On larger systems, because of the numerous ACPI, Bootmem and EFI messages,
the static log buffer overflows before the larger one specified by the
log_buf_len param is allocated. Minimize the overflow by allocating the
new log buffer as soon as possible.
On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from
kernel/init.c is the fallback.

Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.
Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:
echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity
instead of:
echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list
Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.
We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist
Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.
This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position.
It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio.
This patch has two change.
1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask
is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability
2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory
footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future.
In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var.
It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users.
This patch has no functional change.

Hugh says:
"The only significant loser, I think, would be page reclaim (when
concurrent with truncation): could spin for a long time waiting for
the i_mmap_mutex it expects would soon be dropped? "
Counter points:
- cpu contention makes the spin stop (need_resched())
- zap pages should be freeing pages at a higher rate than reclaim
ever can
I think the simplification of the truncate code is definitely worth it.
Effectively reverts: 2aa15890f3 ("mm: prevent concurrent
unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode") and takes out the code that
caused its problem.

In order to convert i_mmap_lock to a mutex we need a mutex equivalent to
spin_lock_nest_lock(), thus provide the mutex_lock_nest_lock() annotation.
As with spin_lock_nest_lock(), mutex_lock_nest_lock() allows annotation of
the locking pattern where an outer lock serializes the acquisition order
of nested locks. That is, if every time you lock multiple locks A, say A1
and A2 you first acquire N, the order of acquiring A1 and A2 is
irrelevant.

The ordering of the clock bases is historical due to the
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC constants. Now the hrtimer bases
have their own enumeration due to the gap between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME. So we can be more clever as most timers end up on the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC base due to the virtue of POSIX declaring that
relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not affected by time changes. In
desktop environments this is slowly changing as applications switch to
absolute timers, but I've observed empty CLOCK_REALTIME bases often
enough. There is no performance penalty or overhead when
CLOCK_REALTIME timers are active, but in case they are not we don't
skip over a full cache line.

Peter is concerned about the extra scan of CLOCK_REALTIME_COS in the
timer interrupt. Yes, I did not think about it, because the solution
was so elegant. I didn't like the extra list in timerfd when it was
proposed some time ago, but with a rcu based list the list walk it's
less horrible than the original global lock, which was held over the
list iteration.

Before the conversion of the NMI watchdog to perf event, the
watchdog timeout was 5 seconds. Now it is 60 seconds. For my
particular application, netbooks, 5 seconds was a better
timeout. With a short timeout, we catch faults earlier and are
able to send back a panic. With a 60 second timeout, the user is
unlikely to wait and will instead hit the power button, causing
us to lose the panic info.
This change configures the NMI period to watchdog_thresh and
sets the softlockup_thresh to watchdog_thresh * 2. In addition,
watchdog_thresh was reduced to 10 seconds as suggested by Ingo
Molnar.

In get_sample_period(), softlockup_thresh is integer divided by
5 before the multiplication by NSEC_PER_SEC. This results in

grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

Introduce SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION, which scales is added to
SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT and increases the resolution of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE. This patch sets the value of
SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION to 10, scaling up the weights for all
sched entities by a factor of 1024. With this extra resolution,
we can handle deeper cgroup hiearchies and the scheduler can do
better shares distribution and load load balancing on larger
systems (especially for low weight task groups).
This does not change the existing user interface, the scaled
weights are only used internally. We do not modify
prio_to_weight values or inverses, but use the original weights
when calculating the inverse which is used to scale execution
time delta in calc_delta_mine(). This ensures we do not lose
accuracy when accounting time to the sched entities. Thanks to
Nikunj Dadhania for fixing an bug in c_d_m() that broken fairness.
Below is some analysis of the performance costs/improvements of
this patch.
1. Micro-arch performance costs:
Experiment was to run Ingo's pipe_test_100k 200 times with the
task pinned to one cpu. I measured instruction, cycles and
stalled-cycles for the runs. See:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1129232/focus=1129389
for more info.
-tip (baseline):
Performance counter stats for '/root/load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs):
964,991,769 instructions # 0.82 insns per cycle
# 0.33 stalled cycles per insn
# ( +- 0.05% )
1,171,186,635 cycles # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.08% )
306,373,664 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.16% backend cycles idle ( +- 0.28% )
314,933,621 stalled-cycles-frontend # 26.89% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.34% )
1.122405684 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.05% )
-tip+patches:
Performance counter stats for './load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs):
963,624,821 instructions # 0.82 insns per cycle
# 0.33 stalled cycles per insn
# ( +- 0.04% )
1,175,215,649 cycles # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.08% )
315,321,126 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.83% backend cycles idle ( +- 0.28% )
316,835,873 stalled-cycles-frontend # 26.96% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.29% )
1.122238659 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.06% )
With this patch, instructions decrease by ~0.10% and cycles
increase by 0.27%. This doesn't look statistically significant.
The number of stalled cycles in the backend increased from
26.16% to 26.83%. This can be attributed to the shifts we do in
c_d_m() and other places. The fraction of stalled cycles in the
frontend remains about the same, at 26.96% compared to 26.89% in -tip.
2. Balancing low-weight task groups
Test setup: run 50 tasks with random sleep/busy times (biased
around 100ms) in a low weight container (with cpu.shares = 2).
Measure %idle as reported by mpstat over a 10s window.

SCHED_LOAD_SCALE is used to increase nice resolution and to
scale cpu_power calculations in the scheduler. This patch
introduces SCHED_POWER_SCALE and converts all uses of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE for scaling cpu_power to use SCHED_POWER_SCALE
instead.
This is a preparatory patch for increasing the resolution of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE, and there is no need to increase resolution
for cpu_power calculations.

A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.
Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).
This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.
Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.

This change adds support for /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace to tile.
Like x86 and sparc, by default it is set to "1", generating a one-line
printk whenever a user process crashes. By setting it to "2", we get
a much more complete userspace diagnostic at crash time, including
a user-space backtrace, register dump, and memory dump around the
address of the crash.
Some vestiges of the Tilera-internal version of this support are
removed with this patch (the show_crashinfo variable and the
arch_coredump_signal function). We retain a "crashinfo" boot parameter
which allows you to set the boot-time value of exception-trace.

While debugging I stumbled over two problems in the code that protects module
pages.
First issue is that disabling the protection before freeing init or unload of
a module is not symmetric with the enablement. For instance, if pages are set
to RO the page range from module_core to module_core + core_ro_size is
protected. If a module is unloaded the page range from module_core to
module_core + core_size is set back to RW.
So pages that were not set to RO are also changed to RW.
This is not critical but IMHO it should be symmetric.
Second issue is that while set_memory_rw & set_memory_ro are used for
RO/RW changes only set_memory_nx is involved for NX/X. One would await that
the inverse function is called when the NX protection should be removed,
which is not the case here, unless I'm missing something.

On m68k natural alignment is 2-byte boundary but we are trying to
align structures in __modver section on sizeof(void *) boundary.
This causes trouble when we try to access elements in this section
in array-like fashion when create "version" attributes for built-in
modules.
Moreover, as DaveM said, we can't reliably put structures into
independent objects, put them into a special section, and then expect
array access over them (via the section boundaries) after linking the
objects together to just "work" due to variable alignment choices in
different situations. The only solution that seems to work reliably
is to make an array of plain pointers to the objects in question and
put those pointers in the special section.

Since users of the function tracer can now pick and choose which
functions they want to trace agnostically from other users of the
function tracer, we need to pass the ops struct to the ftrace_set_filter()
functions.
The functions ftrace_set_global_filter() and ftrace_set_global_notrace()
is added to keep the old filter functions which are used to modify
the generic function tracers.

Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense
that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to
be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure
at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that
structure will trace.
Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called
indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in
entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount
from being preempted before calling the function, unless we
modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated
functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that
loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than
one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a
preempt_disable.
To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new
util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called
core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between
_sdata and _edata.

Add the enabled_functions file that is used to show all the
functions that have been enabled for tracing as well as their
ref counts. This helps seeing if any function has been registered
and what functions are being traced.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Every function has its own record that stores the instruction
pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only
two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing
for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free
flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can
be used by new functions (loaded modules).
These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just
the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as
a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace,
those functions will have its counter incremented.
When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced,
the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace.
When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes
are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then
all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions
in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function
is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter
is not incremented for this ftrace_ops.

When filtering, allocate a hash to insert the function records.
After the filtering is complete, assign it to the ftrace_ops structure.
This allows the ftrace_ops structure to have a much smaller array of
hash buckets instead of wasting a lot of memory.
A read only empty_hash is created to be the minimum size that any ftrace_ops
can point to.
When a new hash is created, it has the following steps:
o Allocate a default hash.
o Walk the function records assigning the filtered records to the hash
o Allocate a new hash with the appropriate size buckets
o Move the entries from the default hash to the new hash.

Combine the filter and notrace hashes to be accessed by a single entity,
the global_ops. The global_ops is a ftrace_ops structure that is passed

hashes so that later patches may allow each ftrace_ops to have its own
set of rules to what functions may be filtered.

When multiple users are allowed to have their own set of functions

If device drivers allocate substantial amounts of memory (above 1 MB)
in their hibernate .freeze() callbacks (or in their legacy suspend
callbcks during hibernation), the subsequent creation of hibernate
image may fail due to the lack of memory. This is the case, because
the drivers' .freeze() callbacks are executed after the hibernate
memory preallocation has been carried out and the preallocated amount
of memory may be too small to cover the new driver allocations.
Unfortunately, the drivers' .prepare() callbacks also are executed
after the hibernate memory preallocation has completed, so they are
not suitable for allocating additional memory either. Thus the only
way a driver can safely allocate memory during hibernation is to use
a hibernate/suspend notifier. However, the notifiers are called
before the freezing of user space and the drivers wanting to use them
for allocating additional memory may not know how much memory needs
to be allocated at that point.
To let device drivers overcome this difficulty rework the hibernation
sequence so that the memory preallocation is carried out after the
drivers' .prepare() callbacks have been executed, so that the
.prepare() callbacks can be used for allocating additional memory
to be used by the drivers' .freeze() callbacks. Update documentation
to match the new behavior of the code.

Martin reports that on his system hibernation occasionally fails due
to the lack of memory, because the radeon driver apparently allocates
too much of it during the device freeze stage. It turns out that the
amount of memory allocated by radeon during hibernation (and
presumably during system suspend too) depends on the utilization of
the GPU (e.g. hibernating while there are two KDE 4 sessions with
compositing enabled causes radeon to allocate more memory than for
one KDE 4 session).
In principle it should be possible to use image_size to make the
memory preallocation mechanism free enough memory for the radeon
driver, but in practice it is not easy to guess the right value
because of the way the preallocation code uses image_size. For this
reason, it seems reasonable to allow users to control the amount of
memory reserved for driver allocations made after the hibernate
preallocation, which currently is constant and amounts to 1 MB.
Introduce a new sysfs file, /sys/power/reserved_size, whose value
will be used as the amount of memory to reserve for the
post-preallocation reservations made by device drivers, in bytes.
For backwards compatibility, set its default (and initial) value to
the currently used number (1 MB).

The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.
The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
first time after it switched to oneshot mode.
In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
seconds timeframe.
The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
otherwise it would not be executing that code.
[ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
state? ]

If the inverse loadweight should be zero, function "calc_delta_mine"
calculates the inverse of "lw->weight" (in 32bit integer ops).
This calculation is actually a little bit impure (because it is
inverting something around "lw-weight"+1), especially when
"lw->weight" becomes smaller.
The correct inverse would be 1/lw->weight multiplied by
"WMULT_CONST" for fixcomma-scaling it into integers.
(So WMULT_CONST/lw->weight ...)
The old, impure algorithm took two divisions for inverting lw->weight,
the new, more exact one only takes one and an additional unlikely-if.

wait_task_stopped() tested task_stopped_code() without acquiring

task_stopped_code() testing into wait_task_stopped() and make
wait_consider_task() fall through to wait_task_continue() on 0 return.
This is for the following two reasons.
* Because the initial task_stopped_code() test is done without
acquiring siglock, it may race against SIGCONT generation. The
stopped condition might have been replaced by continued state by the
time wait_task_stopped() acquired siglock. This may lead to
unexpected failure of WNOHANG waits.
This reorganization addresses this single race case but there are
other cases - TASK_RUNNING -> TASK_STOPPED transition and EXIT_*
transitions.

The existing <asm-generic/unistd.h> mechanism doesn't really provide
enough to create the 64-bit "compat" ABI properly in a generic way,
since the compat ABI is a mix of things were you can re-use the 64-bit
versions of syscalls and things where you need a compat wrapper.
To provide this in the most direct way possible, I added two new macros
to go along with the existing __SYSCALL and __SC_3264 macros: __SC_COMP
and SC_COMP_3264. These macros take an additional argument, typically a
"compat_sys_xxx" function, which is passed to __SYSCALL if you define
__SYSCALL_COMPAT when including the header, resulting in a pointer to
the compat function being placed in the generated syscall table.
The change also adds some missing definitions to <linux/compat.h> so that
it actually has declarations for all the compat syscalls, since the
"[nr] = ##call" approach requires proper C declarations for all the
functions included in the syscall table.
Finally, compat.c defines compat_sys_sigpending() and
compat_sys_sigprocmask() even if the underlying architecture doesn't
request it, which tries to pull in undefined compat_old_sigset_t defines.
We need to guard those compat syscall definitions with appropriate

With the networking stack today there is demand to handle
multiple network stacks at a time. Not in the context
of containers but in the context of people doing interesting
things with routing.
There is also demand in the context of containers to have
an efficient way to execute some code in the container itself.
If nothing else it is very useful ad a debugging technique.
Both problems can be solved by starting some form of login
daemon in the namespaces people want access to, or you
can play games by ptracing a process and getting the
traced process to do things you want it to do. However
it turns out that a login daemon or a ptrace puppet
controller are more code, they are more prone to
failure, and generally they are less efficient than
simply changing the namespace of a process to a
specified one.
Pieces of this puzzle can also be solved by instead of
coming up with a general purpose system call coming up
with targed system calls perhaps socketat that solve
a subset of the larger problem. Overall that appears
to be more work for less reward.
int setns(int fd, int nstype);
The fd argument is a file descriptor referring to a proc
file of the namespace you want to switch the process to.
In the setns system call the nstype is 0 or specifies
an clone flag of the namespace you intend to change
to prevent changing a namespace unintentionally.

