Pull w/w mutex deadlock injection fix from Ingo Molnar.

This bug made the CONFIG_DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH=y option largely
useless, but wouldn't affect normal users.

b7bc9e7d80 Oleg Nesterov has been working hard in closing all the holes that can
lead to race conditions between deleting an event and accessing an event
 debugfs file. This included a fix to the debugfs system (acked by
 Greg Kroah-Hartman). We think that all the holes have been patched and
 hopefully we don't find more. I haven't marked all of them for stable
 because I need to examine them more to figure out how far back some of
 the changes need to go.
 
 Along the way, some other fixes have been made. Alexander Z Lam fixed
 some logic where the wrong buffer was being modifed.
 
 Andrew Vagin found a possible corruption for machines that actually
 allocate cpumask, as a reference to one was being zeroed out by mistake.
 
 Dhaval Giani found a bad prototype when tracing is not configured.
 
 And I not only had some changes to help Oleg, but also finally fixed
 a long standing bug that Dave Jones and others have been hitting, where
 a module unload and reload can cause the function tracing accounting
 to get screwed up.

2cfe6c4ac7 printk: Fix return of braille_register_console()
Some of my configs I test with have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set.
When I started testing against v3.11-rc4 my console went bonkers.  Using
ktest to bisect the issue, it came down to:

commit bbeddf52a "printk: move braille console support into separate
braille.[ch] files"

Looking into the patch I found the problem.  It's with the return of
braille_register_console().  As anything other than NULL is considered a
failure.

But for those of us that have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set but do not
define a "brl" or "brl=" on the command line, we still may want a
console that those with sight can still use.

Return NULL (success) if "brl" or "brl=" is not on the console line.

35114fcbe0 Revert "ptrace: PTRACE_DETACH should do flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint(child)"
This reverts commit fab840fc2d.

This commit even has the test-case to prove that the tracee
can be killed by SIGTRAP if the debugger does not remove the
breakpoints before PTRACE_DETACH.

However, this is exactly what wineserver deliberately does,
set_thread_context() calls PTRACE_ATTACH + PTRACE_DETACH just
for PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR*) in between.

So we should revert this fix and document that PTRACE_DETACH
should keep the breakpoints.

6160968cee userns: unshare_userns(&cred) should not populate cred on failure
unshare_userns(new_cred) does *new_cred = prepare_creds() before
create_user_ns() which can fail. However, the caller expects that
it doesn't need to take care of new_cred if unshare_userns() fails.

We could change the single caller, sys_unshare(), but I think it
would be more clean to avoid the side effects on failure, so with
this patch unshare_userns() does put_cred() itself and initializes
*new_cred only if create_user_ns() succeeeds.

9457158bbc tracing: Fix reset of time stamps during trace_clock changes
Fixed two issues with changing the timestamp clock with trace_clock:

 - The global buffer was reset on instance clock changes. Change this to pass
   the correct per-instance buffer
 - ftrace_now() is used to set buf->time_start in tracing_reset_online_cpus().
   This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to
   return the current time. Change this to use buffer_ftrace_now() which
   returns the current time for the correct per-instance buffer.

Also removed tracing_reset_current() because it is not used anywhere

ed5467da0e tracing: Fix fields of struct trace_iterator that are zeroed by mistake
tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains
a comment about that, but it doesn't help.

The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is
snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed.

The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to
cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was
converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask.

Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read
from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed.

The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe
can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

 - One of the recent cpufreq reverts uncovered a problem in the core
   causing the cpufreq driver module refcount to become negative after
   a system suspend-resume cycle.  Fix from Rafael J Wysocki.
 
 - The evaluation of the ACPI battery _BIX method has never worked
   correctly, because the commit that added support for it forgot to
   take the "Revision" field in the return package into account.  As
   a result, the reading of battery info doesn't work at all on some

c6c2401d8b tracing/uprobes: Fail to unregister if probe event files are in use
Uprobes suffer the same problem that kprobes have. There's a race between
writing to the "enable" file and removing the probe. The probe checks for
it being in use and if it is not, goes about deleting the probe and the
event that represents it. But the problem with that is, after it checks
if it is in use it can be enabled, and the deletion of the event (access
to the probe) will fail, as it is in use. But the uprobe will still be
deleted. This is a problem as the event can reference the uprobe that
was deleted.

