is unlikely that the trace_seq buffer will overflow with the
trace file.

As the function_graph tracer goes through the trace entries keeping a
pointer to the current record:

current ->  func1 ENTRY
            func2 ENTRY
            func2 RETURN
            func1 RETURN

When an function ENTRY is encountered, it moves the pointer to the
next entry to check if the function is a nested or leaf function.

            func1 ENTRY
current ->  func2 ENTRY
            func2 RETURN
            func1 RETURN

If the rest of the writing of the function fills the trace_seq buffer,
then the trace_pipe read will ignore this entry. The next read will
Now start at the current location, but the first entry (func1) will
be discarded.

This patch keeps a copy of the current entry in the iterator private
storage and will keep track of when the trace_seq buffer fills. When
the trace_seq buffer fills, it will reuse the copy of the entry in the
next iteration.

[
  This patch has been largely modified by Steven Rostedt in order to
  clean it up and simplify it. The original idea and concept was from
  Jirka and for that, this patch will go under his name to give him
  the credit he deserves. But because this was modify by Steven Rostedt
  anything wrong with the patch should be blamed on Steven.

d184b31c0e tracing: Add full state to trace_seq
The trace_seq buffer might fill up, and right now one needs to check the
return value of each printf into the buffer to check for that.

Instead, have the buffer keep track of whether it is full or not, and
reject more input if it is full or would have overflowed with an input
that wasn't added.

a63ce5b306 tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled buffer
If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next
itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the
function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to
determine leaf functions.

What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function
graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return
of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the
function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer
iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start
entry).

The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the
seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry.
The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start
which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry).
But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph
plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf.

To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the
seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer
fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset
the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover
flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not
call into the plugin print functions.

Before this patch:

 2)               |        __fput() {

 2)   0.540 us    |          inotify_dentry_parent_queue_event();

822a696111 tracing/kprobes: Fix field creation's bad error handling
When we define the common event fields in kprobe, we invert the error
handling and return immediately in case of success. Then we omit
to define specific kprobes fields (ip and nargs), and specific
kretprobes fields (func, ret_ip, nargs). And we only define them
when we fail to create common fields.

The most visible consequence is that we can't create filter for
k(ret)probes specific fields.

This patch re-invert the success/error handling to fix it.

When setting the weight for a per-cpu task-group, we have to put in a

We used to add these phantom weights to the total, so that the idle
per-cpu shares don't get inflated, this however causes the non-idle

Reverse this, so that the non-idle shares are correct but the idle

a65ac745e4 sched: Move update_curr() in check_preempt_wakeup() to avoid redundant call
If a RT task is woken up while a non-RT task is running,
check_preempt_wakeup() is called to check whether the new task can
preempt the old task. The function returns quickly without going deeper
because it is apparent that a RT task can always preempt a non-RT task.

In this situation, check_preempt_wakeup() always calls update_curr() to
update vruntime value of the currently running task. However, the
function call is unnecessary and redundant at that moment because (1) a
non-RT task can always be preempted by a RT task regardless of its
vruntime value, and (2) update_curr() will be called shortly when the
context switch between two occurs.

By moving update_curr() in check_preempt_wakeup(), we can avoid
redundant call to update_curr(), slightly reducing the time taken to
wake up RT tasks.

44234adcdc hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them
Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling
it, changing its address, type or len, it calls
modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and
racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new
one.

This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint
slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only
supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging
workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle.

So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just
disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it
after if necessary.

c521efd170 tracing: Add pipe_close interface
An ftrace plugin can add a pipe_open interface when the user opens
trace_pipe. But if the plugin allocates something within the pipe_open
it can not free it because there exists no pipe_close. The hook to
the trace file open has a corresponding close. The closing of the
trace_pipe file should also have a corresponding close.

56053170ea hw-breakpoints: Fix task-bound breakpoint slot allocation
Whatever the context nature of a breakpoint, we always perform the
following constraint checks before allocating it a slot:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the max number of task-bound breakpoints that are belonging
  to a task.
- Add both and see if we have a reamining slot for the new breakpoint

This is the right thing to do when we are about to register a cpu-only
bound breakpoint. But not if we are dealing with a task bound
breakpoint. What we want in this case is:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the number of breakpoints that already belong to the task
  in which the breakpoint to register is bound to.
- Add both

This fixes a regression that makes the "firefox -g" command fail to
register breakpoints once we deal with a secondary thread.

6ad4c18884 sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race
Since (e761b77: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo
sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule
scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did.

The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up()
where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because
select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the
current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the
root_domain.

However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the
cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can
race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right.

Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint
triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty
tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf
as it triggers even when we don't overflow.

We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events
rules, being called only when we overflow.

    Change fib_validate_source() to accept packets with a local source address when
    the "accept_local" sysctl is set for the incoming inet device. Combined with the
    previous patches, this allows to communicate between multiple local interfaces

Implement an synchronize_rcu_expedited() for preemptible RCU
that actually is expedited.  This uses
synchronize_sched_expedited() to force all threads currently
running in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section onto the
appropriate ->blocked_tasks[] list, then takes a snapshot of all
of these lists and waits for them to drain.

Enable a fourth level of rcu_node hierarchy for TREE_RCU and
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.  This is for stress-testing and experiemental
purposes only, although in theory this would enable 16,777,216
CPUs on 64-bit systems, though only 1,048,576 CPUs on 32-bit
systems. Normal experimental use of this fourth level will
normally set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=2, requiring a 16-CPU system,
though the more adventurous (and more fortunate) experimenters
may wish to chose CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 for 81-CPU systems or even
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4 for 256-CPU systems.

d3f6bad391 rcu: Rename "quiet" functions
The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the
names are no longer very descriptive.  The point of all of these
functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a
quiescent state, so rename them accordingly:

o	cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a
	quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure.  If this
	turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period,
	then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the
	quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy.

o	cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports
	a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs)
	up the rcu_node hierarchy.

o	cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which
	reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state
	structure.

o	task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports
	a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical
	section that had previously blocked in that same critical section.
	As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is
	reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp()
	to do so).

35dead4235 modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfs
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module
this kernel "badness warning":
  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text'
  Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487

Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.

An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
  0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024  00000000  00000000  00000034  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
  1 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  00000058  2**0
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
  2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c  00000000  00000000  00000058  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
  3 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  000000d4  2**0
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under
/sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either.

The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section
names which are empty.

0cf55e1ec0 sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()
This is a real fix for problem of utime/stime values decreasing
described in the thread:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/522

Now cputime is accounted in the following way:

 - {u,s}time in task_struct are increased every time when the thread
   is interrupted by a tick (timer interrupt).

 - When a thread exits, its {u,s}time are added to signal->{u,s}time,
   after adjusted by task_times().

 - When all threads in a thread_group exits, accumulated {u,s}time
   (and also c{u,s}time) in signal struct are added to c{u,s}time
   in signal struct of the group's parent.

So {u,s}time in task struct are "raw" tick count, while
{u,s}time and c{u,s}time in signal struct are "adjusted" values.

And accounted values are used by:

 - task_times(), to get cputime of a thread:
   This function returns adjusted values that originates from raw
   {u,s}time and scaled by sum_exec_runtime that accounted by CFS.

 - thread_group_cputime(), to get cputime of a thread group:
   This function returns sum of all {u,s}time of living threads in
   the group, plus {u,s}time in the signal struct that is sum of
   adjusted cputimes of all exited threads belonged to the group.