Many rcu callbacks functions just call kfree() on the base structure.
These functions are trivial, but their size adds up, and furthermore
when they are used in a kernel module, that module must invoke the
high-latency rcu_barrier() function at module-unload time.
The kfree_rcu() function introduced by this commit addresses this issue.
Rather than encoding a function address in the embedded rcu_head
structure, kfree_rcu() instead encodes the offset of the rcu_head
structure within the base structure. Because the functions are not
allowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets
up to 4095 bytes can be accommodated. If the offset is larger than
4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu().
If this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu()
or rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the
first 4096 bytes.
Note that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example,
to allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu().
The new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows:
call_rcu(&p->rcu, simple_kfree_callback);
where "simple_kfree_callback()" might be defined as follows:
void simple_kfree_callback(struct rcu_head *p)
{
struct foo *q = container_of(p, struct foo, rcu);
kfree(q);
}
with the following:
kfree_rcu(&p->rcu, rcu);
Note that the "rcu" is the name of a field in the structure being
freed. The reason for using this rather than passing in a pointer
to the base structure is that the above approach allows better type
checking.

get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory

Commit d09b62d fixed grace-period synchronization, but left some smp_mb()
invocations in rcu_process_callbacks() that are no longer needed, but
sheer paranoia prevented them from being removed. This commit removes
them and provides a proof of correctness in their absence. It also adds
a memory barrier to rcu_report_qs_rsp() immediately before the update to
rsp->completed in order to handle the theoretical possibility that the
compiler or CPU might move massive quantities of code into a lock-based
critical section. This also proves that the sheer paranoia was not
entirely unjustified, at least from a theoretical point of view.
In addition, the old dyntick-idle synchronization depended on the fact
that grace periods were many milliseconds in duration, so that it could
be assumed that no dyntick-idle CPU could reorder a memory reference
across an entire grace period. Unfortunately for this design, the
addition of expedited grace periods breaks this assumption, which has
the unfortunate side-effect of requiring atomic operations in the
functions that track dyntick-idle state for RCU. (There is some hope
that the algorithms used in user-level RCU might be applied here, but
some work is required to handle the NMIs that user-space applications
can happily ignore. For the short term, better safe than sorry.)
This proof assumes that neither compiler nor CPU will allow a lock
acquisition and release to be reordered, as doing so can result in
deadlock. The proof is as follows:
1. A given CPU declares a quiescent state under the protection of
its leaf rcu_node's lock.
2. If there is more than one level of rcu_node hierarchy, the
last CPU to declare a quiescent state will also acquire the
->lock of the next rcu_node up in the hierarchy, but only
after releasing the lower level's lock. The acquisition of this
lock clearly cannot occur prior to the acquisition of the leaf
node's lock.
3. Step 2 repeats until we reach the root rcu_node structure.
Please note again that only one lock is held at a time through
this process. The acquisition of the root rcu_node's ->lock
must occur after the release of that of the leaf rcu_node.
4. At this point, we set the ->completed field in the rcu_state
structure in rcu_report_qs_rsp(). However, if the rcu_node
hierarchy contains only one rcu_node, then in theory the code
preceding the quiescent state could leak into the critical
section. We therefore precede the update of ->completed with a
memory barrier. All CPUs will therefore agree that any updates
preceding any report of a quiescent state will have happened
before the update of ->completed.
5. Regardless of whether a new grace period is needed, rcu_start_gp()
will propagate the new value of ->completed to all of the leaf
rcu_node structures, under the protection of each rcu_node's ->lock.
If a new grace period is needed immediately, this propagation
will occur in the same critical section that ->completed was
set in, but courtesy of the memory barrier in #4 above, is still
seen to follow any pre-quiescent-state activity.
6. When a given CPU invokes __rcu_process_gp_end(), it becomes
aware of the end of the old grace period and therefore makes
any RCU callbacks that were waiting on that grace period eligible
for invocation.
If this CPU is the same one that detected the end of the grace
period, and if there is but a single rcu_node in the hierarchy,
we will still be in the single critical section. In this case,
the memory barrier in step #4 guarantees that all callbacks will
be seen to execute after each CPU's quiescent state.
On the other hand, if this is a different CPU, it will acquire
the leaf rcu_node's ->lock, and will again be serialized after
each CPU's quiescent state for the old grace period.
On the strength of this proof, this commit therefore removes the memory
barriers from rcu_process_callbacks() and adds one to rcu_report_qs_rsp().
The effect is to reduce the number of memory barriers by one and to
reduce the frequency of execution from about once per scheduling tick
per CPU to once per grace period.

the char pointer handed in from the call site. alarmtimer_late_init()
checks the char pointer for NULL, but the pointer is on the stack and
not initialized to NULL before the call. So it can have random content
when the match function did not identify a device, which leads to
random access in the following rtc_open() call where the pointer is
dereferenced
Instead of relying on the char pointer, check the return value of
class_find_device. If a device is found then the name pointer is valid
as well.

Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set
backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for
the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the
applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock
was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we
don't have an interface.
Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer
onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are
expired whenever the clock was set.
The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is
created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared
to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then
timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is
compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic
timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

Sedat and Bruno reported RCU stalls which turned out to be caused by
the following;
sched_init() calls init_rt_bandwidth() which calls hrtimer_init()
_BEFORE_ hrtimers_init() is called. While not entirely correct this
worked because hrtimer_init() only accessed statically initialized
data (hrtimer_bases.clock_base[CLOCK_MONOTONIC])
Commit e06383db9 (hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more
then 2 clockids) added an indirection to the hrtimer_bases.clock_base
lookup to avoid gap handling in the hot path. The table which is used
for the translataion from CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE index is
initialized at runtime in hrtimers_init(). So the early call of the
scheduler code translates CLOCK_MONOTONIC to HRTIMER_BASE_REALTIME.
Thus the rt_bandwith timer ends up on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the timer is
armed and the wall clock time is set (e.g. ntpdate in the early boot
process - which also gives the problem deterministic behaviour
i.e. magic recovery after N hours), then the timer ends up with an
expiry time far into the future. That breaks the RT throttler
mechanism as rt runtime is accumulated and never cleared, so the rt
throttler detects a false cpu hog condition and blocks all RT tasks
until the timer finally expires. That in turn stalls the RCU thread of
TINYRCU which leads to an huge amount of RCU callbacks piling up.
Make the translation table statically initialized, so we are back to
the status of <= 2.6.39.

lock was a mutex (due to concerns that we'd be interacting with
the RTC device, which is protected by mutexes).
Since the alarmtimer base is now protected by a spinlock, we can
simply execute alarmtimer functions directly from the hrtimer

simply manage scheduling any delayed work themselves.

In short, almost every changing of current->blocked is wrong, or at least
can lead to the unexpected results.
For example. Two threads T1 and T2, T1 sleeps in sigtimedwait/pause/etc.
kill(tgid, SIG) can pick T2 for TIF_SIGPENDING. If T2 calls sigprocmask()
and blocks SIG before it notices the pending signal, nobody else can handle
this pending shared signal.
I am not sure this is bug, but at least this looks strange imho. T1 should
not sleep forever, there is a signal which should wake it up.
This patch moves the code which actually changes ->blocked into the new
helper, set_current_blocked() and changes this code to call
retarget_shared_pending() as exit_signals() does. We should only care about
the signals we just blocked, we use "newset & ~current->blocked" as a mask.
We do not check !sigisemptyset(newblocked), retarget_shared_pending() is
cheap unless mask & shared_pending.
Note: for this particular case we could simply change sigprocmask() to
return -EINTR if signal_pending(), but then we should change other callers
and, more importantly, if we need this fix then set_current_blocked() will
have more callers and some of them can't restart. See the next patch as a
random example.

This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock
and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM
and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers
set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if
it is suspended.
Some background can be found here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/
The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.
See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36
While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between
alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface
for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device.
As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality
via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids
creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and
ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME).
The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what
this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then
the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify
the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow
the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides
(ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it
through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the
process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait
on a new alarm).
One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via
the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research.
There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy
hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them
from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated
bag, mid-flight).

This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for
alarm-timers.
Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers,
but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to
fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer
expires.
The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.
See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36
This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the
Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage
of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct
RTC manipulation.

Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as
their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled.
This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume
to measure the time in suspend.
The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday
on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However,
this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust
the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect
as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate.
This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook
to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume.
The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is
nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's
HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support
read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer
may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and
get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed
and thus its breakpoints released.
This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle
of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing
a freed pointer.
Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference
holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is
held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference
is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's
breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

mechanism. Calling those callbacks per irq would be rather icky, but
with the generic irq chip mechanism we can call this per registered
chip.

This adds support for disabling threading on a per-IRQ basis via the IRQ
status instead of the IRQ flow, which is necessary for interrupts that
don't follow the natural IRQ flow channels, such as those that are
virtually created.
The new APIs added are simply:
irq_set_thread()
irq_set_nothread()
which follow the rest of the IRQ status routines.
Chained handlers also have IRQ_NOTHREAD set on them automatically, making
the lack of threading explicit rather than implicit. Subsequently, the
nothread flag can be viewed through the standard genirq debugging
facilities.

this is performed inside of the lockdep global "grab_lock()",

Irq inversion and irq dependency bugs are only subtly
different. The diffenerence lies where the interrupt occurred.
For irq dependency:
irq_disable
lock(A)
lock(B)
unlock(B)
unlock(A)
irq_enable
lock(B)
unlock(B)
<interrupt>
lock(A)
The interrupt comes in after it has been established that lock A
can be held when taking an irq unsafe lock. Lockdep detects the
problem when taking lock A in interrupt context.
With the irq_inversion the irq happens before it is established
and lockdep detects the problem with the taking of lock B:
<interrupt>
lock(A)
irq_disable
lock(A)
lock(B)
unlock(B)
unlock(A)
irq_enable
lock(B)
unlock(B)
Since the problem with the locking logic for both of these issues
is in actuality the same, they both should report the same scenario.
This patch implements that and prints this:

Locking order inversion due to interrupts is a subtle problem.
When an irq lockiinversion discovered by lockdep it currently
reports something like:
[ INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ]
... and then prints out the locks that are involved, as back traces.
Judging by lkml feedback developers were routinely confused by what
a HARDIRQ->safe to unsafe issue is all about, and sometimes even
blew it off as a bug in lockdep.
It is not obvious when lockdep prints this message about a lock that
is never taken in interrupt context.
After explaining the problems that lockdep is reporting, I
decided to add a description of the problem in visual form. Now
the following is shown:
---

Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

The above is the case when the unsafe lock is taken while
holding a lock taken in irq context. But when a lock is taken
that also grabs a unsafe lock, the call chain is shown:

When a task in a taskgroup sleeps, pick_next_task starts all the way back at
the root and picks the task/taskgroup with the min vruntime across all
runnable tasks.
But when there are many frequently sleeping tasks across different taskgroups,
it makes better sense to stay with same taskgroup for its slice period (or
until all tasks in the taskgroup sleeps) instead of switching cross taskgroup
on each sleep after a short runtime.
This helps specifically where taskgroups corresponds to a process with
multiple threads. The change reduces the number of CR3 switches in this case.
Example:
Two taskgroups with 2 threads each which are running for 2ms and
sleeping for 1ms. Looking at sched:sched_switch shows:
BEFORE: taskgroup_1 threads [5004, 5005], taskgroup_2 threads [5016, 5017]

cpu-soaker-5017 [003] 3683.405170

Similar problem is there when there are multiple taskgroups and say a task A
preempts currently running task B of taskgroup_1. On schedule, pick_next_task
can pick an unrelated task on taskgroup_2. Here it would be better to give some
preference to task B on pick_next_task.

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.
Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).

A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.
For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.
This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.

Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.
So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

Currently ttwu() does two rq->lock acquisitions, once on the task's
old rq, holding it over the p->state fiddling and load-balance pass.
Then it drops the old rq->lock to acquire the new rq->lock.
By having serialized ttwu(), p->sched_class, p->cpus_allowed with
p->pi_lock, we can now drop the whole first rq->lock acquisition.
The p->pi_lock serializing concurrent ttwu() calls protects p->state,
which we will set to TASK_WAKING to bridge possible p->pi_lock to
rq->lock gaps and serialize set_task_cpu() calls against
task_rq_lock().
The p->pi_lock serialization of p->sched_class allows us to call
scheduling class methods without holding the rq->lock, and the
serialization of p->cpus_allowed allows us to do the load-balancing
bits without races.

In order to be able to call set_task_cpu() while either holding
p->pi_lock or task_rq(p)->lock we need to hold both locks in order to
stabilize task_rq().
This makes task_rq_lock() acquire both locks, and have
__task_rq_lock() validate that p->pi_lock is held. This increases the
locking overhead for most scheduler syscalls but allows reduction of
rq->lock contention for some scheduler hot paths (ttwu).

task in schedule() and not on any random dequeue as done by things

This also allows us to remove p->se usage from !sched_fair code.

Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for
quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it
would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However,
that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be
enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels
don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it
would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that
they would never use.
To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option
CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code
that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make
CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to
select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire
hibernate code along with it.

Instead of relying on static allocations for the sched_domain and
sched_group trees, dynamically allocate and RCU free them.
Allocating this dynamically also allows for some build_sched_groups()
simplification since we can now (like with other simplifications) rely
on the sched_domain tree instead of hard-coded knowledge.
One tricky to note is that detach_destroy_domains() needs to hold
rcu_read_lock() over the entire tear-down, per-cpu is not sufficient
since that can lead to partial sched_group existance (could possibly
be solved by doing the tear-down backwards but this is much more
robust).
A concequence of the above is that we can no longer print the
sched_domain debug stuff from cpu_attach_domain() since that might now
run with preemption disabled (due to classic RCU etc.) and
sched_domain_debug() does some GFP_KERNEL allocations.
Another thing to note is that we now fully rely on normal RCU and not
RCU-sched, this is because with the new and exiting RCU flavours we
grew over the years BH doesn't necessarily hold off RCU-sched grace
periods (-rt is known to break this). This would in fact already cause
us grief since we do sched_domain/sched_group iterations from softirq
context.
This patch is somewhat larger than I would like it to be, but I didn't
find any means of shrinking/splitting this.