The fix is to remove the event first, and check to make sure the event
removal succeeds. Then it is safe to remove the probe.

When the event exists, either ftrace or perf can enable the probe and
prevent the event from being removed.

2865a8fb44 workqueue: copy workqueue_attrs with all fields
$echo '0' > /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/xxx/numa
 $cat /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/xxx/numa

I got 1. It should be 0, the reason is copy_workqueue_attrs() called
in apply_workqueue_attrs() doesn't copy no_numa field.

Fix it by making copy_workqueue_attrs() copy ->no_numa too.  This
would also make get_unbound_pool() set a pool's ->no_numa attribute
according to the workqueue attributes used when the pool was created.
While harmelss, as ->no_numa isn't a pool attribute, this is a bit
confusing.  Clear it explicitly.

When a probe is being removed, it cleans up the event files that correspond
to the probe. But there is a race between writing to one of these files
and deleting the probe. This is especially true for the "enable" file.

				  fd = open("enable",O_WRONLY);

  probes_open()

above scenario adding a nanosleep() interval to change the timings
and after several thousand runs, it was able to trigger this bug

The unregister_trace_probe() must be done first, and if it fails it must
fail the removal of the kprobe.

Several changes have already been made by Oleg Nesterov and Masami Hiramatsu
to allow moving the unregister_probe_event() before the removal of
the probe and exit the function if it fails. This prevents the tp
structure from being used after it is freed.

Commit 3105b86a9f ("mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of

control the enabling and disabling of automatic NUMA balancing, but it
is never used.

I believe the intention was to use this in place of sched_feat_numa(NUMA).

Currently, if SCHED_DEBUG is not defined, sched_feat_numa(NUMA) will
never be changed from the initial "false".

2ba64035d0 tracing: Add comment to describe special break case in probe_remove_event_call()
The "break" used in the do_for_each_event_file() is used as an optimization
as the loop is really a double loop. The loop searches all event files
for each trace_array. There's only one matching event file per trace_array
and after we find the event file for the trace_array, the break is used
to jump to the next trace_array and start the search there.

As this is not a standard way of using "break" in C code, it requires
a comment right before the break to let people know what is going on.

2816c551c7 tracing: trace_remove_event_call() should fail if call/file is in use
Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this
call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify
outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c
need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort
if trace_remove_event_call() fails.

The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that
nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds.
debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove()
does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need
the additional checks:

- There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the
  patch checks ->perf_refcount.

- TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE,
  so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

It was finally narrowed down to unloading a module that was being traced.

It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's
a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active
tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is
registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented.
When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented.
If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above
warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until
reboot.

The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on
(and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter
all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the
notrace_hash).

When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent
the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is
function records for one module will not exist on the same page as
function records for other modules or even the core kernel.

Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are
freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with
a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all
functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be
incremented).

The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the
module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the
module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point
to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect
that.

With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer:

 Using uinput module and uinput_release function.

 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 modprobe uinput
 echo uinput_release > set_ftrace_filter
 echo function > current_tracer
 rmmod uinput
 modprobe uinput
 # check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again
 echo nop > current_tracer

 [BOOM]

The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that
can be traced within the module.

We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function.

Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record
associated to uinput_release.

Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents
uinput_release.

Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address).
This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero,
including uinput_release.

Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release
which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have
a mismatch (below zero ref count).

The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any
are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does
that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have
a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts
tracing that function.

There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions
on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions
being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not
a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload,
but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can
still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about
it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too.
Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's
function on unload and load.

2b44c4db2e freezer: set PF_SUSPEND_TASK flag on tasks that call freeze_processes
Calling freeze_processes sets a global flag that will cause any
process that calls try_to_freeze to enter the refrigerator.  It
skips sending a signal to the current task, but if the current
task ever hits try_to_freeze, all threads will be frozen and the
system will deadlock.

Set a new flag, PF_SUSPEND_TASK, on the task that calls
freeze_processes.  The flag notifies the freezer that the thread
is involved in suspend and should not be frozen.  Also add a
WARN_ON in thaw_processes if the caller does not have the
PF_SUSPEND_TASK flag set to catch if a different task calls
thaw_processes than the one that called freeze_processes, leaving
a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK permanently set on it.

