ec145babe7 time: Fix timeekeping_get_ns overflow on 32bit systems
Daniel Lezcano reported seeing multi-second stalls from
keyboard input on his T61 laptop when NOHZ and CPU_IDLE
were enabled on a 32bit kernel.

He bisected the problem down to commit
1e75fa8be9 ("time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec").

After reproducing this issue, I narrowed the problem down
to the fact that timekeeping_get_ns() returns a 64bit
nsec value that hasn't been accumulated. In some cases
this value was being then stored in timespec.tv_nsec
(which is a long).

On 32bit systems, with idle times larger then 4 seconds
(or less, depending on the value of xtime_nsec), the
returned nsec value would overflow 32bits. This limited
kept time from increasing, causing timers to not expire.

The fix is to make sure we don't directly store the
result of timekeeping_get_ns() into a tv_nsec field,
instead using a 64bit nsec value which can then be
added into the timespec via timespec_add_ns().

Steve Rostedt asked for the merge of a single commit, into both
the RCU and the perf/tracing tree:

 | Josh made a change to the tracing code that affects both the
 | work Paul McKenney and I are currently doing. At the last
 | Kernel Summit back in August, Linus said when such a case
 | exists, it is best to make a separate branch based off of his

 | by Linus will also pull in the necessary change for the other

08bedae1d0 sched: Fix load avg vs. cpu-hotplug
Commit f319da0c68 ("sched: Fix load avg vs cpu-hotplug") was an
incomplete fix:

In particular, the problem is that at the point it calls
calc_load_migrate() nr_running := 1 (the stopper thread), so move the
call to CPU_DEAD where we're sure that nr_running := 0.

Also note that we can call calc_load_migrate() without serialization, we
know the state of rq is stable since its cpu is dead, and we modify the
global state using appropriate atomic ops.

ptrace_notify() and get_signal_to_deliver() do unnecessary things
before task_work_run():

1. smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is not needed, test_and_clear_bit()

2. And we do not need the barrier at all, in this case we only
   care about the "synchronous" works added by the task itself.

3. No need to clear TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and we should not assume
   task_works is the only user of this flag.

ed3e694d "move exit_task_work() past exit_files() et.al" destroyed
the add/exit synchronization we had, the caller itself should ensure
task_work_add() can't race with the exiting task.

However, this is not convenient/simple, and the only user which tries
to do this is buggy (see the next patch). Unless the task is current,
there is simply no way to do this in general.

Change exit_task_work()->task_work_run() to use the dummy "work_exited"

0bd1189e23 Merge branch 'for-3.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "It's later than I'd like but well the timing just didn't work out this
  time.

  There are three bug fixes.  One from before 3.6-rc1 and two from the
  new CPU hotplug code.  Kudos to Lai for discovering all of them and
  providing fixes.

   * Atomicity bug when clearing a flag and setting another.  The two
     operation should have been atomic but wasn't.  This bug has existed
     for a long time but is unlikely to have actually happened.  Fix is
     safe.  Marked for -stable.

   * If CPU hotplug cycles happen back-to-back before workers finish the
     previous cycle, the states could get out of sync and it could get
     stuck.  Fixed by waiting for workers to complete before finishing
     hotplug cycle.

   * While CPU hotplug is in progress, idle workers could be depleted
     which can then lead to deadlock.  I think both happening together
     is highly unlikely but still better to fix it and the fix isn't too
     scary.

  There's another workqueue related regression which reported a few days
  ago:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47301

  It's a bit of head scratcher but there is a semi-reliable reproduce
  case, so I'm hoping to resolve it soonish."

ee378aa49b workqueue: fix possible idle worker depletion across CPU hotplug
To simplify both normal and CPU hotplug paths, worker management is
prevented while CPU hoplug is in progress.  This is achieved by CPU
hotplug holding the same exclusion mechanism used by workers to ensure
there's only one manager per pool.

If someone else seems to be performing the manager role, workers
proceed to execute work items.  CPU hotplug using the same mechanism
can lead to idle worker depletion because all workers could proceed to
execute work items while CPU hotplug is in progress and CPU hotplug
itself wouldn't actually perform the worker management duty - it
doesn't guarantee that there's an idle worker left when it releases
management.

This idle worker depletion, under extreme circumstances, can break
forward-progress guarantee and thus lead to deadlock.

This patch fixes the bug by using separate mechanisms for manager
exclusion among workers and hotplug exclusion.  For manager exclusion,
POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was restored by the previous patch is
used.  pool->manager_mutex is now only used for exclusion between the
elected manager and CPU hotplug.  The elected manager won't proceed
without holding pool->manager_mutex.

This ensures that the worker which won the manager position can't skip
managing while CPU hotplug is in progress.  It will block on
manager_mutex and perform management after CPU hotplug is complete.

Note that hotplug may happen while waiting for manager_mutex.  A
manager isn't either on idle or busy list and thus the hoplug code
can't unbind/rebind it.  Make the manager handle its own un/rebinding.

552a37e936 workqueue: restore POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS
This patch restores POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was replaced by
pool->manager_mutex by 6037315269 "workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq
manager exclusion".

There's a subtle idle worker depletion bug across CPU hotplug events
and we need to distinguish an actual manager and CPU hotplug
preventing management.  POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS will be used for the
former and manager_mutex the later.

This patch just lays POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS on top of the existing
manager_mutex and doesn't introduce any synchronization changes.  The
next patch will update it.

Note that this patch fixes a non-critical anomaly where
too_many_workers() may return %true spuriously while CPU hotplug is in
progress.  While the issue could schedule idle timer spuriously, it
didn't trigger any actual misbehavior.

ec58815ab0 workqueue: fix possible deadlock in idle worker rebinding
Currently, rebind_workers() and idle_worker_rebind() are two-way
interlocked.  rebind_workers() waits for idle workers to finish
rebinding and rebound idle workers wait for rebind_workers() to finish
rebinding busy workers before proceeding.

Unfortunately, this isn't enough.  The second wait from idle workers
is implemented as follows.

	wait_event(gcwq->rebind_hold, !(worker->flags & WORKER_REBIND));

rebind_workers() clears WORKER_REBIND, wakes up the idle workers and
then returns.  If CPU hotplug cycle happens again before one of the
idle workers finishes the above wait_event(), rebind_workers() will
repeat the first part of the handshake - set WORKER_REBIND again and
wait for the idle worker to finish rebinding - and this leads to
deadlock because the idle worker would be waiting for WORKER_REBIND to
clear.