Again, instead of relying on knowing the possible domains and their
order, simply rely on the sched_domain tree and whatever domains are
present in there to initialize the sched_group cpu_power.
Note: we need to iterate the CPU mask backwards because of the
cpumask_first() condition for iterating up the tree. By iterating the
mask backwards we ensure all groups of a domain are set-up before
starting on the parent groups that rely on its children to be
completely done.

The NODE sched_domain is 'special' in that it allocates sched_groups
per CPU, instead of sharing the sched_groups between all CPUs.
While this might have some benefits on large NUMA and avoid remote
memory accesses when iterating the sched_groups, this does break
current code that assumes sched_groups are shared between all
sched_domains (since the dynamic cpu_power patches).
So refactor the NODE groups to behave like all other groups.
(The ALLNODES domain again shared its groups across the CPUs for some
reason).
If someone does measure a performance decrease due to this change we
need to revisit this and come up with another way to have both dynamic
cpu_power and NUMA work nice together.

The scheduler load balancer has specific code to deal with cases of
unbalanced system due to lots of unmovable tasks (for example because of
hard CPU affinity). In those situation, it excludes the busiest CPU that
has pinned tasks for load balance consideration such that it can perform
second 2nd load balance pass on the rest of the system.
This all works as designed if there is only one cgroup in the system.
However, when we have multiple cgroups, this logic has false positives and
triggers multiple load balance passes despite there are actually no pinned
tasks at all.
The reason it has false positives is that the all pinned logic is deep in
the lowest function of can_migrate_task() and is too low level:
load_balance_fair() iterates each task group and calls balance_tasks() to
migrate target load. Along the way, balance_tasks() will also set a
all_pinned variable. Given that task-groups are iterated, this all_pinned
variable is essentially the status of last group in the scanning process.
Task group can have number of reasons that no load being migrated, none
due to cpu affinity. However, this status bit is being propagated back up
to the higher level load_balance(), which incorrectly think that no tasks
were moved. It kick off the all pinned logic and start multiple passes
attempt to move load onto puller CPU.
To fix this, move the all_pinned aggregation up at the iterator level.
This ensures that the status is aggregated over all task-groups, not just
last one in the list.

In function find_busiest_group(), the sched-domain avg_load isn't
calculated at all if there is a group imbalance within the domain. This
will cause erroneous imbalance calculation.
The reason is that calculate_imbalance() sees sds->avg_load = 0 and it
will dump entire sds->max_load into imbalance variable, which is used
later on to migrate entire load from busiest CPU to the puller CPU.
This has two really bad effect:
1. stampede of task migration, and they won't be able to break out
of the bad state because of positive feedback loop: large load
delta -> heavier load migration -> larger imbalance and the cycle
goes on.
2. severe imbalance in CPU queue depth. This causes really long
scheduling latency blip which affects badly on application that
has tight latency requirement.
The fix is to have kernel calculate domain avg_load in both cases. This
will ensure that imbalance calculation is always sensible and the target
is usually half way between busiest and puller CPU.

There is a bug in perf_event_enable_on_exec() when cgroup events are
active on a CPU: the cgroup events may be scheduled twice causing event
state corruptions which eventually may lead to kernel panics.
The reason is that the function needs to first schedule out the cgroup
events, just like for the per-thread events. The cgroup event are
scheduled back in automatically from the perf_event_context_sched_in()
function.
The patch also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() is perf_cgroup_switch() to catch any
bogus state.

Introduce:
static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key);
instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro.
In this way, jump labels become really easy to use:
Define:
struct jump_label_key jump_key;
Can be used as:
if (static_branch(&jump_key))
do unlikely code
enable/disale via:
jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
jump_label_dec(&jump_key);
that's it!
For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an
atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(),
atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct.
Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into
the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in
basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous
hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write.
Testing:
I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3
configurations, where tracepoints were disabled.

plus forcing system to generate many tracing events,

The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test.

The reasons are:
- bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to

- LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow
These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe

The file debugfs/tracing/printk_formats maps the addresses

This is because trace_bprintk() does not store the format into the

This patch moves SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED from signal_struct->flags to
task_struct->group_stop, and thus makes it per-thread.
Like SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can be false-positive
after return from get_signal_to_deliver(), this is fine. The only
purpose of this bit is: we can drop ->siglock after __dequeue_signal()
returns the sig_kernel_stop() signal and before we call
do_signal_stop(), in this case we must not miss SIGCONT if it comes in
between.
But, unlike SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can not be
false-positive in do_signal_stop() if multiple threads dequeue the
sig_kernel_stop() signal at the same time.
Consider two threads T1 and T2, SIGTTIN has a hanlder.
- T1 dequeues SIGTSTP and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, then
it drops ->siglock
- SIGCONT comes and clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, SIGTSTP
should be cancelled.
- T2 dequeues SIGTTIN and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED again.
Since we have a handler we should not stop, T2 returns
to usermode to run the handler.
- T1 continues, calls do_signal_stop() and wrongly starts
the group stop because SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED was restored
in between.
With or without this change:
- we need to do something with ptrace_signal() which can
return SIGSTOP, but this needs another discussion
- SIGSTOP can be lost if it races with the mt exec, will
be fixed later.

prepare_signal(SIGCONT) should never set TIF_SIGPENDING or wake up
the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE threads. We are going to call complete_signal()
which should pick the right thread correctly. All we need is to wake
up the TASK_STOPPED threads.
If the task was stopped, it can't return to usermode without taking
->siglock. Otherwise we don't care, and the spurious TIF_SIGPENDING
can't be useful.
The comment says:
* If there is a handler for SIGCONT, we must make
* sure that no thread returns to user mode before
* we post the signal
It is not clear what this means. Probably, "when there's only a single
thread" and this continues to be true. Otherwise, even if this SIGCONT
is not private, with or without this change only one thread can dequeue
SIGCONT, other threads can happily return to user mode before before
that thread handles this signal.
Note also that wake_up_state(t, __TASK_STOPPED) can't race with the task
which changes its state, TASK_STOPPED state is protected by ->siglock as
well.
In short: when it comes to signal delivery, SIGCONT is the normal signal
and does not need any special support.

sched_setscheduler() (in sched.c) is called in order of changing the
scheduling policy and/or the real-time priority of a task. Thus,
if we find out that neither of those are actually being modified, it
is possible to return earlier and save the overhead of a full
deactivate+activate cycle of the task in question.
Beside that, if we have more than one SCHED_FIFO task with the same
priority on the same rq (which means they share the same priority queue)
having one of them changing its position in the priority queue because of
a sched_setscheduler (as it happens by means of the deactivate+activate)
that does not actually change the priority violates POSIX which states,
for SCHED_FIFO:
"If a thread whose policy or priority has been modified by
pthread_setschedprio() is a running thread or is runnable, the effect on

Commit da48524eb2 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo
from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict.
There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a
negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE:
- This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants
to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel
causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo()
fails with EPERM.
- Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a()
wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define).
The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER.
As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>, loosen the check to
forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.

An update of the futex code had a

But on UP, spin_is_locked() is always false, and will
trigger this warning, and even worse, it will exit the function
without doing the necessary work.
Converting this to a WARN_ON_SMP() fixes the problem.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.
This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot

The %pB format specifier is for stack backtrace. Its handler
sprint_backtrace() does symbol lookup using (address-1) to
ensure the address will not point outside of the function.
If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn",
gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved
return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start
of the next function), so pollutes call trace somewhat.
This patch adds the %pB printk mechanism that allows architecture
call-trace printout functions to improve backtrace printouts.

driver modules.
Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.
Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param(). This changes powerpc from __setup()

- Introduce ns_capable to test for a capability in a non-default
user namespace.
- Teach cap_capable to handle capabilities in a non-default
user namespace.
The motivation is to get to the unprivileged creation of new
namespaces. It looks like this gets us 90% of the way there, with
only potential uid confusion issues left.
I still need to handle getting all caps after creation but otherwise I
think I have a good starter patch that achieves all of your goals.
Changelog:

12/14/2010: [serge] fix capabilities to created user namespaces
Without this, if user serge creates a user_ns, he won't have
capabilities to the user_ns he created. THis is because we
were first checking whether his effective caps had the caps
he needed and returning -EPERM if not, and THEN checking whether
he was the creator. Reverse those checks.

01/11/2011: [serge] add nsown_capable() helper per Bastian Blank suggestion
02/16/2011: [serge] fix a logic bug: the root user is always creator of
init_user_ns, but should not always have capabilities to
it! Fix the check in cap_capable().
02/21/2011: Add the required user_ns parameter to security_capable,
fixing a compile failure.
02/23/2011: Convert some macros to functions as per akpm comments. Some
couldn't be converted because we can't easily forward-declare
them (they are inline if !SECURITY, extern if SECURITY). Add
a current_user_ns function so we can use it in capability.h
without #including cred.h. Move all forward declarations
together to the top of the #ifdef __KERNEL__ section, and use
kernel-doc format.
02/23/2011: Per dhowells, clean up comment in cap_capable().

The expected course of development for user namespaces targeted
capabilities is laid out at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserNamespace.
Goals:
- Make it safe for an unprivileged user to unshare namespaces. They
will be privileged with respect to the new namespace, but this should
only include resources which the unprivileged user already owns.
- Provide separate limits and accounting for userids in different
namespaces.
Status:
Currently (as of 2.6.38) you can clone with the CLONE_NEWUSER flag to
get a new user namespace if you have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and
CAP_SETGID capabilities. What this gets you is a whole new set of
userids, meaning that user 500 will have a different 'struct user' in
your namespace than in other namespaces. So any accounting information
stored in struct user will be unique to your namespace.
However, throughout the kernel there are checks which
- simply check for a capability. Since root in a child namespace
has all capabilities, this means that a child namespace is not
constrained.
- simply compare uid1 == uid2. Since these are the integer uids,
uid 500 in namespace 1 will be said to be equal to uid 500 in
namespace 2.
As a result, the lxc implementation at lxc.sf.net does not use user
namespaces. This is actually helpful because it leaves us free to
develop user namespaces in such a way that, for some time, user
namespaces may be unuseful.
Bugs aside, this patchset is supposed to not at all affect systems which
are not actively using user namespaces, and only restrict what tasks in
child user namespace can do. They begin to limit privilege to a user
namespace, so that root in a container cannot kill or ptrace tasks in the
parent user namespace, and can only get world access rights to files.
Since all files currently belong to the initila user namespace, that means
that child user namespaces can only get world access rights to *all*
files. While this temporarily makes user namespaces bad for system
containers, it starts to get useful for some sandboxing.
I've run the 'runltplite.sh' with and without this patchset and found no
difference.
This patch:
copy_process() handles CLONE_NEWUSER before the rest of the namespaces.
So in the case of clone(CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWUTS) the new uts namespace
will have the new user namespace as its owner. That is what we want,
since we want root in that new userns to be able to have privilege over
it.
Changelog:
Feb 15: don't set uts_ns->user_ns if we didn't create
a new uts_ns.
Feb 23: Move extern init_user_ns declaration from
init/version.c to utsname.h.

When dmesg_restrict is set to 1 CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to read the kernel
ring buffer. But a root user without CAP_SYS_ADMIN is able to reset
dmesg_restrict to 0.
This is an issue when e.g. LXC (Linux Containers) are used and complete
user space is running without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. A unprivileged and jailed
root user can bypass the dmesg_restrict protection.
With this patch writing to dmesg_restrict is only allowed when root has
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

The maximum kilobytes of locked memory that an unprivileged user
can reserve is of 512 kB = 128 pages by default, scaled to the
number of onlined CPUs, which fits well with the tools that use
128 data pages by default.
However tools actually use 129 pages, because they need one more
for the user control page. Thus the default mlock threshold is
not sufficient for the default tools needs and we always end up
to evaluate the constant mlock rlimit policy, which doesn't have
this scaling with the number of online CPUs.
Hence, on systems that have more than 16 CPUs, we overlap the
rlimit threshold and fail to mmap:
$ perf record ls
Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)
Just increase the max unprivileged mlock threshold by one page
so that it supports well perf tools even after 16 CPUs.

Just as group_exit_code shouldn't be generated when a PTRACE_CONT'd
task re-enters job control stop, notifiction for the event should be
suppressed too. The logic is the same as the group_exit_code
generation suppression in do_signal_stop(), if SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED is
already set, the task is re-entering job control stop without
intervening SIGCONT and the notifications should be suppressed.
Test case follows.

group_exit_code is not set by the group stop completion which

With recent changes, job control and ptrace stopped states are
properly separated and accessible to the real parent and the ptracer
respectively; however, notifications of job control stopped/continued
events to the real parent while ptraced are still missing.
A ptracee participates in group stop in ptrace_stop() but the
completion isn't notified. If participation results in completion of
group stop, notify the real parent of the event. The ptrace and group
stops are separate and can be handled as such.
However, when the real parent and the ptracer are in the same thread
group, only the ptrace stop event is visible through wait(2) and the
duplicate notifications are different from the current behavior and
are confusing. Suppress group stop notification in such cases.
The continued state is shared between the real parent and the ptracer
but is only meaningful to the real parent. Always notify the real
parent and notify the ptracer too for backward compatibility. Similar
to stop notification, if the real parent is the ptracer, suppress a
duplicate notification.

* Group stop notification to the real parent should also happen

Both issues are fixed accordingly.

The stopped notifications in do_signal_stop() and exit_signals() are
always for the completion of job control. The one in do_signal_stop()
may be delivered to the ptracer if PTRACE_ATTACH races with
notification and the one in exit_signals() if task exits while
ptraced.
In both cases, the notifications are meaningless and confusing to the
ptracer as it never accesses the group stop state while the real
parent would miss notifications for the events it is watching.
Make sure these notifications always go to the real parent by calling
do_notify_parent_cld_stop() with %false @for_ptrace.

Currently, do_notify_parent_cldstop() determines whether the
notification is for the real parent or ptracer. Move the decision to
the caller by adding @for_ptrace parameter to

task_ptrace(target_task), so this patch doesn't cause any behavior
difference.