The problem is the return value of thread_group_cputime(),
because it is mixed sum of "raw" value and "adjusted" value:

  group's {u,s}time = foreach(thread){{u,s}time} + exited({u,s}time)

This misbehavior can break {u,s}time monotonicity.
Assume that if there is a thread that have raw values greater
than adjusted values (e.g. interrupted by 1000Hz ticks 50 times
but only runs 45ms) and if it exits, cputime will decrease (e.g.
-5ms).

To fix this, we could do:

  group's {u,s}time = foreach(t){task_times(t)} + exited({u,s}time)

But task_times() contains hard divisions, so applying it for
every thread should be avoided.

This patch fixes the above problem in the following way:

 - Modify thread's exit (= __exit_signal()) not to use task_times().
   It means {u,s}time in signal struct accumulates raw values instead
   of adjusted values.  As the result it makes thread_group_cputime()
   to return pure sum of "raw" values.

 - Introduce a new function thread_group_times(*task, *utime, *stime)
   that converts "raw" values of thread_group_cputime() to "adjusted"
   values, in same calculation procedure as task_times().

 - Modify group's exit (= wait_task_zombie()) to use this introduced
   thread_group_times().  It make c{u,s}time in signal struct to
   have adjusted values like before this patch.

 - Replace some thread_group_cputime() by thread_group_times().
   This replacements are only applied where conveys the "adjusted"
   cputime to users, and where already uses task_times() near by it.
   (i.e. sys_times(), getrusage(), and /proc/<PID>/stat.)

This patch have a positive side effect:

 - Before this patch, if a group contains many short-life threads
   (e.g. runs 0.9ms and not interrupted by ticks), the group's
   cputime could be invisible since thread's cputime was accumulated
   after adjusted: imagine adjustment function as adj(ticks, runtime),
     {adj(0, 0.9) + adj(0, 0.9) + ....} = {0 + 0 + ....} = 0.
   After this patch it will not happen because the adjustment is
   applied after accumulated.

v2:
 - remove if()s, put new variables into signal_struct.

I introduced this regression in 49557e6203 (sched: Fix
boot crash by zalloc()ing most of the cpu masks).

Use the bootmem allocator if they set isolcpus=, otherwise
allocate and zero like normal.

498657a478 incorrectly assumed
that preempt wasn't disabled around context_switch() and thus
was fixing imaginary problem.  It also broke KVM because it
depended on ->sched_in() to be called with irq enabled so that
it can do smp calls from there.

Revert the incorrect commit and add comment describing different

fa1dae4906 SLOW_WORK: Fix the CONFIG_MODULES=n case
Commits 3d7a641 ("SLOW_WORK: Wait for outstanding work items belonging to a
module to clear") introduced some code to make sure that all of a module's
slow-work items were complete before that module was removed, and commit
3bde31a ("SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread is
needed") further extended that, breaking it in the process if CONFIG_MODULES=n:

    CC      kernel/slow-work.o
  kernel/slow-work.c: In function 'slow_work_execute':
  kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: 'slow_work_thread_processing' undeclared (first use in this function)
  kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
  kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: for each function it appears in.)
  kernel/slow-work.c: In function 'slow_work_wait_for_items':
  kernel/slow-work.c:950: error: 'slow_work_unreg_sync_lock' undeclared (first use in this function)
  kernel/slow-work.c:951: error: 'slow_work_unreg_wq' undeclared (first use in this function)
  kernel/slow-work.c:961: error: 'slow_work_unreg_work_item' undeclared (first use in this function)

  kernel/slow-work.c:977: error: 'slow_work_thread_processing' undeclared (first use in this function)
  make[1]: *** [kernel/slow-work.o] Error 1

Fix this by:

 (1) Extracting the bits of slow_work_execute() that are contingent on
     CONFIG_MODULES, and the bits that should be, into inline functions and
     placing them into the #ifdef'd section that defines the relevant variables
     and adding stubs for moduleless kernels.  This allows the removal of some
     #ifdefs.

 (2) #ifdef'ing out the contents of slow_work_wait_for_items() in moduleless
     kernels.

The four functions related to handling module unloading synchronisation (and
their associated variables) could be offloaded into a separate .c file, but
each function is only used once and three of them are tiny, so doing so would
prevent them from being inlined.

crashes. The kmsg_dump function gets called from oops_exit() and panic()
and invokes this callbacks with the crash reason.

8e7cac7980 core: Fix user return notifier on fork()
fork() clones all thread_info flags, including
TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY; if the new task is first scheduled on a cpu
which doesn't have user return notifiers set, this causes user
return notifiers to trigger without any way of clearing itself.

This is easy to trigger with a forky workload on the host in
parallel with kvm, resulting in a cpu in an endless loop on the
verge of returning to userspace.

Fix by dropping the TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY immediately after fork.

b2e74a265d perf_events: Fix read() bogus counts when in error state
When a pinned group cannot be scheduled it goes into error state.

Normally a group cannot go out of error state without being
explicitly re-enabled or disabled. There was a bug in per-thread
mode, whereby upon termination of the thread, the group would
transition from error to off leading to bogus counts and timing
information returned by read().

Fix it by clearing the error state.

b7b20df91d sched, time: Define nsecs_to_jiffies()
Use of msecs_to_jiffies() for nsecs_to_cputime() have some
problems:

 - The type of msecs_to_jiffies()'s argument is unsigned int, so
   it cannot convert msecs greater than UINT_MAX = about 49.7 days.

 - msecs_to_jiffies() returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET if MSB of argument
   is set, assuming that input was negative value.  So it cannot
   convert msecs greater than INT_MAX = about 24.8 days too.

This patch defines a new function nsecs_to_jiffies() that can
deal greater values, and that can deal all incoming values as
unsigned.

d180c5bcce sched: Introduce task_times() to replace task_{u,s}time() pair
Functions task_{u,s}time() are called in pair in almost all
cases.  However task_stime() is implemented to call task_utime()
from its inside, so such paired calls run task_utime() twice.

It means we do heavy divisions (div_u64 + do_div) twice to get
utime and stime which can be obtained at same time by one set
of divisions.

This patch introduces a function task_times(*tsk, *utime,
*stime) to retrieve utime and stime at once in better, optimized
way.

7ac0743404 ring-buffer-benchmark: Add parameters to set produce/consumer priorities
Running the ring-buffer-benchmark's threads at the lowest priority may
work well for keeping it in the background, but it is not appropriate
for the benchmarks.

This patch adds 4 parameters to the module:

  consumer_fifo
  consumer_nice
  producer_fifo
  producer_nice

By default the consumer and producer still run at nice +19.

If the *_fifo options are set, they will override the *_nice values.

 modprobe ring_buffer_benchmark consumer_nice=0 producer_fifo=10

The above will set the consumer thread to a nice value of 0, and
the producer thread to a RT SCHED_FIFO priority of 10.

Note, this patch also fixes a bug where calling set_user_nice on the
consumer thread would oops the kernel when the parameter "disable_reader"
is set.

b3a222e52e remove CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES compile option
As far as I know, all distros currently ship kernels with default
CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y.  Since having the option on
leaves a 'no_file_caps' option to boot without file capabilities,
the main reason to keep the option is that turning it off saves
you (on my s390x partition) 5k.  In particular, vmlinux sizes
came to:

without patch fscaps=n:		 	53598392
without patch fscaps=y:		 	53603406
with this patch applied:		53603342

with the security-next tree.