This is fixed by adding another interlocking step at the end -
rebind_workers() now waits for all the idle workers to finish the
above WORKER_REBIND wait before returning.  This ensures that all
rebinding steps are complete on all idle workers before the next
hotplug cycle can happen.

This problem was diagnosed by Lai Jiangshan who also posted a patch to
fix the issue, upon which this patch is based.

This is the minimal fix and further patches are scheduled for the next
merge window to simplify the CPU hotplug path.

96e65306b8 workqueue: UNBOUND -> REBIND morphing in rebind_workers() should be atomic
The compiler may compile the following code into TWO write/modify
instructions.

	worker->flags &= ~WORKER_UNBOUND;
	worker->flags |= WORKER_REBIND;

so the other CPU may temporarily see worker->flags which doesn't have
either WORKER_UNBOUND or WORKER_REBIND set and perform local wakeup
prematurely.

Fix it by using single explicit assignment via ACCESS_ONCE().

Because idle workers have another WORKER_NOT_RUNNING flag, this bug
doesn't exist for them; however, update it to use the same pattern for
consistency.

a4c96ae319 sched: Unthrottle rt runqueues in __disable_runtime()
migrate_tasks() uses _pick_next_task_rt() to get tasks from the
real-time runqueues to be migrated. When rt_rq is throttled
_pick_next_task_rt() won't return anything, in which case
migrate_tasks() can't move all threads over and gets stuck in an
infinite loop.

Instead unthrottle rt runqueues before migrating tasks.

Additionally: move unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() to rq_offline_fair()

749c8814f0 sched: Add missing call to calc_load_exit_idle()
Azat Khuzhin reported high loadavg in Linux v3.6

After checking the upstream scheduler code, I found Peter's commit:

  5167e8d541 sched/nohz: Rewrite and fix load-avg computation -- again

not fully applied, missing the call to calc_load_exit_idle().

After that idle exit in sampling window will always be calculated
to non-idle, and the load will be higher than normal.

This patch adds the missing call to calc_load_exit_idle().

f319da0c68 sched: Fix load avg vs cpu-hotplug
Rabik and Paul reported two different issues related to the same few
lines of code.

Rabik's issue is that the nr_uninterruptible migration code is wrong in
that he sees artifacts due to this (Rabik please do expand in more
detail).

Paul's issue is that this code as it stands relies on us using
stop_machine() for unplug, we all would like to remove this assumption
so that eventually we can remove this stop_machine() usage altogether.

The only reason we'd have to migrate nr_uninterruptible is so that we
could use for_each_online_cpu() loops in favour of
for_each_possible_cpu() loops, however since nr_uninterruptible() is the
only such loop and its using possible lets not bother at all.

The problem Rabik sees is (probably) caused by the fact that by
migrating nr_uninterruptible we screw rq->calc_load_active for both rqs
involved.

So don't bother with fancy migration schemes (meaning we now have to
keep using for_each_possible_cpu()) and instead fold any nr_active delta
after we migrate all tasks away to make sure we don't have any skewed
nr_active accounting.

adc78e6b99 timekeeping: Add suspend and resume of clock event devices
Some clock event devices, for example such that belong to PM domains,
need to be handled in a spcial way during the timekeeping suspend
and resume (which takes place in the system core, or "syscore",
stages of system power transitions) in analogy with clock sources.

Introduce .suspend() and .resume() callbacks for clock event devices
that will be executed by timekeeping_suspend/_resume(), respectively,
next the the clock sources' .suspend() and .resume() callbacks.

77f827de07 PM / Domains: Add power off/on function for system core suspend stage
Introduce function pm_genpd_syscore_switch() and two wrappers around
it, pm_genpd_syscore_poweroff() and pm_genpd_syscore_poweron(),
allowing the callers to let the generic PM domains framework know
that the given device is not necessary any more and its PM domain
can be turned off (the former) or that the given device will be
required immediately, so its PM domain has to be turned on (the
latter) during the system core (syscore) stage of system suspend
(or hibernation) and resume.

These functions will be used for handling devices registered as
clock sources and clock event devices that belong to PM domains.

cee58483cf time: Move ktime_t overflow checking into timespec_valid_strict
Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to
timespec_valid in commit 4e8b14526c ("time: Improve sanity checking of
timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused
timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid.

Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would
never expire, which is valid.

This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new
timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes
internal checking to use this more strict function.

f8ac4ec9c0 uprobes: Introduce MMF_HAS_UPROBES
Add the new MMF_HAS_UPROBES flag. It is set by install_breakpoint()
and it is copied by dup_mmap(), uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() checks
it to avoid the slow path if the task was never probed. Perhaps it
makes sense to check it in valid_vma(is_register => false) as well.

This needs the new dup_mmap()->uprobe_dup_mmap() hook. We can't use
uprobe_reset_state() or put MMF_HAS_UPROBES into MMF_INIT_MASK, we
need oldmm->mmap_sem to avoid the race with uprobe_register() or
mmap() from another thread.

Currently we never clear this bit, it can be false-positive after
uprobe_unregister() or uprobe_munmap() or if dup_mmap() hits the
probed VM_DONTCOPY vma. But this is fine correctness-wise and has
no effect unless the task hits the non-uprobe breakpoint.

5e5be71ab3 uprobes: Change uprobe_mmap() to ignore the errors but check fatal_signal_pending()
Once install_breakpoint() fails uprobe_mmap() "ignores" all other
uprobes and returns the error.

It was never really needed to to stop after the first error, and
in fact it was always wrong at least in -ENOTSUPP case.

Change uprobe_mmap() to ignore the errors and always return 0.
This is not what we want in the long term, but until we teach
the callers to handle the failure it would be better to remove
the pointless complications. And this doesn't look too bad, the
only "reasonable" error is ENOMEM but in this case the caller
should be oom-killed in the likely case or the system has more
serious problems.

However it makes sense to stop if fatal_signal_pending() == T.
In particular this helps if the task was oom-killed.

f1a45d0231 uprobes: Kill dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap(), simplify uprobe_mmap/munmap
1. Kill dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap(), it was only needed to calculate
   new_mm->uprobes_state.count removed by the previous patch.

   If the forking process has a pending uprobe (int3) in vma, it will
   be copied by copy_page_range(), note that it checks vma->anon_vma
   so "Don't copy ptes" is not possible after install_breakpoint()
   which does anon_vma_prepare().