Currently a real parent can't access job control stopped/continued
events through a ptraced child. This utterly breaks job control when
the children are ptraced.
For example, if a program is run from an interactive shell and then
strace(1) attaches to it, pressing ^Z would send SIGTSTP and strace(1)
would notice it but the shell has no way to tell whether the child
entered job control stop and thus can't tell when to take over the
terminal - leading to awkward lone ^Z on the terminal.
Because the job control and ptrace stopped states are independent,
there is no reason to prevent real parents from accessing the stopped
state regardless of ptrace. The continued state isn't separate but
ptracers don't have any use for them as ptracees can never resume
without explicit command from their ptracers, so as long as ptracers
don't consume it, it should be fine.
Although this is a behavior change, because the previous behavior is
utterly broken when viewed from real parents and the change is only
visible to real parents, I don't think it's necessary to make this
behavior optional.
One situation to be careful about is when a task from the real
parent's group is ptracing. The parent group is the recipient of both
ptrace and job control stop events and one stop can be reported as
both job control and ptrace stops. As this can break the current
ptrace users, suppress job control stopped events for these cases.
If a real parent ptracer wants to know about both job control and
ptrace stops, it can create a separate process to serve the role of
real parent.
Note that this only updates wait(2) side of things. The real parent
can access the states via wait(2) but still is not properly notified
(woken up and delivered signal). Test case polls wait(2) with WNOHANG
to work around. Notification will be updated by future patches.

wait(2) and friends allow access to stopped/continued states through
zombies, which is required as the states are process-wide and should
be accessible whether the leader task is alive or undead.
wait_consider_task() implements this by always clearing notask_error
and going through wait_task_stopped/continued() for unreaped zombies.
However, while ptraced, the stopped state is per-task and as such if
the ptracee became a zombie, there's no further stopped event to
listen to and wait(2) and friends should return -ECHILD on the tracee.
Fix it by clearing notask_error only if WCONTINUED | WEXITED is set

While ptraced, a task may be resumed while the containing process is
still job control stopped. If the task receives another stop signal
in this state, it will still initiate group stop, which generates
group_exit_code, which the real parent would be able to see once the
ptracer detaches.
In this scenario, the real parent may see two consecutive CLD_STOPPED
events from two stop signals without intervening SIGCONT, which
normally is impossible.

Currently, __ptrace_unlink() wakes up the tracee iff it's in
TASK_TRACED. For unlinking from PTRACE_DETACH, this is correct as the
tracee is guaranteed to be in TASK_TRACED or dead; however, unlinking
also happens when the ptracer exits and in this case the ptracee can
be in any state and ptrace might be left running even if the group it
belongs to is stopped.
This patch updates __ptrace_unlink() such that GROUP_STOP_PENDING is
reinstated regardless of the ptracee's current state as long as it's
alive and makes sure that signal_wake_up() is called if execution

Currently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it's left alone
and the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.
The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called
before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task
manipulates the state of another task directly.
With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and
TRACED can be made clean. The tracer can use the flag to tell the
tracee to retry stop on attach and detach. On retry, the tracee will
enter the desired state in the correct way. The lower 16bits of
task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused
the last group stop. This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as
the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by
then.
As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code
anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it
can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop(). This
is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop.
If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a
ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should
always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach
completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be
TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the
following request to fail with -ESRCH.
This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait
for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit. Completing the
transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.
Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible
to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the
reverse transition is visible to all. Please read the comments for
details.
Oleg:
* Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without
proper bookkeeping. Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry.
* Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several
different ways. Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING. Unhandled
corner case is documented.
* Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped
task would result in more consistent behavior.
* Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in
TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse
the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach(). ptrace_stop() is now
called with TASK_RUNNING.
* Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait.
* Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of
TRAPPING.

A ptraced task would still stop at do_signal_stop() when it's stopping
for stop signals and do_signal_stop() behaves the same whether the
task is ptraced or not. However, in addition to stopping,
ptrace_stop() also does ptrace specific stuff like calling
architecture specific callbacks, so this behavior makes the code more
fragile and difficult to understand.
This patch makes do_signal_stop() test whether the task is ptraced and
use ptrace_stop() if so. This renders tracehook_notify_jctl() rather
pointless as the ptrace notification is now handled by ptrace_stop()
regardless of the return value from the tracehook. It probably is a
good idea to update it.
This doesn't solve the whole problem as tasks already in stopped state
would stay in the regular stop when ptrace attached. That part will
be handled by the next patch.
Oleg pointed out that this makes a userland-visible change. Before,
SIGCONT would be able to wake up a task in group stop even if the task
is ptraced if the tracer hasn't issued another ptrace command
afterwards (as the next ptrace commands transitions the state into
TASK_TRACED which ignores SIGCONT wakeups). With this and the next
patch, SIGCONT may race with the transition into TASK_TRACED and is
ignored if the tracee already entered TASK_TRACED.
Another userland visible change of this and the next patch is that the
ptracee's state would now be TASK_TRACED where it used to be
TASK_STOPPED, which is visible via fs/proc.

Currently, ptrace_stop() unconditionally participates in group stop
bookkeeping. This is unnecessary and inaccurate. Make it only
participate if the task is trapping for group stop - ie. if @why is
CLD_STOPPED. As ptrace_stop() currently is not used when trapping for
group stop, this equals to disabling group stop participation from
ptrace_stop().
A visible behavior change is increased likelihood of delayed group
stop completion if the thread group contains one or more ptraced
tasks.
This is to preapre for further cleanup of the interaction between
group stop and ptrace.

Currently task->signal->group_stop_count is used to decide whether to
stop for group stop. However, if there is a task in the group which
is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by
ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group
stop is complete.
Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger
won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to
the ptraced task in any other state.
This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task
is yet to stop for the group stop in progress. The flag is set when a
group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for
the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should
participate in a group stop needs to be determined. Note that now
tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop.
This results in the following behavior changes.
* For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop
reported.
* A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the
tracer would get the notification. However, as a ptraced task could
be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group
stop, the notification may still be missing. These will be
addressed with further patches.
* A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if
the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery. Group stop
code handles this correctly.
Oleg:
* Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its
GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set. Fixed by updating
recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of
group_stop_count.
* Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever
task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared. Fixed accordingly.
* Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and
RUNNING and the last behavior change.

task->signal->group_stop_count is used to track the progress of group
stop. It's initialized to the number of tasks which need to stop for
group stop to finish and each stopping or trapping task decrements.
However, each task doesn't keep track of whether it decremented the
counter or not and if woken up before the group stop is complete and
stops again, it can decrement the counter multiple times.
Please consider the following example code.
static void *worker(void *arg)
{
while (1) ;
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t thread;
pid_t pid;
int i;
pid = fork();
if (!pid) {
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
pthread_create(&thread, NULL, worker, NULL);
while (1) ;
return 0;
}
ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
while (1) {
waitid(P_PID, pid, NULL, WSTOPPED);
ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, NULL, (void *)(long)SIGSTOP);
}
return 0;
}
The child creates five threads and the parent continuously traps the
first thread and whenever the child gets a signal, SIGSTOP is
delivered. If an external process sends SIGSTOP to the child, all
other threads in the process should reliably stop. However, due to
the above bug, the first thread will often end up consuming
group_stop_count multiple times and SIGSTOP often ends up stopping
none or part of the other four threads.
This patch adds a new field task->group_stop which is protected by
siglock and uses GROUP_STOP_CONSUME flag to track which task is still
to consume group_stop_count to fix this bug.
task_clear_group_stop_pending() and task_participate_group_stop() are
added to help manipulating group stop states. As ptrace_stop() now
also uses task_participate_group_stop(), it will set
SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED if it completes a group stop.
There still are many issues regarding the interaction between group
stop and ptrace. Patches to address them will follow.
- Oleg spotted duplicate GROUP_STOP_CONSUME. Dropped.

This wake_up_state() has a turbulent history. This is a remnant from

it but the change was reverted later by commit edaba2c5 (ptrace:
revert "ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic")
citing compatibility breakage and general brokeness of the whole group
stop / ptrace interaction. Then, recently, it got converted from
wake_up_process() to wake_up_state() to make it less dangerous.
Digging through the mailing archives, the compatibility breakage
doesn't seem to be critical in the sense that the behavior isn't well
defined or reliable to begin with and it seems to have been agreed to
remove the wakeup with proper cleanup of the whole thing.
Now that the group stop and its interaction with ptrace are being
cleaned up, it's high time to finally kill this silliness.

After a task receives SIGCONT, its parent is notified via SIGCHLD with
its siginfo describing what the notified event is. If SIGCONT is
received while the child process is stopped, the code should be
CLD_CONTINUED. If SIGCONT is recieved while the child process is in
the process of being stopped, it should be CLD_STOPPED. Which code to
use is determined in prepare_signal() and recorded in signal->flags
using SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED|STOP flags.
get_signal_deliver() should test these flags and then notify
accoringly; however, it incorrectly tested SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED
instead of SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED, thus incorrectly notifying
CLD_CONTINUED if the signal is delivered before the task is wait(2)ed
and CLD_STOPPED if the state was fetched already.
Fix it by testing SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED. While at it, uncompress the
?: test into if/else clause for better readability.

In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help

displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and
/sys/module/*/sections/*.
Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in
/proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)". To avoid
this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format. Anything that was
already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits
should have no problem with this change. (Thanks to Joe Perches for the
suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these
addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their
starting life as ELF section offsets.

On some architectures, the boot process involves de-registering the boot
console (early boot), initialize drivers and then re-register the console.
This mechanism introduces a window in which no printk can happen on the
console and messages are buffered and then printed once the new console is
available.
If a kernel crashes during this window, all it's left on the boot console
is "console [foo] enabled, bootconsole disabled" making debug of the crash
rather 'interesting'.
By adding "keep_bootcon" option, do not unregister the boot console, that
will allow to printk everything that is happening up to the crash.
The option is clearly meant only for debugging purposes as it introduces
lots of duplicated info printed on console, but will make bug report from
users easier as it doesn't require a kernel build just to figure out where
we crash.

This patch addresses a couple of problems. One was the case when the
hardlockup failed to start, it also failed to start the softlockup. There
were valid cases when the hardlockup shouldn't start and that shouldn't
block the softlockup (no lapic, bios controls perf counters).
The second problem was when the hardlockup failed to start on boxes (from
a no lapic or bios controlled perf counter case), it reported failure to
the cpu notifier chain. This blocked the notifier from continuing to
start other more critical pieces of cpu bring-up (in our case based on a
2.6.32 fork, it was the mce). As a result, during soft cpu online/offline
testing, the system would panic when a cpu was offlined because the cpu
notifier would succeed in processing a watchdog disable cpu event and
would panic in the mce case as a result of un-initialized variables from a
never executed cpu up event.
I realized the hardlockup/softlockup cases are really just debugging aids
and should never impede the progress of a cpu up/down event. Therefore I
modified the code to always return NOTIFY_OK and instead rely on printks
to inform the user of problems.

Cleanup: kill the dead code which does nothing but complicates the code

sys_unshare(CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM) is not really implemented, and I
doubt very much it will ever work. At least, nobody even tried since the
original 99d1419d96 ("unshare system call -v5: system call
handler function") was applied more than 4 years ago.
And the code is not consistent. unshare_thread() always fails
unconditionally, while unshare_sighand() and unshare_vm() pretend to work
if there is nothing to unshare.
Remove unshare_thread(), unshare_sighand(), unshare_vm() helpers and
related variables and add a simple CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_SIGHAND| CLONE_VM
check into check_unshare_flags().
Also, move the "CLONE_NEWNS needs CLONE_FS" check from
check_unshare_flags() to sys_unshare(). This looks more consistent and
matches the similar do_sysvsem check in sys_unshare().
Note: with or without this patch "atomic_read(mm->mm_users) > 1" can give
a false positive due to get_task_mm().

Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a
signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL.
Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to
send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it
from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a
SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values.
Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate
SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses
anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag.
So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative
value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out

Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the
cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s)
while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to
clear the last ref and unlock the block.
Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of
cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to
complete an rcu window.
Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just
detect the race and handle it.
Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty
cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch
callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus
are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were
online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed
to be called.

Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the
2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code.
First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to
be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was
missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the
func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair
with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before
the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in
the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus
executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present
but was not).
Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the
interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third
party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or
concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would
require a full smp_mb().
However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data
owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the
reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before
the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes
that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the
interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which
will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the
list).
I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list
primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I
considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and
lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in
smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in
smp_call_function_many.
Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list.
Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional
one.
I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and
by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but
was unsuccessful. Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is
a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.

image size to 5/2 of the total system RAM, but it is reported
that on some systems device drivers allocate substantial
amounts of memory during suspend and the creation of the image
fails as a result (too little memory is preallocated).
Modify the autotuning mechanism to use 1/3 instead of 2/5 of RAM
as the default image size, which is reported to be sufficient for
the affected systems.

Some subsystems need to carry out suspend/resume and shutdown
operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. The only
way to register such operations is to define a sysdev class and
a sysdev specifically for this purpose which is cumbersome and
inefficient. Moreover, the arguments taken by sysdev suspend,
resume and shutdown callbacks are practically never necessary.
For this reason, introduce a simpler interface allowing subsystems
to register operations to be executed very late during system suspend
and shutdown and very early during resume in the form of
strcut syscore_ops objects.

The variable pm_flags is used to prevent APM from being enabled
along with ACPI, which would lead to problems. However, acpi_init()
is always called before apm_init() and after acpi_init() has
returned, it is known whether or not ACPI will be used. Namely, if
acpi_disabled is not set after acpi_init() has returned, this means
that ACPI is enabled. Thus, it is sufficient to check acpi_disabled
in apm_init() to prevent APM from being enabled in parallel with
ACPI.