Against this we must weigh the fact that there is no simple way for
userspace to figure out whether file capabilities are supported,
while things like per-process securebits, capability bounding
sets, and adding bits to pI if CAP_SETPCAP is in pE are not supported
with SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=n, leaving a bit of a problem for
applications wanting to know whether they can use them and/or why
something failed.

It also adds another subtly different set of semantics which we must
maintain at the risk of severe security regressions.

So this patch removes the SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES compile
option.  It drops the kernel size by about 50k over the stock
SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y kernel, by removing the
cap_limit_ptraced_target() function.

Changelog:
	Nov 20: remove cap_limit_ptraced_target() as it's logic
		was ifndef'ed.

c4a5af54c8 Silence the existing API for capability version compatibility check.
When libcap, or other libraries attempt to confirm/determine the supported
capability version magic, they generally supply a NULL dataptr to capget().

In this case, while returning the supported/preferred magic (via a
modified header content), the return code of this system call may be 0,
-EINVAL, or -EFAULT.

No libcap code depends on the previous -EINVAL etc. return code, and
all of the above three return codes can accompany a valid (successful)
attempt to determine the requested magic value.

This patch cleans up the system call to return 0, if the call is
successfully being used to determine the supported/preferred capability
magic value.

fdf6bc9522 hw-breakpoints: Check the breakpoint params from perf tools
Perf tools create perf events as disabled in the beginning.
Breakpoints are then considered like ptrace temporary
breakpoints, only meant to reserve a breakpoint slot until we
get all the necessary informations from the user.

In this case, we don't check the address that is breakpointed as
it is NULL in the ptrace case.

But perf tools don't have the same purpose, events are created
disabled to wait for all events to be created before enabling
all of them. We want to check the breakpoint parameters in this
case.

acd1d7c1f8 perf_events: Restore sanity to scaling land
It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context
that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing.

perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters
(2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them,
solved the worst of that, but there was still some left).

The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping
(we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last
schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the
events.

This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the
event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active.

Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a
event while the attached task was not scheduled in.

Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about
ctx->is_active.

f67218c3e9 perf_events: Fix __perf_event_exit_task() vs. update_event_times() locking
Move the update_event_times() call in __perf_event_exit_task()
into list_del_event() because that holds the proper lock
(ctx->lock) and seems a more natural place to do the last time
update.

5e942bb333 perf_events: Update the context time on exit
It appeared we did call update_event_times() on exit, but we
failed to update the context time, which renders the former
moot.

Locking is a bit iffy, we call update_event_times under
ctx->mutex instead of ctx->lock - the next patch fixes this.

a4234bfcf4 perf_events: Optimize the swcounter hotpath
The structure init creates a bit memcpy, which shows

None of the callees depends on the structure being pre-initialized,
so only initialize ->addr. This gets rid of the memcpy overhead.

9f680ab414 rcu: Eliminate unneeded function wrapping
The functions rcu_init() is a wrapper for __rcu_init(), and also
sets up the CPU-hotplug notifier for rcu_barrier_cpu_hotplug().
But TINY_RCU doesn't need CPU-hotplug notification, and the
rcu_barrier_cpu_hotplug() is a simple wrapper for
rcu_cpu_notify().

So push rcu_init() out to kernel/rcutree.c and kernel/rcutiny.c
and get rid of the wrapper function rcu_barrier_cpu_hotplug().

b668c9cf3e rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug
When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes
offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure
(due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical
sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure.  This
requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks().
However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only
thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a
quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy.  Unfortunately, the
old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a
grace-period stall given the following sequence of events:

1.	Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more
	than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one
	rcu_node structure.  (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set
	to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.)

2.	The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.

3.	A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node
	structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section
	-and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state
	for the current RCU grace period.  This will cause the task
	to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in
	particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the
	current grace period.

4.	Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node
	structure pass through a quiescent state.  However, the task is
	still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent
	states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy.
	Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask
	field are now zero.

5.	Each of the remaining CPUs go offline.  (The events in step
	#4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes
	through a quiescent state before going offline.)

6.	When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke
	rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the
	root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state
	up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent
	state is the bug).

	But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is
	already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty,
	force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure.

	Therefore, grace periods are now hung.

This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(),
calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and
invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and
__rcu_offline_cpu().  Invoking task_quiet() from
__rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node
hierarchy, fixing the bug.  This ends up requiring a separate
lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this
patch also provides.

The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is
used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the

When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
only once.

Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
the trace events before submitting a trace.

8904b18046 perf_events: Fix default watermark calculation
This patch fixes the default watermark value for the sampling
buffer. With the existing calculation (watermark =
max(PAGE_SIZE, max_size / 2)), no notification was ever received
when the buffer was exactly 1 page. This was because you would
never cross the threshold (there is no partial samples).

In certain configuration, there was no possibilty detecting the
problem because there was not enough space left to store the
LOST record.In fact, there may be a more generic problem here.
The kernel should ensure that there is alaways enough space to
store one LOST record.

This patch sets the default watermark to half the buffer size.
With such limit, we are guaranteed to get a notification even
with a single page buffer assuming no sample is bigger than a
page.

abf4868b85 perf: Fix PERF_FORMAT_GROUP scale info
As Corey reported, the total_enabled and total_running times
could occasionally be 0, even though there were events counted.

It turns out this is because we record the times before reading
the counter while the latter updates the times.

This patch corrects that.

While looking at this code I found that there is a lot of
locking iffyness around, the following patches correct most of
that.

Remove a rcu_read_{,un}lock() pair and a few conditionals.

We can remove the rcu_read_lock() by increasing the scope of one
in the calling function.

We can do away with the system_state check if the machine still
boots after this patch (seems to be the case).

We can do away with the list_empty() check because the bare

3bde31a4ac SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread is needed
Add a function to allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread
processing it is needed by the slow-work facility to perform other work.

Sometimes a work item can't progress immediately, but must wait for the
completion of another work item that's currently being processed by another
slow-work thread.

In some circumstances, the waiting item could instead - theoretically - put
itself back on the queue and yield its thread back to the slow-work facility,
thus waiting till it gets processing time again before attempting to progress.
This would allow other work items processing time on that thread.

However, this only works if there is something on the queue for it to queue
behind - otherwise it will just get a thread again immediately, and will end
up cycling between the queue and the thread, eating up valuable CPU time.

So, slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed() is provided such that an item can put
itself on a wait queue that will wake it up when the event it is actually
interested in occurs, then call this function in lieu of calling schedule().

This function will then sleep until either the item's event occurs or another
work item appears on the queue.  If another work item is queued, but the
item's event hasn't occurred, then the work item should requeue itself and
yield the thread back to the slow-work facility by returning.

This can be used by CacheFiles for an object that is being created on one
thread to wait for an object being deleted on another thread where there is
nothing on the queue for the creation to go and wait behind.  As soon as an
item appears on the queue that could be given thread time instead, CacheFiles
can stick the creating object back on the queue and return to the slow-work
facility - assuming the object deletion didn't also complete.