2. Remove is_swbp_at_addr() and "int count" in uprobe_mmap(). Again,
   this was needed for uprobes_state.count.

   As a side effect this fixes the bug pointed out by Srikar,
   this code lacked the necessary put_uprobe().

3. uprobe_munmap() becomes a nop after the previous patch. Remove the
   meaningless code but do not remove the helper, we will need it.

647c42dfd4 uprobes: Kill uprobes_state->count
uprobes_state->count is only needed to avoid the slow path in
uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier(). It is also checked in uprobe_munmap()
but ironically its only goal to decrement this counter. However,
it is very broken. Just some examples:

- uprobe_mmap() can race with uprobe_unregister() and wrongly
  increment the counter if it hits the non-uprobe "int3". Note
  that install_breakpoint() checks ->consumers first and returns
  -EEXIST if it is NULL.

  "atomic_sub() if error" in uprobe_mmap() looks obviously wrong
  too.

- uprobe_munmap() can race with uprobe_register() and wrongly
  decrement the counter by the same reason.

- Suppose an appication tries to increase the mmapped area via
  sys_mremap(). vma_adjust() does uprobe_munmap(whole_vma) first,
  this can nullify the counter temporarily and race with another
  thread which can hit the bp, the application will be killed by
  SIGTRAP.

- Suppose an application mmaps 2 consecutive areas in the same file
  and one (or both) of these areas has uprobes. In the likely case
  mmap_region()->vma_merge() suceeds. Like above, this leads to
  uprobe_munmap/uprobe_mmap from vma_merge()->vma_adjust() but then
  mmap_region() does another uprobe_mmap(resulting_vma) and doubles
  the counter.

This patch only removes this counter and fixes the compile errors,
then we will try to cleanup the changed code and add something else
instead.

13af07df9b cgroup: revise how we re-populate root directory
When remounting cgroupfs with some subsystems added to it and some
removed, cgroup will remove all the files in root directory and then
re-popluate it.

What I'm doing here is, only remove files which belong to subsystems that
are to be unbinded, and only create files for newly-added subsystems.
The purpose is to have all other files untouched.

This is a preparation for cgroup xattr support.

- checkpatch warnings fixed
v6:
- no changes
v5:
- no changes
v4:
- refactored cgroup_clear_directory() to not use cgroup_rm_file()
- instead of going thru the list of files, get the file list using the
  subsystems
- use 'subsys_mask' instead of {added,removed}_bits and made
  cgroup_populate_dir() to match the parameters with cgroup_clear_directory()
v3:
- refresh patches after recent refactoring

a2546fae01 ftrace: Add -mfentry to Makefile on function tracer
Thanks to Andi Kleen, gcc 4.6.0 now supports -mfentry for x86
(and hopefully soon for other archs). What this does is to have
the function profiler start at the beginning of the function
instead of after the stack is set up. As plain -pg (mcount) is
called after the stack is set up, and in some cases can have issues
with the function graph tracer. It also requires frame pointers to
be enabled.

The -mfentry now calls __fentry__ at the beginning of the function.
This allows for compiling without frame pointers and even has the
ability to access parameters if needed.

If the architecture and the compiler both support -mfentry then
use that instead.

816afe4ff9 x86/smp: Don't ever patch back to UP if we unplug cpus
We still patch SMP instructions to UP variants if we boot with a
single CPU, but not at any other time.  In particular, not if we
unplug CPUs to return to a single cpu.

Paul McKenney points out:

 mean offline overhead is 6251/48=130.2 milliseconds.

 If I remove the alternatives_smp_switch() from the offline
 path [...] the mean offline overhead is 550/42=13.1 milliseconds

Basically, we're never going to get those 120ms back, and the
code is pretty messy.

We get rid of:

 1) The "smp-alt-once" boot option. It's actually "smp-alt-boot", the
    documentation is wrong. It's now the default.

 2) The skip_smp_alternatives flag used by suspend.

 3) arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_begin() and arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_end()
    which were only used to set this one flag.

If update_wall_time() is called and the current offset isn't large
enough to accumulate, avoid re-calling timekeeping_adjust which may
change the clock freq and can cause 1ns inconsistencies with

Andreas Schwab noticed that the 1 << tk->shift could overflow if the
shift value was greater than 30, since 1 would be a 32bit long on
32bit architectures. This issue was introduced by 1e75fa8be (time:

57b30ae77b workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending()
cancel_delayed_work() can't be called from IRQ handlers due to its use
of del_timer_sync() and can't cancel work items which are already
transferred from timer to worklist.

Also, unlike other flush and cancel functions, a canceled delayed_work
would still point to the last associated cpu_workqueue.  If the
workqueue is destroyed afterwards and the work item is re-used on a
different workqueue, the queueing code can oops trying to dereference
already freed cpu_workqueue.

This patch reimplements cancel_delayed_work() using
try_to_grab_pending() and set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending().  This
allows the function to be called from IRQ handlers and makes its
behavior consistent with other flush / cancel functions.

e0aecdd874 workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work
Up to now, for delayed_works, try_to_grab_pending() couldn't be used
from IRQ handlers because IRQs may happen while
delayed_work_timer_fn() is in progress leading to indefinite -EAGAIN.

This patch makes delayed_work use the new TIMER_IRQSAFE flag for
delayed_work->timer.  This makes try_to_grab_pending() and thus
mod_delayed_work_on() safe to call from IRQ handlers.

c5f66e99b7 timer: Implement TIMER_IRQSAFE
Timer internals are protected with irq-safe locks but timer execution
isn't, so a timer being dequeued for execution and its execution
aren't atomic against IRQs.  This makes it impossible to wait for its
completion from IRQ handlers and difficult to shoot down a timer from
IRQ handlers.

This issue caused some issues for delayed_work interface.  Because
there's no way to reliably shoot down delayed_work->timer from IRQ
handlers, __cancel_delayed_work() can't share the logic to steal the
target delayed_work with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), and can only
steal delayed_works which are on queued on timer.  Similarly, the
pending mod_delayed_work() can't be used from IRQ handlers.

This patch adds a new timer flag TIMER_IRQSAFE, which makes the timer
to be executed without enabling IRQ after dequeueing such that its
dequeueing and execution are atomic against IRQ handlers.

This makes it safe to wait for the timer's completion from IRQ
handlers, for example, using del_timer_sync().  It can never be
executing on the local CPU and if executing on other CPUs it won't be
interrupted until done.

This will enable simplifying delayed_work cancel/mod interface.