From the users' point of view CONFIG_PM is really only used for
making it possible to set CONFIG_SUSPEND, CONFIG_HIBERNATION,
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and (surprisingly enough) CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE
(CONFIG_PM_OPP also depends on CONFIG_PM, but quite artificially).
However, both CONFIG_SUSPEND and CONFIG_HIBERNATION require platform
support (independent of CONFIG_PM) and it is not quite obvious that
CONFIG_PM has to be set for CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE to be available.
Thus, from the users' point of view, it would be more logical to
automatically select CONFIG_PM if any of the above options depending
on it are set.
Make CONFIG_PM depend on (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME),
which will cause it to be selected when any of CONFIG_SUSPEND,
CONFIG_HIBERNATION, CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE is
set and will clarify its meaning.

handle_futex_death() uses futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() without
disabling page faults. That's ok, but totally non obvious.
We don't hold locks so we actually can and want to fault here, because
the get_user() before futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not
guarantee a R/W mapping.
We could just add a big fat comment to explain this, but actually
changing the code so that the functionality is entirely clear is
better.
Use the helper function which disables page faults around the
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() and handle a fault with a call to
fault_in_user_writeable() as all other places in the futex code do as
well.

futex,plist: Pass the real head of the priority list to plist_del()
futex,plist: Remove debug lock assignment from plist_node
plist: Shrink struct plist_head
plist: Add priority list test
On suspend we disable all interrupts in the core code, but this does
not mask the interrupt line in the default implementation as we use a
lazy disable approach. That means we mark the interrupt disabled, but
leave the hardware unmasked. That's an optimization because we avoid
the hardware access for the common case where no interrupt happens
after we marked it disabled. If an interrupt happens, then the
interrupt flow handler masks the line at the hardware level and marks
it pending.
Suspend makes use of this delayed disable as it "disables" all
interrupts when preparing the suspend transition. Right before the
system goes into hardware suspend state it checks whether one of the
interrupts which is marked as a wakeup interrupt came in after
disabling it.
Most interrupt chips have a separate register which selects the
interrupts which can wake up the system from suspend, so we don't have
to mask any on the non wakeup interrupts.
But now we have to deal with brilliant designed hardware which lacks
such a wakeup configuration facility. For such hardware it's necessary
to mask all non wakeup interrupts before going into suspend in order
to avoid the wakeup from random interrupts.
Rather than working around this in the affected interrupt chip
implementations we can solve this elegant in the core code itself.
Add a flag IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND which can be set by the irq chip
implementation to indicate, that the interrupts which are not selected
as wakeup sources must be masked in the suspend path. Mask them in the
loop which checks the wakeup interrupts pending flag.

Some plist_del()s in kernel/futex.c are passed a faked head of the
priority list.
It does not fail because the current code does not require the real head
in plist_del(). The current code of plist_del() just uses the head for checking,
so it will not cause a bad result even when we use a faked head.
But it is undocumented usage:
/**
* plist_del - Remove a @node from plist.
*
* @node: &struct plist_node pointer - entry to be removed
* @head: &struct plist_head pointer - list head
*/
The document says that the @head is the "list head" head of the priority list.
In futex code, several places use "plist_del(&q->list, &q->list.plist);",
they pass a fake head. We need to fix them all.

so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write after blkparse we get:

The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either

This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.

sched: Fix sched rt group scheduling when hierachy is enabled
Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation
(i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck()
and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we
exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want
any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released.
For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(),
followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be
releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the
callback_ops->rpc_release() has been called synchronously.
This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that
rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of
__rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls
rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically.
In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing
waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between
the waiting process and rpciod.
The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by
checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task
reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock,
and immediately free up the rpc_task.
Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an
asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new
helper: rpc_put_task_async().

What happens is the "ftrace=..." will expand the ring buffer to its
default size (from its minimum size) but it will not expand the
max ring buffer (the ring buffer to store maximum latencies).
When the irqsoff test runs, it will call the ring buffer swap routine
that checks if the max ring buffer is the same size as the normal
ring buffer, and will fail if it is not. This causes the test to fail.
The solution is to expand the max ring buffer before running the self
test if the max ring buffer is used by that tracer and the normal ring
buffer is expanded. The max ring buffer should be shrunk again after
the test is done to save space.

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.
The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.
The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.

Add an "overwrite" trace_option for ftrace to control whether the buffer should
be overwritten on overflow or not. The default remains to overwrite old events
when the buffer is full. This patch adds the option to instead discard newest
events when the buffer is full. This is useful to get a snapshot of traces just
after enabling traces. Dropping the current event is also a simpler code path.

In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several
timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the
call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard.
Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint
function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address
(preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along
with the debugobjects type.
Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.

a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare();
however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might.
Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed,
provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear
the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference
and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare().
b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck
dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching
dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no
negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into
that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it!
Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed.

The current scheduler implementation returns -EPERM when trying to
change from SCHED_IDLE to SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH. Since SCHED_IDLE
is considered to be a nice 20 on steroids, changing to another policy
should be allowed provided the RLIMIT_NICE is accounted for.

The current sched rt code is broken when it comes to hierarchical
scheduling, this patch fixes two problems
1. It adds redundant enqueuing (harmless) when it finds a queue
has tasks enqueued, but it has no run time and it is not
throttled.
2. The most important change is in sched_rt_rq_enqueue/dequeue.
The code just picks the rt_rq belonging to the current cpu
on which the period timer runs, the patch fixes it, so that
the correct rt_se is enqueued/dequeued.
Tested with a simple hierarchy
/c/d, c and d assigned similar runtimes of 50,000 and a while
1 loop runs within "d". Both c and d get throttled, without
the patch, the task just stops running and never runs (depends
on where the sched_rt b/w timer runs). With the patch, the
task is throttled and runs as expected.

If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use
blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions
in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits
from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write we get:
write_test-2409 [001] 160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + =
8 [write_test]
Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and
blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more.
With this patch, after a sync write we get:

Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
"threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
impact in the interrupt hotpath.
Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.
Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
handling into thread context.
When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

For level type interrupts we need to track how many threads are on
flight to avoid useless interrupt storms when not all thread handlers
have finished yet. Keep track of the woken threads and only unmask
when there are no more threads in flight.
Yes, I'm lazy and using a bitfield. But not only because I'm lazy, the
main reason is that it's way simpler than using a refcount. A refcount
based solution would need to keep track of various things like
crashing the irq thread, spurious interrupts coming in,
disables/enables, free_irq() and some more. The bitfield keeps the
tracking simple and makes things just work. It's also nicely confined
to the thread code pathes and does not require additional checks all
over the place.

On a 2*6*2 machine something like:
taskset -c 3-11 bash -c 'for ((i=0;i<9;i++)) do while :; do :; done & done'
_should_ result in 9 busy CPUs, each running 1 task.
However it didn't quite work reliably, most of the time one cpu of the
second socket (6-11) would be idle and one cpu of the first socket
(0-5) would have two tasks on it.
The group_imb logic is supposed to deal with this and detect when a
particular group is imbalanced (like in our case, 0-2 are idle but 3-5
will have 4 tasks on it).
The detection phase needed a bit of a tweak as it was too weak and
required more than 2 avg weight tasks difference between idle and busy
cpus in the group which won't trigger for our test-case. So cure that
to be one or more avg task weight difference between cpus.
Once the detection phase worked, it was then defeated by the f_b_g()
tests trying to avoid ping-pongs. In particular, this_load >= max_load
triggered because the pulling cpu (the (first) idle cpu in on the
second socket, say 6) would find this_load to be 5 and max_load to be
4 (there'd be 5 tasks running on our socket and only 4 on the other
socket).

CLOCK_MONOTONIC stops while the system is in suspend. This is because
to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a
growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware,
but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME
(which might jump around if settimeofday is called).
For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also
includes any time spent in suspend.
This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using
get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow

The hrtimer code is written mainly with CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC
in mind. These are clockids 0 and 1 resepctively. However, if we are
to introduce any new hrtimer bases, using new clockids, we have to skip
the cputimers (clockids 2,3) as well as other clockids that may not impelement
timers.
This patch adds a little bit of indirection between the clockid and
the base, so that we can extend the base by one when we add
a new clockid at number 7 or so.

The runtime expansion of nr_irqs does not take into account that
bitmap_find_next_zero_area() returns "start" + size in case the search
for an matching zero area fails. That results in a start value which
can be completely off and is not covered by the following
expand_nr_irqs() and possibly outside of the absolute limit. But we
use it without further checking.
Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as the limit for the bitmap search and expand
nr_irqs when the start bit is beyond nr_irqs. So start is always
pointing to the correct area in the bitmap. nr_irqs is just the limit
for irq enumerations, not the real limit for the irq space.

With the chip.end() function gone we might run into a situation where
a poll call runs and the real interrupt comes in, sees IRQ_INPROGRESS
and disables the line. That might be a perfect working one, which will
then be masked forever.
So mark them polled while the poll runs. When the real handler sees
IRQ_INPROGRESS it checks the poll flag and waits for the polling to
complete. Add the necessary amount of sanity checks to it to avoid
deadlocks.

While rumaging through arch code I found that there are a few
workarounds which deal with the fact that the initial affinity setting
from request_irq() copies the mask into irq_data->affinity before the
chip code is called. In the normal path we unconditionally copy the
mask when the chip code returns 0.
Copy after the code is called and add a return code
IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY for the chip functions, which prevents the
copy. That way we see the real mask when the chip function decided to
truncate it further as some arches do. IRQ_SET_MASK_OK is 0, which is
the current behaviour.

We face more and more the requirement to expand nr_irqs at

early boot stage. So we speculate nr_irqs to have enough room. Further
Xen needs extra irq numbers and we really want to avoid adding more
"detection" code into the early boot. There is no real good reason why
we need to limit nr_irqs at early boot.

With CONFIG_SHIRQ_DEBUG=y we call a newly installed interrupt handler
in request_threaded_irq().
The original implementation (commit a304e1b8) called the handler
_BEFORE_ it was installed, but that caused problems with handlers
calling disable_irq_nosync(). See commit 377bf1e4.
It's braindead in the first place to call disable_irq_nosync in shared
handlers, but ....
Moving this call after we installed the handler looks innocent, but it
is very subtle broken on SMP.
Interrupt handlers rely on the fact, that the irq core prevents
reentrancy.
Now this debug call violates that promise because we run the handler
w/o the IRQ_INPROGRESS protection - which we cannot apply here because
that would result in a possibly forever masked interrupt line.
A concurrent real hardware interrupt on a different CPU results in
handler reentrancy and can lead to complete wreckage, which was
unfortunately observed in reality and took a fricking long time to
debug.
Leave the code here for now. We want this debug feature, but that's
not easy to fix. We really should get rid of those
disable_irq_nosync() abusers and remove that function completely.

Lars-Peter Clausen pointed out:
I stumbled upon this while looking through the existing archs using
SPARSE_IRQ. Even with SPARSE_IRQ the NR_IRQS is still the upper
limit for the number of IRQs.
Both PXA and MMP set NR_IRQS to IRQ_BOARD_START, with
IRQ_BOARD_START being the number of IRQs used by the core.
In various machine files the nr_irqs field of the ARM machine
defintion struct is then set to "IRQ_BOARD_START + NR_BOARD_IRQS".
As a result "nr_irqs" will greater then NR_IRQS which then again
causes the "allocated_irqs" bitmap in the core irq code to be
accessed beyond its size overwriting unrelated data.
The core code really misses a sanity check there.
This went unnoticed so far as by chance the compiler/linker places
data behind that bitmap which gets initialized later on those affected
platforms.
So the obvious fix would be to add a sanity check in early_irq_init()
and break all affected platforms. Though that check wants to be
backported to stable as well, which will require to fix all known
problematic platforms and probably some more yet not known ones as
well. Lots of churn.
A way simpler solution is to allocate a slightly larger bitmap and
avoid the whole churn w/o breaking anything. Add a few warnings when
an arch returns utter crap.

This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.
The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.
For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:
struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;
cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);

This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector. I don't think it
will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
somewhere. Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
conditions are expected to be interlocked. Although the window of
opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.
On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.
ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.
The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1.

When creating a new filter, instead of allocating the filter to the

process a temporary filter and then just swap it with the call filter.
By doing this, it simplifies the code.
A filter is allocated and processed, when it is done, it is
swapped with the call filter, synchronize_sched() is called to make
sure all callers are done with the old filter (filters are called
with premption disabled), and then the old filter is freed.

There are many cases that a filter will contain multiple ORs or

If there are several ORs or ANDs together, fold them into a single

Currently the filter_match_preds() requires a stack to push
and pop the preds to determine if the filter matches the record or not.
This has two drawbacks:
1) It requires a stack to store state information. As this is done
in fast paths we can't allocate the storage for this stack, and
we can't use a global as it must be re-entrant. The stack is stored
on the kernel stack and this greatly limits how many preds we
may allow.
2) All conditions are calculated even when a short circuit exists.
a || b will always calculate a and b even though a was determined
to be true.
Using a tree we can walk a constant structure that will save
the state as we go. The algorithm is simply:
pred = root;
do {
switch (move) {
case MOVE_DOWN:
if (OR or AND) {
pred = left;
continue;
}
if (pred == root)
break;
match = pred->fn();
pred = pred->parent;
move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT;
continue;
case MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT:
/* Only OR or AND can be a parent */
if (match && OR || !match && AND) {
/* short circuit */
if (pred == root)
break;
pred = pred->parent;
move = left child ?
MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT :
MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT;
continue;
}
pred = pred->right;
move = MOVE_DOWN;
continue;
case MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT:
if (pred == root)
break;
pred = pred->parent;
move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT;
continue;
}
done = 1;
} while (!done);
This way there's no strict limit to how many preds we allow
and it also will short circuit the logical operations when possible.

Currently we allocate an array of pointers to filter_preds, and then
allocate a separate filter_pred for each item in the array.
This adds slight overhead in the filters as it needs to derefernce
twice to get to the op condition.

as well as helps on the cache footprint.

For every filter that is made, we create predicates to hold every
operation within the filter. We have a max of 32 predicates that we

Part of the reason we do this is that the filter can be used at
any moment by any event. Fortunately, the filter is only used
with preemption disabled. By reseting the count of preds used "n_preds"
to zero, then performing a synchronize_sched(), we can safely
free and reallocate a new array of preds.

Currently the syscall_meta structures for the syscall tracepoints are
placed in the __syscall_metadata section, and at link time, the linker
makes one large array of all these syscall metadata structures. On boot
up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall
data is processed.
The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.
A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).
Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.
The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler
changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with
respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller:
use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export
this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se.
It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8
for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes.
History:
commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE()
added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures
to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte
multiples.
One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying
both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and
declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5.
The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment
for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on
larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an
array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the
extra unexpected padding.

Currently only implemented for fair class tasks.
Add a yield_to_task method() to the fair scheduling class. allowing the
caller of yield_to() to accelerate another thread in it's thread group,
task group.
Implemented via a scheduler hint, using cfs_rq->next to encourage the
target being selected. We can rely on pick_next_entity to keep things
fair, so noone can accelerate a thread that has already used its fair
share of CPU time.
This also means callers should only call yield_to when they really

Use the buddy mechanism to implement yield_task_fair. This
allows us to skip onto the next highest priority se at every
level in the CFS tree, unless doing so would introduce gross
unfairness in CPU time distribution.
We order the buddy selection in pick_next_entity to check
yield first, then last, then next. We need next to be able
to override yield, because it is possible for the "next" and
"yield" task to be different processen in the same sub-tree
of the CFS tree. When they are, we need to go into that
sub-tree regardless of the "yield" hint, and pick the correct
entity once we get to the right level.