559fdc3c1b perf_event: Optimize perf_output_lock()
The purpose of perf_output_{un,}lock() is to:

 1) avoid publishing incomplete data
    [ possible when publishing a head that is ahead of an entry
      that is still being written ]

 2) guarantee fwd progress
    [ a simple refcount on pending writers doesn't need to drop to
      0, making it so would end up implementing something like forced
      quiecent states of RCU ]

To satisfy the above without undue complexity it serializes
between CPUs, this means that a pending writer can only be the
same cpu in a nested context, and since (under normal operation)
a cpu always makes progress we're good -- if the head is only
published when the bottom  most writer completes.

Now we don't need to disable IRQs in order to serialize between
CPUs, disabling preemption ought to be sufficient, esp since we
already deal with nesting due to NMIs.

This avoids potentially expensive (and needless) local IRQ
disable/enable ops.

Solve this like the regular sched_domain stuff is also

path, this ensures that a root_domain stays present for any

498657a478 sched, kvm: Fix race condition involving sched_in_preempt_notifers
In finish_task_switch(), fire_sched_in_preempt_notifiers() is
called after finish_lock_switch().

However, depending on architecture, preemption can be enabled after
finish_lock_switch() which breaks the semantics of preempt
notifiers.

So move it before finish_arch_switch(). This also makes the in-
notifiers symmetric to out- notifiers in terms of locking - now
both are called under rq lock.

2f51f9884f rcu: Eliminate __rcu_pending() false positives
Now that there are both ->gpnum and ->completed fields in the
rcu_node structure, __rcu_pending() should check rdp->gpnum and
rdp->completed against rnp->gpnum and rdp->completed, respectively,
instead of the prior comparison against the rcu_state fields
rsp->gpnum and rsp->completed.

Given the old comparison, __rcu_pending() could return 1, resulting
in a needless raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ).  This useless work would
happen if RCU responded to a scheduling-clock interrupt after the
rcu_state fields had been updated, but before the rcu_node fields
had been updated.

Changing the comparison from the rcu_state fields to the rcu_node
fields prevents this useless work from happening.

6beb000923 locking: Make inlining decision Kconfig based
commit 892a7c67 (locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks) implements the
selection of which lock functions are inlined based on defines in
arch/.../spinlock.h: #define __always_inline__LOCK_FUNCTION

Despite of the name __always_inline__* the lock functions can be built
out of line depending on config options. Also if the arch does not set
some inline defines the generic code might set them; again depending on
config options.

This makes it unnecessary hard to figure out when and which lock
functions are inlined. Aside of that it makes it way harder and
messier for -rt to manipulate the lock functions.

Convert the inlining decision to CONFIG switches. Each lock function
is inlined depending on CONFIG_INLINE_*. The configs implement the
existing dependencies. The architecture code can select ARCH_INLINE_*
to signal that it wants the corresponding lock function inlined.
ARCH_INLINE_* is necessary as Kconfig ignores "depends on"
restrictions when a config element is selected.

No functional change.

97813f2fe7 nohz: Allow 32-bit machines to sleep for more than 2.15 seconds
In the dynamic tick code, "max_delta_ns" (member of the
"clock_event_device" structure) represents the maximum sleep time
that can occur between timer events in nanoseconds.

The variable, "max_delta_ns", is defined as an unsigned long
which is a 32-bit integer for 32-bit machines and a 64-bit
integer for 64-bit machines (if -m64 option is used for gcc).
The value of max_delta_ns is set by calling the function
"clockevent_delta2ns()" which returns a maximum value of LONG_MAX.
For a 32-bit machine LONG_MAX is equal to 0x7fffffff and in
nanoseconds this equates to ~2.15 seconds. Hence, the maximum
sleep time for a 32-bit machine is ~2.15 seconds, where as for
a 64-bit machine it will be many years.

This patch changes the type of max_delta_ns to be "u64" instead of
"unsigned long" so that this variable is a 64-bit type for both 32-bit
and 64-bit machines. It also changes the maximum value returned by
clockevent_delta2ns() to KTIME_MAX.  Hence this allows a 32-bit
machine to sleep for longer than ~2.15 seconds. Please note that this
patch also changes "min_delta_ns" to be "u64" too and although this is
unnecessary, it makes the patch simpler as it avoids to fixup all
callers of clockevent_delta2ns().

[ tglx: changed "unsigned long long" to u64 as we use this data type
  	through out the time code ]

98962465ed nohz: Prevent clocksource wrapping during idle
The dynamic tick allows the kernel to sleep for periods longer than a
single tick, but it does not limit the sleep time currently. In the
worst case the kernel could sleep longer than the wrap around time of
the time keeping clock source which would result in losing track of
time.

Prevent this by limiting it to the safe maximum sleep time of the
current time keeping clock source. The value is calculated when the
clock source is registered.

7d2f944a2b clocksource: Provide a generic mult/shift factor calculation
MIPS has two functions to calculcate the mult/shift factors for clock
sources and clock events at run time. ARM needs such functions as
well.

Implement a function which calculates the mult/shift factors based on
the frequencies to which and from which is converted. The function
also has a parameter to specify the minimum conversion range in
seconds. This range is guaranteed not to produce a 64bit overflow when
a value is multiplied with the calculated mult factor. The larger the
conversion range the less becomes the conversion accuracy.

Provide two inline wrappers which handle clock events and clock
sources. For clock events the "from" frequency is nano seconds per
second which corresponds to 1GHz and "to" is the device frequency. For
clock sources "from" is the device frequency and "to" is nano seconds
per second.

Lockdep events subsystem gathers various locking related events
such as a request, release, contention or acquisition of a lock.

The name of this event subsystem is a bit of a misnomer since
these events are not quite related to lockdep but more generally
to locking, ie: these events are not reporting lock dependencies
or possible deadlock scenario but pure locking events.

Hence this rename.

b32e9eb6ad rcu: Accelerate callback processing on CPUs not detecting GP end
An earlier fix for a race resulted in a situation where the CPUs
other than the CPU that detected the end of the grace period would
not process their callbacks until the next grace period started.

This means that these other CPUs would unnecessarily demand that an
extra grace period be started.

This patch eliminates this extra grace period and speeds callback
processing by propagating rsp->completed to the rcu_node structures
in the case where the CPU detecting the end of the grace period
sees no reason to start a new grace period.

761b1d26df sched: Fix granularity of task_u/stime()
Originally task_s/utime() were designed to return clock_t but
later changed to return cputime_t by following commit:

  commit efe567fc82
  Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
  Date:   Thu Aug 23 15:18:02 2007 +0200

It only changed the type of return value, but not the
implementation. As the result the granularity of task_s/utime()
is still that of clock_t, not that of cputime_t.

So using task_s/utime() in __exit_signal() makes values
accumulated to the signal struct to be rounded and coarse
grained.

This patch removes casts to clock_t in task_u/stime(), to keep
granularity of cputime_t over the calculation.

v2:
  Use div_u64() to avoid error "undefined reference to `__udivdi3`"
  on some 32bit systems.

I talked with Peter Zijlstra about the impact that sched_clock may have
without having interrupts disabled, and he told me that if a timer interrupt
comes in, sched_clock may report a wrong time.

Balancing a seldom incorrect timestamp with a 15% performance boost, I'll
take the performance boost.

a6f0eb6adc ring-buffer: Add multiple iterations between benchmark timestamps
The ring_buffer_benchmark does a gettimeofday after every write to the
ring buffer in its measurements. This adds the overhead of the call
to gettimeofday to the measurements and does not give an accurate picture
of the length of time it takes to record a trace.

This was first noticed with perf top:

               25.00 -  0.4% : _spin_unlock_irq

And the length of each write to the ring buffer measured at 310ns.