Over time, timer initializers became messy with unnecessarily
duplicated code which are inconsistently spread across timer.h and
timer.c.

This patch cleans up timer initializers.

* timer.c::__init_timer() is renamed to do_init_timer().

* __TIMER_INITIALIZER() added.  It takes @flags and all initializers
  are wrappers around it.

* init_timer[_on_stack]_key() now take @flags.

* __init_timer[_on_stack]() added.  They take @flags and all init
  macros are wrappers around them.

* __setup_timer[_on_stack]() added.  It uses __init_timer() and takes
  @flags.  All setup macros are wrappers around the two.

Note that this patch doesn't add missing init/setup combinations -
e.g. init_timer_deferrable_on_stack().  Adding missing ones is

c7a3a88c93 uprobes: Fix mmap_region()'s mm->mm_rb corruption if uprobe_mmap() fails
This patch fixes:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843640

If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path
does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma
from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how
William noticed this bug.

Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in
fact it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until
at least we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from
install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register().

For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the
probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register()
succeeds if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail
in this case.

dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason,
fork() can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if
it wins the race and does install_breakpoint() first.

And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return
success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error
code from uprobe_mmap().

dbf2576e37 workqueue: make all workqueues non-reentrant
By default, each per-cpu part of a bound workqueue operates separately
and a work item may be executing concurrently on different CPUs.  The
behavior avoids some cross-cpu traffic but leads to subtle weirdities
and not-so-subtle contortions in the API.

* There's no sane usefulness in allowing a single work item to be
  executed concurrently on multiple CPUs.  People just get the
  behavior unintentionally and get surprised after learning about it.
  Most either explicitly synchronize or use non-reentrant/ordered
  workqueue but this is error-prone.

* flush_work() can't wait for multiple instances of the same work item
  on different CPUs.  If a work item is executing on cpu0 and then
  queued on cpu1, flush_work() can only wait for the one on cpu1.

  Unfortunately, work items can easily cross CPU boundaries
  unintentionally when the queueing thread gets migrated.  This means
  that if multiple queuers compete, flush_work() can't even guarantee
  that the instance queued right before it is finished before
  returning.

* flush_work_sync() was added to work around some of the deficiencies
  of flush_work().  In addition to the usual flushing, it ensures that
  all currently executing instances are finished before returning.
  This operation is expensive as it has to walk all CPUs and at the
  same time fails to address competing queuer case.

  Incorrectly using flush_work() when flush_work_sync() is necessary
  is an easy error to make and can lead to bugs which are difficult to
  reproduce.

* Similar problems exist for flush_delayed_work[_sync]().

Other than the cross-cpu access concern, there's no benefit in
allowing parallel execution and it's plain silly to have this level of
contortion for workqueue which is widely used from core code to
extremely obscure drivers.

This patch makes all workqueues non-reentrant.  If a work item is
executing on a different CPU when queueing is requested, it is always
queued to that CPU.  This guarantees that any given work item can be
executing on one CPU at maximum and if a work item is queued and
executing, both are on the same CPU.

The only behavior change which may affect workqueue users negatively
is that non-reentrancy overrides the affinity specified by
queue_work_on().  On a reentrant workqueue, the affinity specified by
queue_work_on() is always followed.  Now, if the work item is
executing on one of the CPUs, the work item will be queued there
regardless of the requested affinity.  I've reviewed all workqueue
users which request explicit affinity, and, fortunately, none seems to
be crazy enough to exploit parallel execution of the same work item.

This adds an additional busy_hash lookup if the work item was
previously queued on a different CPU.  This shouldn't be noticeable
under any sane workload.  Work item queueing isn't a very
high-frequency operation and they don't jump across CPUs all the time.
In a micro benchmark to exaggerate this difference - measuring the
time it takes for two work items to repeatedly jump between two CPUs a
number (10M) of times with busy_hash table densely populated, the
difference was around 3%.

While the overhead is measureable, it is only visible in pathological
cases and the difference isn't huge.  This change brings much needed
sanity to workqueue and makes its behavior consistent with timer.  I
think this is the right tradeoff to make.

This enables significant simplification of workqueue API.
Simplification patches will follow.

baa36046d0 cputime: Consolidate vtime handling on context switch
The archs that implement virtual cputime accounting all
flush the cputime of a task when it gets descheduled
and sometimes set up some ground initialization for the
next task to account its cputime.

These archs all put their own hooks in their context
switch callbacks and handle the off-case themselves.

Consolidate this by creating a new account_switch_vtime()
callback called in generic code right after a context switch
and that these archs must implement to flush the prev task
cputime and initialize the next task cputime related state.

7635d2fd7f workqueue: use system_highpri_wq for unbind_work
To speed cpu down processing up, use system_highpri_wq.
As scheduling priority of workers on it is higher than system_wq and
it is not contended by other normal works on this cpu, work on it
is processed faster than system_wq.

tj: CPU up/downs care quite a bit about latency these days.  This
    shouldn't hurt anything and makes sense.

e2b6a6d570 workqueue: use system_highpri_wq for highpri workers in rebind_workers()
In rebind_workers(), we do inserting a work to rebind to cpu for busy workers.
Currently, in this case, we use only system_wq. This makes a possible
error situation as there is mismatch between cwq->pool and worker->pool.

To prevent this, we should use system_highpri_wq for highpri worker
to match theses. This implements it.

1aabe902ca workqueue: introduce system_highpri_wq
Commit 3270476a6c ('workqueue: reimplement
WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_pool') introduce separate worker pool
for HIGHPRI. When we handle busyworkers for gcwq, it can be normal worker
or highpri worker. But, we don't consider this difference in rebind_workers(),
we use just system_wq for highpri worker. It makes mismatch between
cwq->pool and worker->pool.

It doesn't make error in current implementation, but possible in the future.
Now, we introduce system_highpri_wq to use proper cwq for highpri workers
in rebind_workers(). Following patch fix this issue properly.

tj: Even apart from rebinding, having system_highpri_wq generally
    makes sense.

If we do __queue_delayed_work_on() with CPU A on CPU B,

4e8b14526c time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs
Unexpected behavior could occur if the time is set to a value large
enough to overflow a 64bit ktime_t (which is something larger then the
year 2262).

Also unexpected behavior could occur if large negative offsets are
injected via adjtimex.

So this patch improves the sanity check timekeeping inputs by
improving the timespec_valid() check, and then makes better use of
timespec_valid() to make sure we don't set the time to an invalid
negative value or one that overflows ktime_t.

Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to overflowing
ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation cause the overflow.

a2140fc0cb audit: fix refcounting in audit-tree
Refcounting of fsnotify_mark in audit tree is broken.  E.g:

                              refcount
create_chunk
  alloc_chunk                 1
  fsnotify_add_mark           2

untag_chunk
  fsnotify_get_mark           3
  fsnotify_destroy_mark
    audit_tree_freeing_mark   2
  fsnotify_put_mark           1
  fsnotify_put_mark           0
  via destroy_list
    fsnotify_mark_destroy    -1

This was reported by various people as triggering Oops when stopping auditd.

We could just remove the put_mark from audit_tree_freeing_mark() but that would
break freeing via inode destruction.  So this patch simply omits a put_mark
after calling destroy_mark or adds a get_mark before.

The additional get_mark is necessary where there's no other put_mark after
fsnotify_destroy_mark() since it assumes that the caller is holding a reference
(or the inode is keeping the mark pinned, not the case here AFAICS).

Correct a long standing omission and use struct pid in the owner
field of struct ip6_flowlabel when the share type is IPV6_FL_S_PROCESS.
This guarantees we don't have issues when pid wraparound occurs.

Use a kuid_t in the owner field of struct ip6_flowlabel when the
share type is IPV6_FL_S_USER to add user namespace support.

In /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel capture the current pid namespace when
opening the file and release the pid namespace when the file is
closed ensuring we print the pid owner value that is meaning to
the reader of the file.  Similarly use from_kuid_munged to print
uid values that are meaningful to the reader of the file.

This requires exporting pid_nr_ns so that ipv6 can continue to built
as a module.  Yoiks what silliness

23657bb192 workqueue: add missing wmb() in clear_work_data()
Any operation which clears PENDING should be preceded by a wmb to
guarantee that the next PENDING owner sees all the changes made before
PENDING release.

There are only two places where PENDING is cleared -
set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() and clear_work_data().  The caller of
the former already does smp_wmb() but the latter doesn't have any.

Move the wmb above set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() into it and add
one to clear_work_data().

There hasn't been any report related to this issue, and, given how
clear_work_data() is used, it is extremely unlikely to have caused any
actual problems on any architecture.

1265057fa0 workqueue: fix CPU binding of flush_delayed_work[_sync]()
delayed_work encodes the workqueue to use and the last CPU in
delayed_work->work.data while it's on timer.  The target CPU is
implicitly recorded as the CPU the timer is queued on and
delayed_work_timer_fn() queues delayed_work->work to the CPU it is
running on.

Unfortunately, this leaves flush_delayed_work[_sync]() no way to find
out which CPU the delayed_work was queued for when they try to
re-queue after killing the timer.  Currently, it chooses the local CPU
flush is running on.  This can unexpectedly move a delayed_work queued
on a specific CPU to another CPU and lead to subtle errors.

There isn't much point in trying to save several bytes in struct
delayed_work, which is already close to a hundred bytes on 64bit with
all debug options turned off.  This patch adds delayed_work->cpu to
remember the CPU it's queued for.

Note that if the timer is migrated during CPU down, the work item
could be queued to the downed global_cwq after this change.  As a
detached global_cwq behaves like an unbound one, this doesn't change
much for the delayed_work.

a35b6466aa sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup hierarchies
Peter Portante reported that for large cgroup hierarchies (and or on
large CPU counts) we get immense lock contention on rq->lock and stuff
stops working properly.

His workload was a ton of processes, each in their own cgroup,
everybody idling except for a sporadic wakeup once every so often.

It was found that:

  schedule()
    idle_balance()
      load_balance()
        local_irq_save()
        double_rq_lock()
        update_h_load()
          walk_tg_tree(tg_load_down)
            tg_load_down()

Results in an entire cgroup hierarchy walk under rq->lock for every
new-idle balance and since new-idle balance isn't throttled this
results in a lot of work while holding the rq->lock.

This patch does two things, it removes the work from under rq->lock
based on the good principle of race and pray which is widely employed
in the load-balancer as a whole. And secondly it throttles the
update_h_load() calculation to max once per jiffy.

I considered excluding update_h_load() for new-idle balance
all-together, but purely relying on regular balance passes to update
this data might not work out under some rare circumstances where the
new-idle busiest isn't the regular busiest for a while (unlikely, but
a nightmare to debug if someone hits it and suffers).

f97f8f06a4 smpboot: Provide infrastructure for percpu hotplug threads
Provide a generic interface for setting up and tearing down percpu
threads.

On registration the threads for already online cpus are created and
started. On deregistration (modules) the threads are stoppped.

During hotplug operations the threads are created, started, parked and
unparked. The datastructure for registration provides a pointer to
percpu storage space and optional setup, cleanup, park, unpark
functions. These functions are called when the thread state changes.

Each implementation has to provide a function which is queried and
returns whether the thread should run and the thread function itself.

The core code handles all state transitions and avoids duplicated code
in the call sites.

5d01bbd111 rcu: Yield simpler
The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the
system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done.

Now looking at the code it's functionality is:

 Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way
 Arm a timer with 2 ticks
 schedule()

Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO
and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a
per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and
brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO"
bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a
lot of code with extra threads and complexity.

It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule
away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in
yielded state and the cpu is not idle.

That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the
cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away,
but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If
that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from
idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

e3756477ae printk: Fix calculation of length used to discard records
While tracking down a weird buffer overflow issue in a program that
looked to be sane, I started double checking the length returned by
syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, ...) to make sure it wasn't overflowing
the buffer.

Sure enough, it was.  I saw this in strace:

  11339 syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, "<5>[244017.708129] REISERFS (dev"..., 8192) = 8279

It turns out that the loops that calculate how much space the entries
will take when they're copied don't include the newlines and prefixes
that will be included in the final output since prev flags is passed as
zero.

This patch properly accounts for it and fixes the overflow.

Revert commit 45226e9 (NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage
on resume) which breaks resume from system suspend on my SH7372
Mackerel board (by causing a NULL pointer dereference to happen) and
is generally wrong, because it abuses the CPU hotplug functionality
in a shamelessly blatant way.

The original issue should be addressed through appropriate syscore

3c18c10bde tracing: Fix wakeup_rt self test on virtual machines
The warkeup_rt self test used msleep() calls to wait for real time
tasks to wake up and run. On bare-metal hardware, this was enough as
the scheduler should let the RT task run way before the non-RT task
wakes up from the msleep(). If it did not, then that would mean the
scheduler was broken.