The clear_buddies function does not seem to play well with the concept
of hierarchical runqueues. In the following tree, task groups are
represented by 'G', tasks by 'T', next by 'n' and last by 'l'.
(nl)
/ \
G(nl) G
/ \ \
T(l) T(n) T
This situation can arise when a task is woken up T(n), and the previously
running task T(l) is marked last.
When clear_buddies is called from either T(l) or T(n), the next and last
buddies of the group G(nl) will be cleared. This is not the desired
result, since we would like to be able to find the other type of buddy
in many cases.
This especially a worry when implementing yield_task_fair through the
buddy system.
The fix is simple: only clear the buddy type that the task itself
is indicated to be. As an added bonus, we stop walking up the tree
when the buddy has already been cleared or pointed elsewhere.

With CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED, each task_group has its own cfs_rq.
Yielding to a task from another cfs_rq may be worthwhile, since

Oleg reported that on architectures with
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI from
task_oncpu_function_call() can land before perf_event_task_sched_in()
and cause interesting situations for eg. perf_install_in_context().
This patch reworks the task_oncpu_function_call() interface to give a
more usable primitive as well as rework all its users to hopefully be
more obvious as well as remove the races.
While looking at the code I also found a number of races against
perf_event_task_sched_out() which can flip contexts between tasks so

Currently the trace_event structures are placed in the _ftrace_events
section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all
the trace_event structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like
the initcall sections) and the events are processed.
The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.
A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).
Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the _ftrace_event section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.
The _ftrace_event section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

This patch adds support for adding and removing posix clocks. The
clock lifetime cycle is patterned after usb devices. Each clock is
represented by a standard character device. In addition, the driver
may optionally implement custom character device operations.
The posix clock and timer system calls listed below now work with
dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks.
The following system calls are affected:
- clock_adjtime (brand new syscall)
- clock_gettime
- clock_getres
- clock_settime
- timer_create
- timer_delete
- timer_gettime
- timer_settime

In current rtmutex, the pending owner may be boosted by the tasks
in the rtmutex's waitlist when the pending owner is deboosted
or a task in the waitlist is boosted. This boosting is unrelated,
because the pending owner does not really take the rtmutex.
It is not reasonable.
Example.
time1:
A(high prio) onwers the rtmutex.
B(mid prio) and C (low prio) in the waitlist.
time2
A release the lock, B becomes the pending owner
A(or other high prio task) continues to run. B's prio is lower
than A, so B is just queued at the runqueue.
time3
A or other high prio task sleeps, but we have passed some time
The B and C's prio are changed in the period (time2 ~ time3)
due to boosting or deboosting. Now C has the priority higher
than B. ***Is it reasonable that C has to boost B and help B to
get the rtmutex?
NO!! I think, it is unrelated/unneed boosting before B really
owns the rtmutex. We should give C a chance to beat B and
win the rtmutex.
This is the motivation of this patch. This patch *ensures*
only the top waiter or higher priority task can take the lock.
How?
1) we don't dequeue the top waiter when unlock, if the top waiter
is changed, the old top waiter will fail and go to sleep again.
2) when requiring lock, it will get the lock when the lock is not taken and:
there is no waiter OR higher priority than waiters OR it is top waiter.
3) In any time, the top waiter is changed, the top waiter will be woken up.
The algorithm is much simpler than before, no pending owner, no
boosting for pending owner.
Other advantage of this patch:
1) The states of a rtmutex are reduced a half, easier to read the code.
2) the codes become shorter.
3) top waiter is not dequeued until it really take the lock:
they will retain FIFO when it is stolen.
Not advantage nor disadvantage
1) Even we may wakeup multiple waiters(any time when top waiter changed),
we hardly cause "thundering herd",
the number of wokenup task is likely 1 or very little.
2) two APIs are changed.
rt_mutex_owner() will not return pending owner, it will return NULL when
the top waiter is going to take the lock.
rt_mutex_next_owner() always return the top waiter.
will not return NULL if we have waiters
because the top waiter is not dequeued.
I have fixed the code that use these APIs.
need updated after this patch is accepted

a mismatch in the sizing of struct callchain_cpus_entries.
nr_cpu_ids must be used instead of num_possible_cpus(), or we

When a task is taken out of the fair class we must ensure the vruntime
is properly normalized because when we put it back in it will assume
to be normalized.
The case that goes wrong is when changing away from the fair class
while sleeping. Sleeping tasks have non-normalized vruntime in order
to make sleeper-fairness work. So treat the switch away from fair as a
wakeup and preserve the relative vruntime.
Also update sysrq-n to call the ->switch_{to,from} methods.

CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING adds ns granularity irq time on each CPU.
This info is already used in scheduler to do proper task chargeback
(earlier patches). This patch retro-fits this ns granularity
hardirq and softirq information to /proc/stat irq and softirq fields.
The update is still done on timer tick, where we look at accumulated
ns hardirq/softirq time and account the tick to user/system/irq/hardirq/guest
accordingly.
No new interface added.
Earlier versions looked at adding this as new fields in some /proc
files. This one seems to be the best in terms of impact to existing
apps, even though it has somewhat more kernel code than earlier versions.

Since cfs->{load_stamp,load_last} are zero-initalized the initial load update
will consider the delta to be 'since the beginning of time'.
This results in a lot of pointless divisions to bring this large period to be
within the sysctl_sched_shares_window.
Fix this by initializing load_stamp to be 1 at cfs_rq initialization, this
allows for an initial load_stamp > load_last which then lets standard idle
truncation proceed.
We avoid spinning (and slightly improve consistency) by fixing delta to be
[period - 1] in this path resulting in a slightly more predictable shares ramp.
(Previously the amount of idle time preserved by the overflow would range between
[period/2,period-1].)

Since updates are against an entity's queuing cfs_rq it's not possible to
enter update_cfs_{shares,load} with a NULL cfs_rq. (Indeed, update_cfs_load
would crash prior to the check if we did anyway since we load is examined
during the initializers).
Also, in the update_cfs_load case there's no point
in maintaining averages for rq->cfs_rq since we don't perform shares
distribution at that level -- NULL check is replaced accordingly.

While care is taken around the zero-point in effective_load to not exceed

result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()
This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.
The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()
This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

Michael Witten and Christian Kujau reported that the autogroup
scheduling feature hurts interactivity on their UP systems.
It turns out that this is an older bug in the group scheduling code,
and the wider appeal provided by the autogroup feature exposed it
more prominently.
When on UP with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled, tune shares
only affect tg->shares, but is not reflected in
tg->se->load. The reason is that update_cfs_shares()
does nothing on UP.
So introduce update_cfs_shares() for UP && FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.
This issue was found when enable autogroup scheduling was enabled,
but it is an older bug that also exists on cgroup.cpu on UP.

Currently only drivers that are built as modules have their versions
shown in /sys/module/<module_name>/version, but this information might
also be useful for built-in drivers as well. This especially important
for drivers that do not define any parameters - such drivers, if
built-in, are completely invisible from userspace.
This patch changes MODULE_VERSION() macro so that in case when we are
compiling built-in module, version information is stored in a separate
section. Kernel then uses this data to create 'version' sysfs attribute
in the same fashion it creates attributes for module parameters.

But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork

We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the
refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and
find it partially initailzed for the next trip. Presently we also clear
the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies
getting write access to the line. After the function is called we then
decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure.
However, this implies getting write access to the call function data
before and after another the function is called. If we can assert that no
smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then
we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing
both writes with one cache line bounce.
On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time
to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was
reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms.
I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even
though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the
information needed.

I noticed a failure where we hit the following WARN_ON in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt:
if (!cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpumask))
continue;
data->csd.func(data->csd.info);
refs = atomic_dec_return(&data->refs);
WARN_ON(refs < 0); <-------------------------
We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the
number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0. How can this be?
It turns out commit 54fdade1c3
("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It
removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a
rather complicated race.
The problem comes about because:
- The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue
without any locking.
- We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many.
- We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next
smp_call_function_many.
Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back,
and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU
C handles the calls:
CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
data from CPU A on list
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
(stale) CPU A on list
smp_call_function int
clears last ref on A
list_del_rcu, unlock
smp_call_function reuses
percpu *data A
data->cpumask sees and
clears bit in cpumask
might be using old or new fn!
decrements refs below 0
set data->refs (too late!)
The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a
potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another
cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner
is in the process of initialising it.
The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC
box (having 128 threads does help :)
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#define ITERATIONS 100

}

{

for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++)

I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and
->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able
to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous
iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then
->refs _again_.
Thanks to Milton Miller and Paul McKenney for helping to debug this issue.

percpu may end up calling vfree() during early boot which in
turn may call on_each_cpu() for TLB flushes. The function of
on_each_cpu() can be done safely while IRQ is disabled during
early boot but it assumed that the function is always called
with local IRQ enabled which ended up enabling local IRQ
prematurely during boot and triggering a couple of warnings.
This patch updates on_each_cpu() and smp_call_function_many()
such on_each_cpu() can be used safely while
early_boot_irqs_disabled is set.

During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is
properly initialized. During this time, no one should enable
local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with
IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require
communications with other processors, are allowed.
lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks.
As other subsystems need this information too, move it to
init/main.c and make it generally available. While at it,
toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of
enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true
indicates the exceptional condition.

When NOHZ=y and high res timers are disabled (via cmdline or
Kconfig) tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() will notify the user about
switching into NOHZ mode. Nothing is printed for the case where
HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y. Fix this for the HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y case by
duplicating the printk from the low res NOHZ path in the high
res NOHZ path.
This confused me since I was thinking 'dmesg | grep -i NOHZ' would
tell me if NOHZ was enabled, but if I have hrtimers there is
nothing.

find_get_context() must not install the new perf_event_context
if the task has already passed perf_event_exit_task().
If nothing else, this means the memory leak. Initially
ctx->refcount == 2, it is supposed that
perf_event_exit_task_context() should participate and do the
necessary put_ctx().
find_lively_task_by_vpid() checks PF_EXITING but this buys
nothing, by the time we call find_get_context() this task can be
already dead. To the point, cmpxchg() can succeed when the task
has already done the last schedule().
Change find_get_context() to populate task->perf_event_ctxp[]
under task->perf_event_mutex, this way we can trust PF_EXITING
because perf_event_exit_task() takes the same mutex.
Also, change perf_event_exit_task_context() to use
rcu_dereference(). Probably this is not strictly needed, but
with or without this change find_get_context() can race with
setup_new_exec()->perf_event_exit_task(), rcu_dereference()
looks better.

Linus reported that the RCU lockdep annotation bits triggered for this
rcu_dereference() because we're not holding rcu_read_lock().
Going over the code I cannot convince myself its correct:
- holding a ref on the parent_ctx, doesn't avoid it being uncloned
concurrently (as the comment says), so we can race with a free.
- holding parent_ctx->mutex doesn't avoid the above free from taking
place either, it would at best avoid parent_ctx from being freed.
I.e. the warning is correct. To fix the bug, serialize against the
unclone_ctx() call by extending the reach of the parent_ctx->lock.

Previously effective_load would approximate the global load weight present on
a group taking advantage of:
entity_weight = tg->shares ( lw / global_lw ), where entity_weight was provided
by tg_shares_up.
This worked (approximately) for an 'empty' (at tg level) cpu since we would
place boost load representative of what a newly woken task would receive.
However, now that load is instantaneously updated this assumption is no longer
true and the load calculation is rather incorrect in this case.
Fix this (and improve the general case) by re-writing effective_load to take
advantage of the new shares distribution code.

Because the adaptive synchronize_srcu_expedited() approach has
worked very well in testing, remove the kernel parameter and
replace it by a C-preprocessor macro. If someone finds problems
with this approach, a more complex and aggressively adaptive
approach might be required.
Longer term, SRCU will be merged with the other RCU implementations,
at which point synchronize_srcu_expedited() will be event driven,
just as synchronize_sched_expedited() currently is. At that point,
there will be no need for this adaptive approach.

Add khugepaged to relocate fragmented pages into hugepages if new
hugepages become available. (this is indipendent of the defrag logic that
will have to make new hugepages available)
The fundamental reason why khugepaged is unavoidable, is that some memory
can be fragmented and not everything can be relocated. So when a virtual
machine quits and releases gigabytes of hugepages, we want to use those
freely available hugepages to create huge-pmd in the other virtual
machines that may be running on fragmented memory, to maximize the CPU
efficiency at all times. The scan is slow, it takes nearly zero cpu time,
except when it copies data (in which case it means we definitely want to
pay for that cpu time) so it seems a good tradeoff.
In addition to the hugepages being released by other process releasing
memory, we have the strong suspicion that the performance impact of
potentially defragmenting hugepages during or before each page fault could
lead to more performance inconsistency than allocating small pages at
first and having them collapsed into large pages later... if they prove
themselfs to be long lived mappings (khugepaged scan is slow so short
lived mappings have low probability to run into khugepaged if compared to
long lived mappings).

This increase the size of the mm struct a bit but it is needed to
preallocate one pte for each hugepage so that split_huge_page will not
require a fail path. Guarantee of success is a fundamental property of
split_huge_page to avoid decrasing swapping reliability and to avoid
adding -ENOMEM fail paths that would otherwise force the hugepage-unaware
VM code to learn rolling back in the middle of its pte mangling operations
(if something we need it to learn handling pmd_trans_huge natively rather
being capable of rollback). When split_huge_page runs a pte is needed to
succeed the split, to map the newly splitted regular pages with a regular
pte. This way all existing VM code remains backwards compatible by just
adding a split_huge_page* one liner. The memory waste of those
preallocated ptes is negligible and so it is worth it.