This patch adds a new module parameter called "write_interval" which is
defaulted to 50. This is the number of writes performed between
timestamps. After this patch perf top shows:

               11.00 -  0.2% : getnstimeofday

do_gettimeofday dropped from 13% usage to a mere 0.4%! (using the default
50 interval)  The measurement for each timestamp went from 310ns to 210ns.
That's 100ns (1/3rd) overhead that the gettimeofday call was introducing.

26a7034b40 sysctl: Reduce sys_sysctl to a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys
To simply maintenance and to be able to remove all of the binary
sysctl support from various subsystems I have rewritten the binary
sysctl code as a compatibility wrapper around proc/sys.

The code is built around a hard coded table based on the table
in sysctl_check.c that lists all of our current binary sysctls
and provides enough information to convert from the sysctl
binary input into into ascii and back again.  New in this
patch is the realization that the only dynamic entries
that need to be handled have ifname as the asscii string
and ifindex as their ctl_name.

When a sys_sysctl is called the code now looks in the
translation table converting the binary name to the
path under /proc where the value is to be found.  Opens
that file, and calls into a format conversion wrapper
that calls fop->read and then fop->write as appropriate.

Since in practice the practically no one uses or tests
sys_sysctl rewritting the code to be beautiful is a little
silly.  The redeeming merit of this work is it allows us to
rip out all of the binary sysctl syscall support from
everywhere else in the tree.  Allowing us to remove
a lot of dead (after this patch) and barely maintained code.

In addition it becomes much easier to optimize the sysctl
implementation for being the backing store of /proc/sys,
without having to worry about sys_sysctl.

c64ac3ce06 rcu: Simplify association of quiescent states with grace periods
The rdp->passed_quiesc_completed fields are used to properly
associate the recorded quiescent state with a grace period.  It
is OK to wrongly associate a given quiescent state with a
preceding grace period, but it is fatal to associate a given
quiescent state with a grace period that begins after the
quiescent state occurred.  Grace periods are numbered, and the
following fields track them:

o	->gpnum is the number of the grace period currently in
	progress, or the number of the last grace period to
	complete if no grace period is currently in progress.

o	->completed is the number of the last grace period to
	have completed.

These two fields are equal if there is no grace period in
progress, otherwise ->gpnum is one greater than ->completed.
But the rdp->passed_quiesc_completed field compared against
->completed, and if equal, the quiescent state is presumed to
count against the current grace period.

The earlier code copied rdp->completed to
rdp->passed_quiesc_completed, which has been made to work, but
is error-prone.  In contrast, copying one less than rdp->gpnum
is guaranteed safe, because rdp->gpnum is not incremented until
after the start of the corresponding grace period. At the end of
the grace period, when ->completed has incremented, then any
quiescent periods recorded previously will be discarded.

9160306e6f rcu: Fix note_new_gpnum() uses of ->gpnum
Impose a clear locking design on the note_new_gpnum()
function's use of the ->gpnum counter.  This is done by updating
rdp->gpnum only from the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's
rnp->gpnum field, and even then only under the protection of
that same rcu_node structure's ->lock field.  Performance and
scalability are maintained using a form of double-checked
locking, and excessive spinning is avoided by use of the
spin_trylock() function.  The use of spin_trylock() is safe due
to the fact that CPUs who fail to acquire this lock will try
again later. The hierarchical nature of the rcu_node data
structure limits contention (which could be limited further if
need be using the RCU_FANOUT kernel parameter).

Without this patch, obscure but quite possible races could
result in a quiescent state that occurred during one grace
period to be accounted to the following grace period, causing
this following grace period to end prematurely.  Not good!

d09b62dfa3 rcu: Fix synchronization for rcu_process_gp_end() uses of ->completed counter
Impose a clear locking design on the rcu_process_gp_end()
function's use of the ->completed counter.  This is done by
creating a ->completed field in the rcu_node structure, which
can safely be accessed under the protection of that structure's
lock.  Performance and scalability are maintained by using a
form of double-checked locking, so that rcu_process_gp_end()
only acquires the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock if a grace
period has recently ended.

This fix reduces rcutorture failure rate by at least two orders
of magnitude under heavy stress with force_quiescent_state()
being invoked artificially often.  Without this fix,
unsynchronized access to the ->completed field can cause
rcu_process_gp_end() to advance callbacks whose grace period has
not yet expired.  (Bad idea!)

->completed counter.  This increases the distance between the
RCU and the CPU-hotplug mechanisms.

dd8dbf2e68 security: report the module name to security_module_request
For SELinux to do better filtering in userspace we send the name of the

f84d49b218 signal: Print warning message when dropping signals
When the system has too many timers or too many aggregate
queued signals, the EAGAIN error is returned to application
from kernel, including timer_create() [POSIX.1b].

It means that the app exceeded the limit of pending signals,
but in general application writers do not expect this
outcome and the current silent failure can cause rare app
failures under very high load.

This patch adds a new message when we reach the limit
and if print_fatal_signals is enabled:

    task/1234: reached RLIMIT_SIGPENDING, dropping signal

If you see this message and your system behaved unexpectedly,
you can run following command to lift the limit:

   # ulimit -i unlimited

ba1c813a6b hw-breakpoints: Arbitrate access to pmu following registers constraints
Allow or refuse to build a counter using the breakpoints pmu following
given constraints.

We keep track of the pmu users by using three per cpu variables:

- nr_cpu_bp_pinned stores the number of pinned cpu breakpoints counters
  in the given cpu

- nr_bp_flexible stores the number of non-pinned breakpoints counters
  in the given cpu.

- task_bp_pinned stores the number of pinned task breakpoints in a cpu

The latter is not a simple counter but gathers the number of tasks that
have n pinned breakpoints.
Considering HBP_NUM the number of available breakpoint address
registers:
   task_bp_pinned[0] is the number of tasks having 1 breakpoint
   task_bp_pinned[1] is the number of tasks having 2 breakpoints
   [...]
   task_bp_pinned[HBP_NUM - 1] is the number of tasks having the
   maximum number of registers (HBP_NUM).

When a breakpoint counter is created and wants an access to the pmu,
we evaluate the following constraints:

== Non-pinned counter ==

- If attached to a single cpu, check:

    (per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, cpu) || (per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, cpu)
         + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, cpu)))) < HBP_NUM

       -> If there are already non-pinned counters in this cpu, it
          means there is already a free slot for them.
          Otherwise, we check that the maximum number of per task
          breakpoints (for this cpu) plus the number of per cpu
          breakpoint (for this cpu) doesn't cover every registers.

- If attached to every cpus, check:

    (per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, *) || (max(per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, *))
           + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, *)))) < HBP_NUM

       -> This is roughly the same, except we check the number of per
          cpu bp for every cpu and we keep the max one. Same for the
          per tasks breakpoints.

== Pinned counter ==

- If attached to a single cpu, check:

       ((per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, cpu) > 1)
            + per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, cpu)
            + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, cpu))) < HBP_NUM

       -> Same checks as before. But now the nr_bp_flexible, if any,
          must keep one register at least (or flexible breakpoints will
          never be be fed).