But when dealing with virtual machines, this is a different story.
If the RT task wakes up on a VCPU, it's up to the host to decide when
that task gets to schedule, which can be far behind the time that the
non-RT task wakes up. In this case, the test would fail incorrectly.

As we are not testing the scheduler, but instead the wake up tracing,
we can use completions to wait and not depend on scheduler timings
to see if events happen on time.

1d17d17484 time: Fix adjustment cleanup bug in timekeeping_adjust()
Tetsuo Handa reported that sporadically the system clock starts
counting up too quickly which is enough to confuse the hangcheck

Commit 2a8c0883 "time: Move xtime_nsec adjustment underflow handling
timekeeping_adjust" overlooked this exit path:

        } else
                return;

which should really be a proper exit sequence, fixing the bug as a
side effect.

Also make the flow more readable by properly balancing curly

8376fe22c7 workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()
Workqueue was lacking a mechanism to modify the timeout of an already
pending delayed_work.  delayed_work users have been working around
this using several methods - using an explicit timer + work item,
messing directly with delayed_work->timer, and canceling before
re-queueing, all of which are error-prone and/or ugly.

This patch implements mod_delayed_work[_on]() which behaves similarly
to mod_timer() - if the delayed_work is idle, it's queued with the
given delay; otherwise, its timeout is modified to the new value.
Zero @delay guarantees immediate execution.

v2: Updated to reflect try_to_grab_pending() changes.  Now safe to be
    called from bh context.

bbb68dfaba workqueue: mark a work item being canceled as such
There can be two reasons try_to_grab_pending() can fail with -EAGAIN.
One is when someone else is queueing or deqeueing the work item.  With
the previous patches, it is guaranteed that PENDING and queued state
will soon agree making it safe to busy-retry in this case.

The other is if multiple __cancel_work_timer() invocations are racing
one another.  __cancel_work_timer() grabs PENDING and then waits for
running instances of the target work item on all CPUs while holding
PENDING and !queued.  try_to_grab_pending() invoked from another task
will keep returning -EAGAIN while the current owner is waiting.

Not distinguishing the two cases is okay because __cancel_work_timer()
is the only user of try_to_grab_pending() and it invokes
wait_on_work() whenever grabbing fails.  For the first case, busy
looping should be fine but wait_on_work() doesn't cause any critical
problem.  For the latter case, the new contender usually waits for the
same condition as the current owner, so no unnecessarily extended
busy-looping happens.  Combined, these make __cancel_work_timer()
technically correct even without irq protection while grabbing PENDING
or distinguishing the two different cases.

While the current code is technically correct, not distinguishing the
two cases makes it difficult to use try_to_grab_pending() for other
purposes than canceling because it's impossible to tell whether it's
safe to busy-retry grabbing.

This patch adds a mechanism to mark a work item being canceled.
try_to_grab_pending() now disables irq on success and returns -EAGAIN
to indicate that grabbing failed but PENDING and queued states are
gonna agree soon and it's safe to busy-loop.  It returns -ENOENT if
the work item is being canceled and it may stay PENDING && !queued for
arbitrary amount of time.

__cancel_work_timer() is modified to mark the work canceling with
WORK_OFFQ_CANCELING after grabbing PENDING, thus making
try_to_grab_pending() fail with -ENOENT instead of -EAGAIN.  Also, it
invokes wait_on_work() iff grabbing failed with -ENOENT.  This isn't
necessary for correctness but makes it consistent with other future
users of try_to_grab_pending().

v2: try_to_grab_pending() was testing preempt_count() to ensure that
    the caller has disabled preemption.  This triggers spuriously if
    !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT.  Use preemptible() instead.  Reported by
    Fengguang Wu.

v3: Updated so that try_to_grab_pending() disables irq on success
    rather than requiring preemption disabled by the caller.  This
    makes busy-looping easier and will allow try_to_grap_pending() to
    be used from bh/irq contexts.

* Make try_to_grab_pending() use -EAGAIN instead of -1 for

b549007727 workqueue: introduce WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_*
Low WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS bits of work_struct->data contain
WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_* and flush color.  If the work item is queued, the
rest point to the cpu_workqueue with WORK_STRUCT_CWQ set; otherwise,
WORK_STRUCT_CWQ is clear and the bits contain the last CPU number -
either a real CPU number or one of WORK_CPU_*.

Scheduled addition of mod_delayed_work[_on]() requires an additional
flag, which is used only while a work item is off queue.  There are
more than enough bits to represent off-queue CPU number on both 32 and
64bits.  This patch introduces WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_* which occupy the lower
part of the @work->data high bits while off queue.  This patch doesn't
define any actual OFFQ flag yet.

Off-queue CPU number is now shifted by WORK_OFFQ_CPU_SHIFT, which adds
the number of bits used by OFFQ flags to WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_SHIFT, to
make room for OFFQ flags.

To avoid shift width warning with large WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_BITS, ulong
cast is added to WORK_STRUCT_NO_CPU and, just in case, BUILD_BUG_ON()
to check that there are enough bits to accomodate off-queue CPU number
is added.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

57469821fd workqueue: unify local CPU queueing handling
Queueing functions have been using different methods to determine the
local CPU.

* queue_work() superflously uses get/put_cpu() to acquire and hold the
  local CPU across queue_work_on().

* delayed_work_timer_fn() uses smp_processor_id().

* queue_delayed_work() calls queue_delayed_work_on() with -1 @cpu
  which is interpreted as the local CPU.

* flush_delayed_work[_sync]() were using raw_smp_processor_id().

* __queue_work() interprets %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND as local CPU if the
  target workqueue is bound one but nobody uses this.

This patch converts all functions to uniformly use %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND
to indicate local CPU and use the local binding feature of
__queue_work().  unlikely() is dropped from %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND handling
in __queue_work().

8930caba3d workqueue: disable irq while manipulating PENDING
Queueing operations use WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT to synchronize access
to the target work item.  They first try to claim the bit and proceed
with queueing only after that succeeds and there's a window between
PENDING being set and the actual queueing where the task can be
interrupted or preempted.

There's also a similar window in process_one_work() when clearing
PENDING.  A work item is dequeued, gcwq->lock is released and then
PENDING is cleared and the worker might get interrupted or preempted
between releasing gcwq->lock and clearing PENDING.

cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() tries to claim or steal PENDING.  The
function assumes that a work item with PENDING is either queued or in
the process of being [de]queued.  In the latter case, it busy-loops
until either the work item loses PENDING or is queued.  If canceling
coincides with the above described interrupts or preemptions, the
canceling task will busy-loop while the queueing or executing task is
preempted.