Threads that spawn off a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK set (which
swsusp does) will also have PF_SUSPEND_TASK set, preventing them
from freezing while they are helping with suspend, but they need
to be dead by the time suspend is triggered, otherwise they may
run when userspace is expected to be frozen.  Add a WARN_ON in
thaw_processes if more than one thread has the PF_SUSPEND_TASK
flag set.

bf682c3159 tracing: Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear "d_subdirs"->i_private
Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every
file we are going to remove.

We need to check file->dir != NULL because event_create_dir()
can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch
moves it under the same check anyway for readability.

spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed
afaics, but I do not understand this code enough.

tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file()
can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops()
use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled.

This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete().
f_op->read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call,
all event/* files were changed to check and use ->i_private
under event_mutex.

Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can
destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but
those changes are completely orthogonal.

148519120c Revert "cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode"
Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for
repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a
significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by
Jeremy Eder:

  We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code
  that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads.
  The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so
  we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers.  We also
  have data from a large database setup where performance is also
  measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily
  share-able.

  Included below are test results from 3 test kernels:

  kernel       reverts
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  1) vanilla   upstream (no reverts)

  2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1f0

  3) test      reverts 69a37beabf
                       e11538d1f0

  In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4%
  after reverting 69a37beabf.  When
  69a37beabf is included, C0 residency
  never seems to get above 40%.  Taking that patch out gets C0 near
  100% quite often, and performance increases.

  The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @
  1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test.

  - If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency
    almost entirely in the 30,40% bin.
  - The last pair, which reverts 69a37beabf,
    shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins.

  Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the
  particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3
  test kernels.  We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where
  we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact
  boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above
  baseline.

d738ce8fdc sysctl: range checking in do_proc_dointvec_ms_jiffies_conv
When (integer) sysctl values are expressed in ms and have to be
represented internally as jiffies. The msecs_to_jiffies function
returns an unsigned long, which gets assigned to the integer.
This patch prevents the value to be assigned if bigger than
INT_MAX, done in a similar way as in cba9f3 ("Range checking in
do_proc_dointvec_(userhz_)jiffies_conv").

09d8091c02 tracing: Remove locking trace_types_lock from tracing_reset_all_online_cpus()
Commit a82274151a "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c"
added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were
several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also
encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes
the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock.

This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the
module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the
trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer
by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often
which explains why it wasn't caught right away.

Commit a82274151a was marked for stable, which means this must be
sent to stable too.

It is false-positive lockdep report. In this sutiation,
the two "wfc"s of the two work_on_cpu() are different,
they are both on stack. flush_work() can't be deadlock.

To fix this, we need to avoid the lockdep checking in this case,
thus we instroduce a internal __flush_work() which skip the lockdep.

195a8afc7a ftrace: Add check for NULL regs if ops has SAVE_REGS set
If a ftrace ops is registered with the SAVE_REGS flag set, and there's
already a ops registered to one of its functions but without the
SAVE_REGS flag, there's a small race window where the SAVE_REGS ops gets
added to the list of callbacks to call for that function before the
callback trampoline gets set to save the regs.

The problem is, the function is not currently saving regs, which opens
a small race window where the ops that is expecting regs to be passed
to it, wont. This can cause a crash if the callback were to reference
the regs, as the SAVE_REGS guarantees that regs will be set.

To fix this, we add a check in the loop case where it checks if the ops
has the SAVE_REGS flag set, and if so, it will ignore it if regs is
not set.

After the previous changes trace_array_cpu->trace_cpu and
trace_array->trace_cpu becomes write-only. Remove these members
and kill "struct trace_cpu" as well.

As a side effect this also removes memset(per_cpu_memory, 0).
It was not needed, alloc_percpu() returns zero-filled memory.

649e9c70da tracing: Introduce trace_create_cpu_file() and tracing_get_cpu()
Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy.
f_op->open/etc does:

	1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private;
	   struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr;

	2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail;

	3. do_something(tc);

But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called.
And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by
init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad.

Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even
if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with
the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc
was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the
freed/reused memory.

Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls
trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper,
tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless
the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or
even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers,
it would be trivial to change them if needed.

This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new
trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations.

Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the
result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock
which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.