- If attached to every cpus, check:

      ((per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, *) > 1)
           + max(per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, *))
           + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, *))) < HBP_NUM

Changes in v2:

- Counter -> event rename

Changes in v5:

- Fix unreleased non-pinned task-bound-only counters. We only released
  it in the first cpu. (Thanks to Paul Mackerras for reporting that)

Changes in v6:

- Currently, events scheduling are done in this order: cpu context
  pinned + cpu context non-pinned + task context pinned + task context
  non-pinned events. Then our current constraints are right theoretically
  but not in practice, because non-pinned counters may be scheduled
  before we can apply every possible pinned counters. So consider
  non-pinned counters as pinned for now.

24f1e32c60 hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events
This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.

Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..

The new layering is now made as follows:

       ptrace       kgdb      ftrace   perf syscall
          \          |          /         /
           \         |         /         /
                                        /
            Core breakpoint API        /
                                      /
                     |               /
                     |              /

              Breakpoints perf events

                     |
                     |

               Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
                                    (Part of core breakpoint API)
                     |
                     |

             Hardware debug registers

Reasons of this rewrite:

- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
  implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
  events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)

Impact:

- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
  thread breakpoints references.

Todo (in the order):

- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
  perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools

Changes in v2:

- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
  weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
  perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
  asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch

Changes in v3:

- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
  changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
  to the host.

Changes in v4:

- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
  module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
  TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
  breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
  set when the guest used debug registers.
  (Waiting for a reliable optimization)

Changes in v5:

- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
  linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
  to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
  breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
  address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c

Changes in v6:

- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
  error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

444a2a3bcd tracing, perf_events: Protect the buffer from recursion in perf
While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the
lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf
trace events.

Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through
perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we
can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock,
and only that.

This is because of a recursion inside perf.

1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu
   buffer and submit it to perf.

2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data
   using rcu_read_lock

3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire
   event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the
   buffer to perf.

4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it

5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer
   has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then
   been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock

Such scenario also happens with lock_release with
rcu_read_unlock().

We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop
the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us
lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other
possible kind of recursion from perf in the future.

This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the
perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem.

The rest of our mature compat syscall helper facitilies
are used as well to ensure we have a nice clean maintainable
compat syscall that can be used on all architectures.

The motiviation for a generic compat sysctl (besides the
obvious hack removal) is to reduce the number of compat

binary sysctl implementation.

ppc already used the name compat_sys_sysctl so I remove the

3c5d92a0cf nohz: Introduce arch_needs_cpu
Allow the architecture to request a normal jiffy tick when the system
goes idle and tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick is called . On s390 the hook is
used to prevent the system going fully idle if there has been an
interrupt other than a clock comparator interrupt since the last wakeup.

On s390 the HiperSockets response time for 1 connection ping-pong goes
down from 42 to 34 microseconds. The CPU cost decreases by 27%.

eed3b9cf3f nohz: Reuse ktime in sub-functions of tick_check_idle.
On a system with NOHZ=y tick_check_idle calls tick_nohz_stop_idle and
tick_nohz_update_jiffies. Given the right conditions (ts->idle_active
and/or ts->tick_stopped) both function get a time stamp with ktime_get.
The same time stamp can be reused if both function require one.

On s390 this change has the additional benefit that gcc inlines the
tick_nohz_stop_idle function into tick_check_idle. The number of
instructions to execute tick_check_idle drops from 225 to 144
(without the ktime_get optimization it is 367 vs 215 instructions).

1e5ad96790 resources: when allocate_resource() fails, leave resource untouched
When "allocate_resource(root, new, size, ...)" fails, we currently
clobber "new".  This is inconvenient for the caller, who might care
about the original contents of the resource.

For example, when pci_bus_alloc_resource() fails, the "can't allocate
mem resource %pR" message from pci_assign_resources() currently contains
junk for the resource start/end.

This patch delays the "new" update until we're about to return success.

When waking affine, check for an idle shared cache, and if

This improves pgsql+oltp ramp up by roughly 8%. Possibly more
for other loads, depending on overlap. The trade-off is a
roughly 1% peak downturn if tasks are truly synchronous.

acc3f5d7ca cpumask: Partition_sched_domains takes array of cpumask_var_t
Currently partition_sched_domains() takes a 'struct cpumask
*doms_new' which is a kmalloc'ed array of cpumask_t.  You can't
have such an array if 'struct cpumask' is undefined, as we plan
for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.

So, we make this an array of cpumask_var_t instead: this is the
same for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case, but requires
multiple allocations for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y case.
Hence we add alloc_sched_domains() and free_sched_domains()
functions.

There are reasons for kernel code to ask for, and use, performance

For example, in CPU freq governors this tends to be a good idea, but
there are other examples possible as well of course.

This patch adds the needed bits to do enable this functionality; they
have been tested in an experimental cpufreq driver that I'm working on,
and the changes are all that I needed to access counters properly.

1d51075094 Correct nr_processes() when CPUs have been unplugged
nr_processes() returns the sum of the per cpu counter process_counts for
all online CPUs. This counter is incremented for the current CPU on
fork() and decremented for the current CPU on exit(). Since a process
does not necessarily fork and exit on the same CPU the process_count for
an individual CPU can be either positive or negative and effectively has
no meaning in isolation.

Therefore calculating the sum of process_counts over only the online
CPUs omits the processes which were started or stopped on any CPU which
has since been unplugged. Only the sum of process_counts across all
possible CPUs has meaning.

The only caller of nr_processes() is proc_root_getattr() which
calculates the number of links to /proc as
        stat->nlink = proc_root.nlink + nr_processes();

You don't have to be all that unlucky for the nr_processes() to return a
negative value leading to a negative number of links (or rather, an
apparently enormous number of links). If this happens then you can get
failures where things like "ls /proc" start to fail because they got an
-EOVERFLOW from some stat() call.

Example with some debugging inserted to show what goes on:
        # ps haux|wc -l
        nr_processes: CPU0:     90
        nr_processes: CPU1:     1030
        nr_processes: CPU2:     -900
        nr_processes: CPU3:     -136
        nr_processes: TOTAL:    84
        proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() 84 = 96
        84
        # echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
        # ps haux|wc -l
        nr_processes: CPU0:     85
        nr_processes: CPU2:     -901
        nr_processes: CPU3:     -137
        nr_processes: TOTAL:    -953
        proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() -953 = -941
        75
        # stat /proc/
        nr_processes: CPU0:     84
        nr_processes: CPU2:     -901
        nr_processes: CPU3:     -137
        nr_processes: TOTAL:    -954
        proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() -954 = -942
          File: `/proc/'
          Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 1024   directory

        Change: 2009-11-03 09:06:55.000000000 +0000

I'm not 100% convinced that the per_cpu regions remain valid for offline
CPUs, although my testing suggests that they do. If not then I think the
correct solution would be to aggregate the process_count for a given CPU
into a global base value in cpu_down().

This bug appears to pre-date the transition to git and it looks like it
may even have been present in linux-2.6.0-test7-bk3 since it looks like
the code Rusty patched in http://lwn.net/Articles/64773/ was already
wrong.

4dae560f97 kprobes: Sanitize struct kretprobe_instance allocations
For as long as kretprobes have existed, we've allocated NR_CPUS
instances of kretprobe_instance structures. With the default
value of CONFIG_NR_CPUS increasing on certain architectures, we
are potentially wasting kernel memory.

See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10839#c3 for
more details.

Use a saner num_possible_cpus() instead of NR_CPUS for
allocation.

c5e0cb3ddc rcu: Cleanup: balance rcu_irq_enter()/rcu_irq_exit() calls
Currently, rcu_irq_exit() is invoked only for CONFIG_NO_HZ,
while rcu_irq_enter() is invoked unconditionally.  This patch
moves rcu_irq_exit() out from under CONFIG_NO_HZ so that the
calls are balanced.