Futex code is smarter than most other gup_fast O_DIRECT code and knows
about the compound internals. However now doing a put_page(head_page)
will not release the pin on the tail page taken by gup-fast, leading to
all sort of refcounting bugchecks. Getting a stable head_page is a little
tricky.
page_head = page is there because if this is not a tail page it's also the
page_head. Only in case this is a tail page, compound_head is called,
otherwise it's guaranteed unnecessary. And if it's a tail page
compound_head has to run atomically inside irq disabled section
__get_user_pages_fast before returning. Otherwise ->first_page won't be a
stable pointer.
Disableing irq before __get_user_page_fast and releasing irq after running
compound_head is needed because if __get_user_page_fast returns == 1, it
means the huge pmd is established and cannot go away from under us.
pmdp_splitting_flush_notify in __split_huge_page_splitting will have to
wait for local_irq_enable before the IPI delivery can return. This means
__split_huge_page_refcount can't be running from under us, and in turn
when we run compound_head(page) we're not reading a dangling pointer from
tailpage->first_page. Then after we get to stable head page, we are
always safe to call compound_lock and after taking the compound lock on
head page we can finally re-check if the page returned by gup-fast is
still a tail page. in which case we're set and we didn't need to split
the hugepage in order to take a futex on it.

We'd like to be able to oom_score_adj a process up/down as it
enters/leaves the foreground. Currently, it is not possible to oom_adj
down without CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. This patch allows a task to decrease its
oom_score_adj back to the value that a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread set it to
or its inherited value at fork. Assuming the thread that has forked it
has oom_score_adj of 0, each process could decrease it back from 0 upon
activation unless a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread elevated it to something
higher.
Alternative considered:
* a setuid binary
* a daemon with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
Since you don't wan't all processes to be able to reduce their oom_adj, a
setuid or daemon implementation would be complex. The alternatives also
have much higher overhead.

Use modern per_cpu API to increment {soft|hard}irq counters, and use
per_cpu allocation for (struct irq_desc)->kstats_irq instead of an array.
This gives better SMP/NUMA locality and saves few instructions per irq.
With small nr_cpuids values (8 for example), kstats_irq was a small array
(less than L1_CACHE_BYTES), potentially source of false sharing.
In the !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ case, remove the huge, NUMA/cache unfriendly
kstat_irqs_all[NR_IRQS][NR_CPUS] array.
Note: we still populate kstats_irq for all possible irqs in
early_irq_init(). We probably could use on-demand allocations. (Code
included in alloc_descs()). Problem is not all IRQS are used with a prior
alloc_descs() call.
kstat_irqs_this_cpu() is not used anymore, remove it.

This commit adds hardpps() implementation based upon the original one from
the NTPv4 reference kernel code from David Mills. However, it is highly
optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS
signal. The typical error is less then a microsecond.
To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so
that the full phase offset is corrected immediately. Then I also had to
throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if
used without exponential filter.
Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's
not necessary if the signal quality is ok.

Commit 4be2c95d ("taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment
issues on ia64") added a null field to align the taskstats structure but
the discussion centered around ia64. The issue exists on other platforms
with inefficient unaligned access and adding them piecemeal would be an
unmaintainable mess.
This patch uses Dave Miller's suggestion of using a combination of
CONFIG_64BIT && !CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to determine
whether alignment is needed.
Note that this will cause breakage on those platforms with applications
like iotop which had hard-coded offsets into the packet to access the
taskstats structure.
The message seen on systems without the alignment fixes looks like: kernel
unaligned access to 0xe000023879dca9bc, ip=0xa000000100133d10
The addresses may vary but resolve to locations inside __delayacct_add_tsk.
iotop makes what I'd call unreasonable assumptions about the contents of a
netlink genetlink packet containing generic attributes. They're typed and
have headers that specify value lengths, so the client can (should)
identify and skip the ones the client doesn't understand.
The kernel, as of version 2.6.36, presented a packet like so:
+--------------------------------+
| genlmsghdr - 4 bytes |
+--------------------------------+
| NLA header - 4 bytes | /* Aggregate header */
+-+------------------------------+
| | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* PID header */
| +------------------------------+
| | pid/tgid - 4 bytes |
| +------------------------------+
| | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* stats header */
| + -----------------------------+ <- oops. aligned on 4 byte boundary
| | struct taskstats - 328 bytes |
+-+------------------------------+
The iotop code expects that the kernel will behave as it did then,
assuming that the packet format is set in stone. The format is set in
stone, but the packet offsets are not. There's nothing in the packet
format that guarantees that the packet will be sent in exactly the same
way. The attribute contents are set (or versioned) and the aggregate
contents are set but they can be anywhere in the packet.
The issue here isn't that an unaligned structure gets passed to userspace,
it's that the NLA infrastructure has something of a weakness: The 4 byte
attribute header may force the payload to be unaligned. The taskstats
structure is created at an unaligned location and then 64-bit values are
operated on inside the kernel, so the unaligned access warnings gets
spewed everywhere.
It's possible to use the unaligned access API to operate on the structure
in the kernel but it seems like a wasted effort to work around userspace
code that isn't following the packet format. Any new additions would also
need the be worked around. It's a maintenance nightmare.
The conclusion of the earlier discussion seemed to be "ok fine, if we have
to break it, don't break it on arches that don't have the problem." Dave
pointed out that the unaligned access problem doesn't only exist on ia64,
but also on other 64-bit arches that don't have efficient unaligned access
and it should be fixed there as well. The committed version of the patch
and this addition keep with the conclusion of that discussion not to break
it unnecessarily, which the pid padding and the packet padding fixes did
do. x86_64 and powerpc don't suffer this problem so they shouldn't suffer
the solution. Other 64-bit architectures do and will, though.

If we allocate a separate cache for it and reduce the hash size from 128

Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
sysctl.
The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.
If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.
This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support.
Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information
from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer
handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a
special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that.
Known issue:
- Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified
via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay
printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe.
v2:
- adjust printk format per comments.

Currently, the lockdep annotation in flush_work() requires exclusive

warning if a work is trying to flush another work on the same
workqueue; however, this is no longer true as workqueues can now
execute multiple works concurrently.
This patch adds lock_map_acquire_read() and make process_one_work()
hold read access to the workqueue while executing a work and
start_flush_work() check for write access if concurrnecy level is one
or the workqueue has a rescuer (as only one execution resource - the
rescuer - is guaranteed to be available under memory pressure), and
read access if higher.
This better represents what's going on and removes spurious lockdep
warnings which are triggered by fake dependency chain created through
flush_work().

The comment about why rt_mutex_next_owner() can return NULL in
wake_futex_pi() is not the normal case.
Tracing the cause of why this occurs is more likely that waiter
simply timedout. But because it originally caused contention with
the futex, the owner will go into the kernel when it unlocks
the lock. Then it will hit this code path and
rt_mutex_next_owner() will return NULL.

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.
Patched with:
git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).
Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.
Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a
0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when
we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock.
Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.
This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.
Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Switching d_op on a live dentry is racy in general, so avoid it. In this case
it is a negative dentry, which is safer, but there are still concurrent ops
which may be called on d_op in that case (eg. d_revalidate). So in general
a filesystem may not do this. Fix cgroupfs so as not to do this.

wait_for_completion_*_timeout() can return:
0: if the wait timed out
-ve: if the wait was interrupted
+ve: if the completion was completed.
As they currently return an 'unsigned long', the last two cases
are not easily distinguished which can easily result in buggy
code, as is the case for the recently added
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() call in
net/sunrpc/cache.c
So change them both to return 'long'. As MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT
is LONG_MAX, a large +ve return value should never overflow.

is replaced with:
power:cpu_frequency
power:machine_suspend is newly introduced.
Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer

When hibernation failed due to an error in swsusp_write() called by
hibernate(), it skips calling "power_down()" and returns. When
hibernate() is called again (probably after fixing up so that
swsusp_write() wouldn't fail again), before "in_suspend = 1" of
create_image is called, in_suspend should be 0. However, because
hibernate() did not reset "in_suspend" after a failure, it's already 1.
This patch fixes such inconsistency of "in_suspend" value.

After calling freeze_task(), try_to_freeze_tasks() see whether the
task is stopped or traced and if so, considers it to be frozen;
however, nothing guarantees that either the task being frozen sees
TIF_FREEZE or the freezer sees TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_RUNNING
transition. The task being frozen may wake up and not see TIF_FREEZE
while the freezer fails to notice the transition and believes the task
is still stopped.
This patch fixes the race by making freeze_task() always go through
fake_signal_wake_up() for applicable tasks. The function goes through
the target task's scheduler lock and thus guarantees that either the
target sees TIF_FREEZE or try_to_freeze_task() sees TASK_RUNNING.

Fix two related problems in the event-copying loop of
ring_buffer_read_page.
The loop condition for copying events is off-by-one.
"len" is the remaining space in the caller-supplied page.
"size" is the size of the next event (or two events).
If len == size, then there is just enough space for the next event.
size was set to rb_event_ts_length, which may include the size of two
events if the first event is a time-extend, in order to assure time-
extends are kept together with the event after it. However,
rb_advance_reader always advances by one event. This would result in the
event after any time-extend being duplicated. Instead, get the size of
a single event for the memcpy, but use rb_event_ts_length for the loop
condition.

The cause was that the module text was set to read only before ftrace
could convert the calls to mcount to nops. Thus, the conversions failed
due to not being able to write to the text locations.
The simple fix is to move setting the module to read only after the
module notifiers are called (where ftrace sets the module mcounts to nops).

The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the
layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4
bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes
the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like
ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the
NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will
always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the
start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't
want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that
require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those
packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef
should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident
that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding
before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type.
Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems")
previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field.
This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances
described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change,
since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide
the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an
aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure
weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

Currently, destroy_workqueue() makes the workqueue deny all new
queueing by setting WQ_DYING and flushes the workqueue once before
proceeding with destruction; however, there are cases where work items
queue more related work items. Currently, such users need to
explicitly flush the workqueue multiple times depending on the
possible depth of such chained queueing.
This patch updates the queueing path such that a work item can queue
further work items on the same workqueue even when WQ_DYING is set.
The flush on destruction is automatically retried until the workqueue
is empty. This guarantees that the workqueue is empty on destruction
while allowing chained queueing.
The flush retry logic whines if it takes too many retries to drain the
workqueue.

Mike Galbraith reported poor interactivity[*] when the new shares distribution
code was combined with autogroups.
The root cause turns out to be a mis-ordering of accounting accrued execution
time and shares updates. Since update_curr() is issued hierarchically,
updating the parent entity weights to reflect child enqueue/dequeue results in
the parent's unaccounted execution time then being accrued (vs vruntime) at the
new weight as opposed to the weight present at accumulation.
While this doesn't have much effect on processes with timeslices that cross a
tick, it is particularly problematic for an interactive process (e.g. Xorg)
which incurs many (tiny) timeslices. In this scenario almost all updates are
at dequeue which can result in significant fairness perturbation (especially if
it is the only thread, resulting in potential {tg->shares, MIN_SHARES}
transitions).
Correct this by ensuring unaccounted time is accumulated prior to manipulating
an entity's weight.

Long running entities that do not block (dequeue) require periodic updates to
maintain accurate share values. (Note: group entities with several threads are
quite likely to be non-blocking in many circumstances).
By virtue of being long-running however, we will see entity ticks (otherwise
the required update occurs in dequeue/put and we are done). Thus we can move
the detection (and associated work) for these updates into the periodic path.
This restores the 'atomicity' of update_curr() with respect to accounting.

When the current __call_rcu() function was written, the expedited
APIs did not exist. The __call_rcu() implementation therefore went
to great lengths to detect the end of old grace periods and to start
new ones, all in the name of reducing grace-period latency. Now the
expedited APIs do exist, and the usage of __call_rcu() has increased
considerably. This commit therefore causes __call_rcu() to avoid
worrying about grace periods unless there are a large number of
RCU callbacks stacked up on the current CPU.

Some recent benchmarks have indicated possible lock contention on the
leaf-level rcu_node locks. This commit therefore limits the number of
CPUs per leaf-level rcu_node structure to 16, in other words, there
can be at most 16 rcu_data structures fanning into a given rcu_node
structure. Prior to this, the limit was 32 on 32-bit systems and 64 on
64-bit systems.
Note that the fanout of non-leaf rcu_node structures is unchanged. The
organization of accesses to the rcu_node tree is such that references
to non-leaf rcu_node structures are much less frequent than to the
leaf structures.

When a CPU that was in an extended quiescent state wakes
up and catches up with grace periods that remote CPUs
completed on its behalf, we update the completed field
but not the gpnum that keeps a stale value of a backward
grace period ID.
Later, note_new_gpnum() will interpret the shift between
the local CPU and the node grace period ID as some new grace
period to handle and will then start to hunt quiescent state.
But if every grace periods have already been completed, this
interpretation becomes broken. And we'll be stuck in clusters
of spurious softirqs because rcu_report_qs_rdp() will make
this broken state run into infinite loop.
The solution, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan, is to ensure that
the gpnum and completed fields are well synchronized when we catch
up with completed grace periods on their behalf by other cpus.
This way we won't start noting spurious new grace periods.

When a CPU is idle and others CPUs handled its extended
quiescent state to complete grace periods on its behalf,
it will catch up with completed grace periods numbers
when it wakes up.
But at this point there might be no more grace period to
complete, but still the woken CPU always keeps its stale
qs_pending value and will then continue to chase quiescent
states even if its not needed anymore.
This results in clusters of spurious softirqs until a new
real grace period is started. Because if we continue to
chase quiescent states but we have completed every grace
periods, rcu_report_qs_rdp() is puzzled and makes that
state run into infinite loops.
As suggested by Lai Jiangshan, just reset qs_pending if
someone completed every grace periods on our behalf.

This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it

Sometimes that can be done by just putting a region in the resource tree,
but there are cases where that doesn't work well. For example, x86 BIOS
E820 reservations are not related to devices, so they may overlap part of,
all of, or more than a device resource, so they may not end up at the

hibernation on Fedora 14 that apparently doesn't pass the resume=

space. This doesn't work, because the signature is now different,
so the old signature has to be restored to avoid the problem.

Because we need to support the existing static types we cannot use

Since the irqtime accounting is using non-atomic u64 and can be read
from remote cpus (writes are strictly cpu local, reads are not) we
have to deal with observing partial updates.
When we do observe partial updates the clock movement (in particular,
->clock_task movement) will go funny (in either direction), a
subsequent clock update (observing the full update) will make it go
funny in the oposite direction.
Since we rely on these clocks to be strictly monotonic we cannot
suffer backwards motion. One possible solution would be to simply
ignore all backwards deltas, but that will lead to accounting
artefacts, most notable: clock_task + irq_time != clock, this
inaccuracy would end up in user visible stats.
Therefore serialize the reads using a seqcount.