This patch keeps irq disabled across claiming PENDING and actual
queueing and moves PENDING clearing in process_one_work() inside
gcwq->lock so that busy looping from PENDING && !queued doesn't wait
for interrupted/preempted tasks.  Note that, in process_one_work(),
setting last CPU and clearing PENDING got merged into single
operation.

This removes possible long busy-loops and will allow using
try_to_grab_pending() from bh and irq contexts.

v2: __queue_work() was testing preempt_count() to ensure that the
    caller has disabled preemption.  This triggers spuriously if
    !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT.  Use preemptible() instead.  Reported by
    Fengguang Wu.

v3: Disable irq instead of preemption.  IRQ will be disabled while
    grabbing gcwq->lock later anyway and this allows using
    try_to_grab_pending() from bh and irq contexts.

959d1af8cf workqueue: add missing smp_wmb() in process_one_work()
WORK_STRUCT_PENDING is used to claim ownership of a work item and
process_one_work() releases it before starting execution.  When
someone else grabs PENDING, all pre-release updates to the work item
should be visible and all updates made by the new owner should happen
afterwards.

Grabbing PENDING uses test_and_set_bit() and thus has a full barrier;
however, clearing doesn't have a matching wmb.  Given the preceding
spin_unlock and use of clear_bit, I don't believe this can be a
problem on an actual machine and there hasn't been any related report
but it still is theretically possible for clear_pending to permeate
upwards and happen before work->entry update.

Add an explicit smp_wmb() before work_clear_pending().

2d53492620 irqdomain changes for Linux v3.6
Round of refactoring and enhancements to irq_domain infrastructure. This
 series starts the process of simplifying irqdomain. The ultimate goal is
 to merge LEGACY, LINEAR and TREE mappings into a single system, but had
 to back off from that after some last minute bugs. Instead it mainly
 reorganizes the code and ensures that the reverse map gets populated
 when the irq is mapped instead of the first time it is looked up.
 
 Merging of the irq_domain types is deferred to v3.7
 
 In other news, this series adds helpers for creating static mappings on
 a linear or tree mapping.

907aed48f6 mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq context
This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of
PF_MEMALLOC.

Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being
associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with
- thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in
interrupts (hard or soft) context.

Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some
trickery.  This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens
to be preempted by the softirq.  It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags
mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the
softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag.

The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't
leak into the softirq.  The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag
cannot leak back into the preempted process.  This should be safe due to
the following reasons

Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be
	executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq
	handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags
	should not leak to an unrelated softirq.

Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be
	preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited
	by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in
	reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is
	set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and
	soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
	flag.

If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used
        instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted,
        the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.

9adb62a5df mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat
When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a
fallback zonelist should be created for the new node.  There's code to try
to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below:

	/*
	 * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding
	 * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here.
	 */
	mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex);
	build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL);
	mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex);

But it doesn't work as expected.  When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the
new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't
been called yet.  And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for
online nodes as:

        for_each_online_node(nid) {
                pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);

                build_zonelists(pgdat);
                build_zonelist_cache(pgdat);
        }

Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't.  So
add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for
the new pgdat too.

4e250fdde9 time: Remove all direct references to timekeeper
Ingo noted that the numerous timekeeper.value references made
the timekeeping code ugly and caused many long lines that
had to be broken up. He recommended replacing timekeeper.value
references with tk->value.

This patch provides a local tk value for all top level time
functions and sets it to &timekeeper. Then all timekeeper
access is done via a tk pointer.

6d0ef903e2 time: Clean up offs_real/wall_to_mono and offs_boot/total_sleep_time updates
For performance reasons, we maintain ktime_t based duplicates of
wall_to_monotonic (offs_real) and total_sleep_time (offs_boot).

Since large problems could occur (such as the resume regression
on 3.5-rc7, or the leapsecond hrtimer issue) if these value
pairs were to be inconsistently updated, this patch this cleans
up how we modify these value pairs to ensure we are always
consistent.

As a side-effect this is also more efficient as we only
caulculate the duplicate values when they are changed,
rather then every update_wall_time call.

This also provides WARN_ONs to detect if future changes break
the invariants.

e6dab5ffab perf/trace: Add ability to set a target task for events
A few events are interesting not only for a current task.
For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task
which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such
events will be delivered to a target task too.

Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task().

The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra.

I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

ae6aa16fdc kprobes: introduce ftrace based optimization
Introduce function trace based kprobes optimization.

With using ftrace optimization, kprobes on the mcount calling
address, use ftrace's mcount call instead of breakpoint.
Furthermore, this optimization works with preemptive kernel
not like as current jump-based optimization. Of cource,
this feature works only if the probe is on mcount call.

Only if kprobe.break_handler is set, that probe is not
optimized with ftrace (nor put on ftrace). The reason why this
limitation comes is that this break_handler may be used only
from jprobes which changes ip address (for fetching the function
arguments), but function tracer ignores modified ip address.

Changes in v2:
 - Fix ftrace_ops registering right after setting its filter.
 - Unregister ftrace_ops if there is no kprobe using.
 - Remove notrace dependency from __kprobes macro.

72ef3794c5 kprobes: Inverse taking of module_mutex with kprobe_mutex
Currently module_mutex is taken before kprobe_mutex, but this
can cause issues when we have kprobes register ftrace, as the ftrace
mutex is taken before enabling a tracepoint, which currently takes
the module mutex.

If module_mutex is taken before kprobe_mutex, then we can not
have kprobes use the ftrace infrastructure.

There seems to be no reason that the kprobe_mutex can't be taken
before the module_mutex. Running lockdep shows that it is safe
among the kernels I've run.

If the arch supports saving regs, then it will make sure that regs is
at least not NULL in the callback.

If the arch does not support saving regs, it makes sure that the
registering of the ftrace_ops that requests saving regs fails.
It then tests the registering of the ftrace_ops succeeds if the
'IF_SUPPORTED' flag is set. Then it makes sure that the regs passed to
the function is NULL.

4740974a68 ftrace: Add default recursion protection for function tracing
As more users of the function tracer utility are being added, they do
not always add the necessary recursion protection. To protect from
function recursion due to tracing, if the callback ftrace_ops does not
specifically specify that it protects against recursion (by setting
the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE flag), the list operation will be
called by the mcount trampoline which adds recursion protection.

If the flag is set, then the function will be called directly with no
extra protection.