This patch has no effect on the behavior of the kernel because
both rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() are empty for
!CONFIG_NO_HZ, but the code is easier to understand if the calls
are obviously balanced in all cases.

83f5b01ffb rcu: Fix long-grace-period race between forcing and initialization
Very long RCU read-side critical sections (50 milliseconds or
so) can cause a race between force_quiescent_state() and
rcu_start_gp() as follows on kernel builds with multi-level
rcu_node hierarchies:

1.	CPU 0 calls force_quiescent_state(), sees that there is a
	grace period in progress, and acquires ->fsqlock.

2.	CPU 1 detects the end of the grace period, and so
	cpu_quiet_msk_finish() sets rsp->completed to rsp->gpnum.
	This operation is carried out under the root rnp->lock,
	but CPU 0 has not yet acquired that lock.  Note that
	rsp->signaled is still RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK from the last
	grace period.

3.	CPU 1 calls rcu_start_gp(), but no one wants a new grace
	period, so it drops the root rnp->lock and returns.

4.	CPU 0 acquires the root rnp->lock and picks up rsp->completed
	and rsp->signaled, then drops rnp->lock.  It then enters the
	RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement.

5.	CPU 2 invokes call_rcu(), and now needs a new grace period.
	It calls rcu_start_gp(), which acquires the root rnp->lock, sets
	rsp->signaled to RCU_GP_INIT (too bad that CPU 0 is already in
	the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement!)  and starts
	initializing the rcu_node hierarchy.  If there are multiple
	levels to the hierarchy, it will drop the root rnp->lock and
	initialize the lower levels of the hierarchy.

6.	CPU 0 notes that rsp->completed has not changed, which permits
        both CPU 2 and CPU 0 to try updating it concurrently.  If CPU 0's
	update prevails, later calls to force_quiescent_state() can
	count old quiescent states against the new grace period, which
	can in turn result in premature ending of grace periods.

	Not good.

This patch adds an RCU_GP_IDLE state for rsp->signaled that is
set initially at boot time and any time a grace period ends.
This prevents CPU 0 from getting into the workings of
force_quiescent_state() in step 4.  Additional locking and
checks prevent the concurrent update of rsp->signaled in step 6.

debugobjects warns about an enqueued timer being initialized. If
CONFIG_USER_SCHED=y the user management code uses delayed work to
remove the user from the hash table and tear down the sysfs objects.

free_uid is called from RCU and initializes/schedules delayed work if
the usage count of the user_struct is 0. The init/schedule happens
outside of the uidhash_lock protected region which allows a concurrent
caller of find_user() to reference the about to be destroyed
user_struct w/o preventing the work from being scheduled. If the next
free_uid call happens before the work timer expired then the active
timer is initialized and the work scheduled again.

The race was introduced in commit 5cb350ba (sched: group scheduling,
sysfs tunables) and made more prominent by commit 3959214f (sched:
delayed cleanup of user_struct)

Move the init/schedule_delayed_work inside of the uidhash_lock
protected region to prevent the race.

The warning is
--->    WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled());

The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but
sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling the
connector.

After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector from
__set_special_pids to sys_setsid.

We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from
task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the
session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM.

One last thing:
There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a
notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user
space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems
to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If
we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an
additional patch (Scott?)

Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address
of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu

created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly.

Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).

3c7d76e371 param: fix setting arrays of bool
We create a dummy struct kernel_param on the stack for parsing each
array element, but we didn't initialize the flags word.  This matters
for arrays of type "bool", where the flag indicates if it really is
an array of bools or unsigned int (old-style).

65afac7d80 param: fix lots of bugs with writing charp params from sysfs, by leaking mem.
e180a6b775 "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case
where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers
accessing random memory.

Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's
rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs.  But that's not all:

1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an
   uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param.
2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then
   it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory.

The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory.  This
prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak.  In practice, there
are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are
root-only writable.

11df6dddcb futex: Fix spurious wakeup for requeue_pi really
The requeue_pi path doesn't use unqueue_me() (and the racy lock_ptr ==
NULL test) nor does it use the wake_list of futex_wake() which where
the reason for commit 41890f2 (futex: Handle spurious wake up)

See debugging discussing on LKML Message-ID: <4AD4080C.20703@us.ibm.com>

The changes in this fix to the wait_requeue_pi path were considered to
be a likely unecessary, but harmless safety net. But it turns out that
due to the fact that for unknown $@#!*( reasons EWOULDBLOCK is defined
as EAGAIN we built an endless loop in the code path which returns
correctly EWOULDBLOCK.

Spurious wakeups in wait_requeue_pi code path are unlikely so we do
the easy solution and return EWOULDBLOCK^WEAGAIN to user space and let
it deal with the spurious wakeup.

Commit 34d76c41 introduced percpu array update_shares_data, size of which
being proportional to NR_CPUS. Unfortunately this blows up ia64 for large
NR_CPUS configuration, as ia64 allows only 64k for .percpu section.

Fix this by allocating this array dynamically and keep only pointer to it

The per-cpu handling doesn't impose significant performance penalty on
potentially contented path in tg_shares_up().

9b1d82fa16 rcu: "Tiny RCU", The Bloatwatch Edition
This patch is a version of RCU designed for !SMP provided for a
small-footprint RCU implementation.  In particular, the
implementation of synchronize_rcu() is extremely lightweight and
high performance. It passes rcutorture testing in each of the
four relevant configurations (combinations of NO_HZ and PREEMPT)
on x86.  This saves about 1K bytes compared to old Classic RCU
(which is no longer in mainline), and more than three kilobytes
compared to Hierarchical RCU (updated to 2.6.30):

	CONFIG_TREE_RCU:

	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    filename
	    183       4       0     187     kernel/rcupdate.o
	   2783     520      36    3339     kernel/rcutree.o
				   3526 Total (vs 4565 for v7)

	CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU:

	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    filename
	    263       4       0     267     kernel/rcupdate.o
	   4594     776      52    5422     kernel/rcutree.o
	   			   5689 Total (6155 for v7)

	CONFIG_TINY_RCU:

	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    filename
	     96       4       0     100     kernel/rcupdate.o
	    734      24       0     758     kernel/rcutiny.o
	    			    858 Total (vs 848 for v7)

The above is for x86.  Your mileage may vary on other platforms.
Further compression is possible, but is being procrastinated.

Changes from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/9/388)

o	Apply Lai Jiangshan's review comments (aside from
might_sleep() 	in synchronize_sched(), which is covered by SMP builds).

o	Fix up expedited primitives.

Changes from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/293).

o	Forward ported to put it into the 2.6.33 stream.

o	Added lockdep support.

o	Make lightweight rcu_barrier.

Changes from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/23/12).

o	Ported to latest pre-2.6.32 merge window kernel.

	- Renamed rcu_qsctr_inc() to rcu_sched_qs().
	- Renamed rcu_bh_qsctr_inc() to rcu_bh_qs().
	- Provided trivial rcu_cpu_notify().
	- Provided trivial exit_rcu().
	- Provided trivial rcu_needs_cpu().
	- Fixed up the rcu_*_enter/exit() functions in linux/hardirq.h.

o	Removed the dependence on EMBEDDED, with a view to making
	TINY_RCU default for !SMP at some time in the future.

o	Added (trivial) support for expedited grace periods.

Changes from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include:

o	Squeeze the size down a bit further by removing the
	->completed field from struct rcu_ctrlblk.

o	This permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function.
	Previous concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as
	rcutorture correctly handles a constant value from
	rcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh().

Changes from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include:

o	Changed rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh()
	rcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and
	rcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David
	Howells.  Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o.
	(The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly
	comparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.)

Changes from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include:

o	Fix whitespace issues.

o	Change short-circuit "||" operator to instead be "+" in order
to 	fix performance bug noted by "kraai" on LWN.

		(http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/)

Changes from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include:

o	This version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested
	by Ingo.

o	Updated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero,
	permitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time.
	This works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to
	dynticks-idle mode.

o	Paul is now OK with this being included, based on a poll at
the 	Kernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said
	that they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems.

o	Applies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.

ce0e7b28fb sched, cpuacct: Fix niced guest time accounting
CPU time of a guest is always accounted in 'user' time
without concern for the nice value of its counterpart
process although the guest is scheduled under the nice
value.

This patch fixes the defect and accounts cpu time of
a niced guest in 'nice' time as same as a niced process.

And also the patch adds 'guest_nice' to cpuacct. The
value provides niced guest cpu time which is like 'nice'
to 'user'.

3e69533b51 tracing: Fix trace_seq_printf() return value
trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It
currently returns the length of the space available in the
buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not
adequate here, because:

  trace_seq_printf(s, "");

is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it
failed.

We can always see the amount written by looking at the before
and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as
printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to
the buffer or not.

Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the
buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.

f685ceacab sched: Strengthen buddies and mitigate buddy induced latencies
This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing
pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also
switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely
mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which
improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp
scalability.

Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the
point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely
sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively,
which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing
aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp
throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is
actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the
desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service.
Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale.

To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing
wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time.

Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via
CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

5c82871335 ratelimit: Make suppressed output messages more useful
Today I got:

  [39648.224782] Registered led device: iwl-phy0::TX
  [40676.545099] __ratelimit: 246 callbacks suppressed
  [40676.545103] abcdef[23675]: segfault at 0 ...

as you can see the ratelimit message contains a function prefix.
Since this is always __ratelimit, this wont help much.

This patch changes __ratelimit and printk_ratelimit to print the
function name that calls ratelimit.

This will pinpoint the responsible function, as long as not several
different places call ratelimit with the same ratelimit state at
the same time. In that case we catch only one random function that
calls ratelimit after the wait period.

721a669b72 perf events: Fix swevent hrtimer sampling by keeping track of remaining time when enabling/disabling swevent hrtimers
Make the hrtimer based events work for sysprof.

Whenever a swevent is scheduled out, the hrtimer is canceled.
When it is scheduled back in, the timer is restarted. This
happens every scheduler tick, which means the timer never
expired because it was getting repeatedly restarted over and
over with the same period.

To fix that, save the remaining time when disabling; when
reenabling, use that saved time as the period instead of the
user-specified sampling period.

Also, move the starting and stopping of the hrtimers to helper
functions instead of duplicating the code.

89061d3d58 futex: Move drop_futex_key_refs out of spinlock'ed region
When requeuing tasks from one futex to another, the reference held
by the requeued task to the original futex location needs to be
dropped eventually.

Dropping the reference may ultimately lead to a call to
"iput_final" and subsequently call into filesystem- specific code -
which may be non-atomic.

It is therefore safer to defer this drop operation until after the
futex_hash_bucket spinlock has been dropped.

237c80c5c8 rcu: Fix TREE_PREEMPT_RCU CPU_HOTPLUG bad-luck hang
If the following sequence of events occurs, then
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU will hang waiting for a grace period to
complete, eventually OOMing the system:

o	A TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted on a system
	with more than 64 physical CPUs present (32 on a 32-bit system).
	Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted
	with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the
	physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures.

o	A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section
	while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
	structure.

o	All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure
	record quiescent states for the current grace period.

o	All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough
	physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure).
	This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node
	structure.

At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent
state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current
grace period never completes.

The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock
possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is
offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf
rcu_node structure.  This will cause the next invocation of
force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period.

Without this fix, this hang can be triggered in an hour or so on
some machines with rcutorture and random CPU onlining/offlining.
With this fix, these same machines pass a full 10 hours of this
sort of abuse.

37c72e56f6 rcu: Prevent RCU IPI storms in presence of high call_rcu() load
As the number of callbacks on a given CPU rises, invoke
force_quiescent_state() only every blimit number of callbacks
(defaults to 10,000), and even then only if no other CPU has
invoked force_quiescent_state() in the meantime.

This should fix the performance regression reported by Nick.

2bc872036e futex: Check for NULL keys in match_futex
If userspace tries to perform a requeue_pi on a non-requeue_pi waiter,
it will find the futex_q->requeue_pi_key to be NULL and OOPS.

Check for NULL in match_futex() instead of doing explicit NULL pointer
checks on all call sites.  While match_futex(NULL, NULL) returning
false is a little odd, it's still correct as we expect valid key
references.

pm_qos_power_open got its lock_kernel() calls from the open() pushdown.  A

pm_qos_array and "name".  pm_qos_array doesn't change (things pointed to

pm_qos_lock).  Accesses to "name" are totally unprotected with or without

92f6a5e37a sched: Do less agressive buddy clearing
Yanmin reported a hackbench regression due to:

 > commit de69a80be3
 > Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
 > Date:   Thu Sep 17 09:01:20 2009 +0200
 >
 >     sched: Stop buddies from hogging the system

I really liked de69a80b, and it affecting hackbench shows I wasn't
crazy ;-)

So hackbench is a multi-cast, with one sender spraying multiple
receivers, who in their turn don't spray back.

This would be exactly the scenario that patch 'cures'. Previously
we would not clear the last buddy after running the next task,
allowing the sender to get back to work sooner than it otherwise
ought to have been, increasing latencies for other tasks.

Now, since those receivers don't poke back, they don't enforce the
buddy relation, which means there's nothing to re-elect the sender.

Cure this by less agressively clearing the buddy stats. Only clear
buddies when they were not chosen. It should still avoid a buddy
sticking around long after its served its time.

c44fc77084 tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to core
Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.

v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
    avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
    in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

03541f8b69 perf_event: Adjust frequency and unthrottle for non-group-leader events
The loop in perf_ctx_adjust_freq checks the frequency of sampling
event counters, and adjusts the event interval and unthrottles the
event if required, and resets the interrupt count for the event.
However, at present it only looks at group leaders.

This means that a sampling event that is not a group leader will
eventually get throttled, once its interrupt count reaches
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ --- and that is guaranteed to
happen, if the event is active for long enough, since the interrupt
count never gets reset.  Once it is throttled it never gets
unthrottled, so it basically just stops working at that point.

This fixes it by making perf_ctx_adjust_freq use ctx->event_list
rather than ctx->group_list.  The existing spin_lock/spin_unlock
around the loop makes it unnecessary to put rcu_read_lock/
rcu_read_unlock around the list_for_each_entry_rcu().

d58e6576b0 futex: Handle spurious wake up
The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and
futex_wait_requeue_pi.

The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake /
requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one
of the syscall restart error codes.

In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals
with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error
code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the
return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test
program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in
spurious wake up accelerator :)

Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and
handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.