Note, the list operation is called if more than one function callback
is registered, or if the arch does not support all of the function
tracer features.

65fed8f6f2 resource: make sure requested range is included in the root range
When the requested range is outside of the root range the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split will cause an infinite recursion which will
overflow the stack as seen in the warning bellow.

This particular stack overflow was caused by requesting the
(100000000-107ffffff) range while the root range was (0-ffffffff).  In
this case __request_resource would return the whole root range as
conflict range (i.e.  0-ffffffff).  Then, the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split would continue the recursion requesting the
new range as (conflict->end+1, end) which incidentally in this case
equals the originally requested range.

This patch aborts looking for an usable range when the request does not
intersect with the root range.  When the request partially overlaps with
the root range, it ajust the request to fall in the root range and then
continues with the new request.

When the request is modified or aborted errors and a stack trace are
logged to allow catching the errors in the upper layers.

fd4b616b0f sysctl: suppress kmemleak messages
register_sysctl_table() is a strange function, as it makes internal
allocations (a header) to register a sysctl_table.  This header is a
handle to the table that is created, and can be used to unregister the
table.  But if the table is permanent and never unregistered, the header
acts the same as a static variable.

Unfortunately, this allocation of memory that is never expected to be
freed fools kmemleak in thinking that we have leaked memory.  For those
sysctl tables that are never unregistered, and have no pointer referencing
them, kmemleak will think that these are memory leaks:

unreferenced object 0xffff880079fb9d40 (size 192):

The sysctl_base_table used by sysctl itself is one such instance that
registers the table to never be unregistered.

Use kmemleak_not_leak() to suppress the kmemleak false positive.

f19b9f74b7 fork: fix error handling in dup_task()
The function dup_task() may fail at the following function calls in the
following order.

0) alloc_task_struct_node()
1) alloc_thread_info_node()
2) arch_dup_task_struct()

Error by 0) is not a matter, it can just return.  But error by 1) requires
releasing task_struct allocated by 0) before it returns.  Likewise, error
by 2) requires releasing task_struct and thread_info allocated by 0) and
1).

The existing error handling calls free_task_struct() and
free_thread_info() which do not only release task_struct and thread_info,
but also call architecture specific arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info().

The problem is that task_struct and thread_info are not fully initialized
yet at this point, but arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info() are called with them.

For example, x86 defines its own arch_release_task_struct() that releases
a task_xstate.  If alloc_thread_info_node() fails in dup_task(),
arch_release_task_struct() is called with task_struct which is just
allocated and filled with garbage in this error handling.

This actually happened with tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh

	# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
		./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		--min-order=0 --ignore-gfp-wait=0 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

In order to fix this issue, make free_{task_struct,thread_info}() not to
call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() and call
arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() implicitly where needed.

Default arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are
defined as empty by default.  So this change only affects the
architectures which implement their own arch_release_task_struct() or
arch_release_thread_info() as listed below.

arch_release_task_struct(): x86, sh
arch_release_thread_info(): mn10300, tile

0f20784d4b kmod: avoid deadlock from recursive kmod call
The system deadlocks (at least since 2.6.10) when
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC) request triggers
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC) request.

This is because "khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at
wait_for_completion() in do_fork() since the worker thread was created
with CLONE_VFORK flag" and "the worker thread cannot call complete()
because do_execve() is blocked at UMH_WAIT_PROC request" and "the khelper
thread cannot start processing UMH_WAIT_PROC request because the khelper
thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in
do_fork()".

The easiest example to observe this deadlock is to use a corrupted
/sbin/hotplug binary (like shown below).

  # : > /tmp/dummy
  # chmod 755 /tmp/dummy
  # echo /tmp/dummy > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
  # modprobe whatever

call_usermodehelper("/tmp/dummy", UMH_WAIT_EXEC) is called from
kobject_uevent_env() in lib/kobject_uevent.c upon loading/unloading a
module.  do_execve("/tmp/dummy") triggers a call to
request_module("binfmt-0000") from search_binary_handler() which in turn
calls call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC).

In order to avoid deadlock, as a for-now and easy-to-backport solution, do
not try to call wait_for_completion() in call_usermodehelper_exec() if the
worker thread was created by khelper thread with CLONE_VFORK flag.  Future
and fundamental solution might be replacing singleton khelper thread with
some workqueue so that recursive calls up to max_active dependency loop
can be handled without deadlock.

vprintk_emit() prefix parsing should only be done for internal kernel

acc8fa41ad printk: add generic functions to find KERN_<LEVEL> headers
The current form of a KERN_<LEVEL> is "<.>".

Add printk_get_level and printk_skip_level functions to handle these
formats.

These functions centralize tests of KERN_<LEVEL> so a future modification
can change the KERN_<LEVEL> style and shorten the number of bytes consumed
by these headers.

45226e944c NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume
On the suspend/resume path the boot CPU does not go though an
offline->online transition.  This breaks the NMI detector post-resume
since it depends on PMU state that is lost when the system gets
suspended.

Fix this by forcing a CPU offline->online transition for the lockup
detector on the boot CPU during resume.

To provide more context, we enable NMI watchdog on Chrome OS.  We have
seen several reports of systems freezing up completely which indicated
that the NMI watchdog was not firing for some reason.

Debugging further, we found a simple way of repro'ing system freezes --
issuing the command 'tasket 1 sh -c "echo nmilockup > /proc/breakme"'
after the system has been suspended/resumed one or more times.

With this patch in place, the system freeze result in panics, as
expected.

These panics provide a nice stack trace for us to debug the actual issue
causing the freeze.

190320c3b6 panic: fix a possible deadlock in panic()
panic_lock is meant to ensure that panic processing takes place only on
one cpu; if any of the other cpus encounter a panic, they will spin
waiting to be shut down.

However, this causes a regression in this scenario:

1. Cpu 0 encounters a panic and acquires the panic_lock
   and proceeds with the panic processing.
2. There is an interrupt on cpu 0 that also encounters
   an error condition and invokes panic.
3. This second invocation fails to acquire the panic_lock
   and enters the infinite while loop in panic_smp_self_stop.

Thus all panic processing is stopped, and the cpu is stuck for eternity
in the while(1) inside panic_smp_self_stop.

To address this, disable local interrupts with local_irq_disable before
acquiring the panic_lock.  This will prevent interrupt handlers from
executing during the panic processing, thus avoiding this particular
problem.

since it was already initialized with zero.  And also removed return 0
in switch case with break statement