Some ARM systems have a short sched_clock() [ which needs to be fixed
too ], but this exposed a bug in the irq_time code as well, it doesn't
deal with wraps at all.
Fix the irq_time code to deal with u64 wraps by re-writing the code to
only use delta increments, which avoids the whole issue.

In worker_thread() we have:
worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP);

worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP, false);

The wq_worker_sleeping() is called from schedule when a worker thread
is putting itself to sleep. Which happens most of the time outside
of that [ do work stuff ].
The wq_worker_waking_up is called by the wakeup worker code, which
is also callod outside that [ do work stuff ].
Thus, the likely and unlikely used by those two functions are actually
backwards.

Use the reboot notifier to detach all running counters on reboot, this

It will however decrease the coverage of the NMI watchdog. Making a
kexec specific reboot notifier callback would be best, however that
would require touching all notifier callback handlers as they are not
properly structured to deal with new state.
As a compromise, place the perf reboot notifier at the very last

This fixes a bug as seen on 2.6.32 based kernels where timers got
enqueued on offline cpus.
If a cpu goes offline it might still have pending timers. These will
be migrated during CPU_DEAD handling after the cpu is offline.
However while the cpu is going offline it will schedule the idle task
which will then call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().
That function in turn will call get_next_timer_intterupt() to figure
out if the tick of the cpu can be stopped or not. If it turns out that
the next tick is just one jiffy off (delta_jiffies == 1)
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() incorrectly assumes that the tick should
not stop and takes an early exit and thus it won't update the load
balancer cpu.
Just afterwards the cpu will be killed and the load balancer cpu could
be the offline cpu.
On 2.6.32 based kernel get_nohz_load_balancer() gets called to decide
on which cpu a timer should be enqueued (see __mod_timer()). Which
leads to the possibility that timers get enqueued on an offline cpu.
These will never expire and can cause a system hang.
This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels
__mod_timer() uses get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that
problem. However there might be other problems because of the too
early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() in case a cpu goes offline.
The easiest and probably safest fix seems to be to let
get_next_timer_interrupt() just lie and let it say there isn't any
pending timer if the current cpu is offline.
I also thought of moving migrate_[hr]timers() from CPU_DEAD to
CPU_DYING, but seeing that there already have been fixes at least in
the hrtimer code in this area I'm afraid that this could add new
subtle bugs.

idle_balance() drops/retakes rq->lock, leaving the previous task
vulnerable to set_tsk_need_resched(). Clear it after we return
from balancing instead, and in setup_thread_stack() as well, so
no successfully descheduled or never scheduled task has it set.
Need resched confused the skip_clock_update logic, which assumes
that the next call to update_rq_clock() will come nearly immediately
after being set. Make the optimization robust against the waking
a sleeper before it sucessfully deschedules case by checking that
the current task has not been dequeued before setting the flag,
since it is that useless clock update we're trying to save, and
clear unconditionally in schedule() proper instead of conditionally
in put_prev_task().

There's a long-running regression that proved difficult to fix and
which is hitting certain people and is rather annoying in its effects.
Damien reported that after 74f5187ac8 (sched: Cure load average vs
NO_HZ woes) his load average is unnaturally high, he also noted that
even with that patch reverted the load avgerage numbers are not
correct.
The problem is that the previous patch only solved half the NO_HZ
problem, it addressed the part of going into NO_HZ mode, not of
comming out of NO_HZ mode. This patch implements that missing half.
When comming out of NO_HZ mode there are two important things to take
care of:
- Folding the pending idle delta into the global active count.
- Correctly aging the averages for the idle-duration.
So with this patch the NO_HZ interaction should be complete and
behaviour between CONFIG_NO_HZ=[yn] should be equivalent.
Furthermore, this patch slightly changes the load average computation
by adding a rounding term to the fixed point multiplication.

PM / Hibernate: Use async I/O when reading compressed hibernation image
There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of
a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents
of different memory pages while the image is being saved. Since the
kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory
corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on
systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often.
This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear
in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the
saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or
the hibernation is aborted. Unfortunately, for this purpose
it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and
suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask.
This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

This is a fix for reading LZO compressed image using async I/O.
Essentially, instead of having just one page into which we keep
reading blocks from swap, we allocate enough of them to cover the
largest compressed size and then let block I/O pick them all up. Once
we have them all (and here we wait), we decompress them, as usual.
Obviously, the very first block we still pick up synchronously,
because we need to know the size of the lot before we pick up the
rest.

Merge disabling kprobe to unregistering kprobe function
and add comments for disabing/unregistring process.
Current unregistering code disables(disarms) kprobes after
checking target kprobe status. This patch changes it to
disabling kprobe first after that it changing the kprobe's
state. This allows to share probe disabling code between
disable_kprobe() and unregister_kprobe().

Originally, "old_p" just meant "the old kprobe on given address"
but current code uses that name as "just another kprobe" or
something like that. This patch renames those pointer names
to more appropriate one for maintainability.

If a user manages to trigger an oops with fs set to KERNEL_DS, fs is not
otherwise reset before do_exit(). do_exit may later (via mm_release in
fork.c) do a put_user to a user-controlled address, potentially allowing
a user to leverage an oops into a controlled write into kernel memory.
This is only triggerable in the presence of another bug, but this
potentially turns a lot of DoS bugs into privilege escalations, so it's
worth fixing. I have proof-of-concept code which uses this bug along
with CVE-2010-3849 to write a zero to an arbitrary kernel address, so
I've tested that this is not theoretical.
A more logical place to put this fix might be when we know an oops has
occurred, before we call do_exit(), but that would involve changing
every architecture, in multiple places.
Let's just stick it in do_exit instead.

A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity. This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups. Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.
Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group. When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped. Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount. When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.
At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.
Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:
cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.
echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.
The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
the fly via:
echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.

The new (early 2010) implementation of synchronize_sched_expedited() uses
try_stop_cpu() to force a context switch on every CPU. It also permits
concurrent calls to synchronize_sched_expedited() to share a single call
to try_stop_cpu() through use of an atomically incremented
synchronize_sched_expedited_count variable. Unfortunately, this is
subject to failure as follows:
o Task A invokes synchronize_sched_expedited(), try_stop_cpus()
succeeds, but Task A is preempted before getting to the atomic
increment of synchronize_sched_expedited_count.
o Task B also invokes synchronize_sched_expedited(), with exactly
the same outcome as Task A.
o Task C also invokes synchronize_sched_expedited(), again with
exactly the same outcome as Tasks A and B.
o Task D also invokes synchronize_sched_expedited(), but only
gets as far as acquiring the mutex within try_stop_cpus()
before being preempted, interrupted, or otherwise delayed.
o Task E also invokes synchronize_sched_expedited(), but only
gets to the snapshotting of synchronize_sched_expedited_count.
o Tasks A, B, and C all increment synchronize_sched_expedited_count.
o Task E fails to get the mutex, so checks the new value
of synchronize_sched_expedited_count. It finds that the
value has increased, so (wrongly) assumes that its work
has been done, returning despite there having been no
expedited grace period since it began.
The solution is to have the lowest-numbered CPU atomically increment
the synchronize_sched_expedited_count variable within the
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() function, which is under
the protection of the mutex acquired by try_stop_cpus(). However, this
also requires that piggybacking tasks wait for three rather than two
instances of try_stop_cpu(), because we cannot control the order in
which the per-CPU callback function occur.

The spinning mutex implementation uses cpu_relax() in busy loops as a
compiler barrier. Depending on the architecture, cpu_relax() may do more
than needed in this specific mutex spin loops. On System z we also give
up the time slice of the virtual cpu in cpu_relax(), which prevents
effective spinning on the mutex.
This patch replaces cpu_relax() in the spinning mutex code with
arch_mutex_cpu_relax(), which can be defined by each architecture that
selects HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX. The default is still cpu_relax(), so
this patch should not affect other architectures than System z for now.

This patch fixes a hang observed with 2.6.32 kernels where timers got enqueued
on offline cpus.
printk_needs_cpu() may return 1 if called on offline cpus. When a cpu gets
offlined it schedules the idle process which, before killing its own cpu, will
call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). That function in turn will call
printk_needs_cpu() in order to check if the local tick can be disabled. On
offline cpus this function should naturally return 0 since regardless if the
tick gets disabled or not the cpu will be dead short after. That is besides the
fact that __cpu_disable() should already have made sure that no interrupts on
the offlined cpu will be delivered anyway.
In this case it prevents tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to call
select_nohz_load_balancer(). No idea if that really is a problem. However what
made me debug this is that on 2.6.32 the function get_nohz_load_balancer() is
used within __mod_timer() to select a cpu on which a timer gets enqueued. If
printk_needs_cpu() returns 1 then the nohz_load_balancer cpu doesn't get
updated when a cpu gets offlined. It may contain the cpu number of an offline
cpu. In turn timers get enqueued on an offline cpu and not very surprisingly
they never expire and cause system hangs.
This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses
get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might be
other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() in
case a cpu goes offline.
Easiest way to fix this is just to test if the current cpu is offline and call
printk_tick() directly which clears the condition.
Alternatively I tried a cpu hotplug notifier which would clear the condition,
however between calling the notifier function and printk_needs_cpu() something
could have called printk() again and the problem is back again. This seems to
be the safest fix.

wake_up_klogd() may get called from preemptible context but uses
__raw_get_cpu_var() to write to a per cpu variable. If it gets preempted
between getting the address and writing to it, the cpu in question could be
offline if the process gets scheduled back and hence writes to the per cpu data
of an offline cpu.
This buggy behaviour was introduced with fa33507a "printk: robustify
printk, fix#2" which was supposed to fix a "using smp_processor_id() in

Let's use this_cpu_write() instead which disables preemption and makes sure

This reverts commit 59365d136d.
It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:
"On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
and my box would not boot. klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
system.
At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in. It dropped back to the
text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
of time. dmesg surprisingly still works. I've bisected the problem
down to this commit (commit 59365d136d)
The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty). Yes, I know
that's old. I read the bit in the commit about changing the
permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
help."
So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts. This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

Currently we have in something like the sched_switch event:
field:char prev_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
When a userspace tool such as perf tries to parse this, the
TASK_COMM_LEN is meaningless. This is done because the TRACE_EVENT() macro
simply uses a #len to show the string of the length. When the length is
an enum, we get a string that means nothing for tools.
By adding a static buffer and a mutex to protect it, we can store the
string into that buffer with snprintf and show the actual number.
Now we get:
field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
Something much more useful.

This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by
splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts
each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each
individual section:
1. Code: RO+X
2. RO data: RO+NX
3. RW data: RW+NX
In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have
been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above
onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access
permissions are set right before successful exit from
load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have
been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right
before calling module_free().
By default, the original section layout and access flags are
preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y,
the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that
each page contains only one type of content and will enforce
RO/NX for each group of pages.
-v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch.
-v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs
and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also
been corrected.
-v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section
page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y.
-v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style.
-v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation
-v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only
-v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added
calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro()
in ftrace
-v8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5
-v9: coding style fixes
-v10: more coding style fixes

Avoid duplicate shares update calls by ensuring children always appear before
parents in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.
This allows us to do a single in-order traversal for update_shares().
Since we always enqueue in bottom-up order this reduces to 2 cases:
1) Our parent is already in the list, e.g.
root
\
b
/\
c d* (root->b->c already enqueued)
Since d's parent is enqueued we push it to the head of the list, implicitly ahead of b.
2) Our parent does not appear in the list (or we have no parent)
In this case we enqueue to the tail of the list, if our parent is subsequently enqueued
(bottom-up) it will appear to our right by the same rule.

Using cfs_rq->nr_running is not sufficient to synchronize update_cfs_load with
the put path since nr_running accounting occurs at deactivation.
It's also not safe to make the removal decision based on load_avg as this fails
with both high periods and low shares. Resolve this by clipping history after
4 periods without activity.
Note: the above will always occur from update_shares() since in the
last-task-sleep-case that task will still be cfs_rq->curr when update_cfs_load
is called.

As part of enqueue_entity both a new entity weight and its contribution to the
queuing cfs_rq / rq are updated. Since update_cfs_shares will only update the
queueing weights when the entity is on_rq (which in this case it is not yet),
there's a dependency loop here:
update_cfs_shares needs account_entity_enqueue to update cfs_rq->load.weight
account_entity_enqueue needs the updated weight for the queuing cfs_rq load[*]
Fix this and avoid spurious dequeue/enqueues by issuing update_cfs_shares as
if we had accounted the enqueue already.
This was also resulting in rq->load corruption previously.
[*]: this dependency also exists when using the group cfs_rq w/
update_cfs_shares as the weight of the enqueued entity changes
without the load being updated.

While discussing the need for sched_idle_next(), Oleg remarked that
since try_to_wake_up() ensures sleeping tasks will end up running on a
sane cpu, we can do away with migrate_live_tasks().
If we then extend the existing hack of migrating current from
CPU_DYING to migrating the full rq worth of tasks from CPU_DYING, the
need for the sched_idle_next() abomination disappears as well, since
idle will be the only possible thread left after the migration thread
stops.
This greatly simplifies the hot-unplug task migration path, as can be
seen from the resulting code reduction (and about half the new lines
are comments).

Oleg noticed that a perf-fd keeping a reference on the creating task
leads to a few funny side effects.
There's two different aspects to this:
- kernel based perf-events, these should not take out
a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's
event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible
to userspace.
- fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating
task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless)
but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed.
Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints.
Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the
owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.

Now that we have a new nmi_watchdog that is more generic and
sits on top of the perf subsystem, we really do not need the old
nmi_watchdog any more.
In addition, the old nmi_watchdog doesn't really work if you are
using the default clocksource, hpet. The old nmi_watchdog code
relied on local apic interrupts to determine if the cpu is still
alive. With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't
increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false
postives.
This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any
variables and functions calls. The stubs are the same ones used
by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.

If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.
But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.

Making /proc/kallsyms readable only for root by default makes it
slightly harder for attackers to write generic kernel exploits by
removing one source of knowledge where things are in the kernel.
This is the second submit, discussion happened on this on first submit
and mostly concerned that this is just one hole of the sieve ... but
one of the bigger ones.
Changing the permissions of at least System.map and vmlinux is also
required to fix the same set, but a packaging issue.
Target of this starter patch and follow ups is removing any kind of
kernel space address information leak from the kernel.
[ Side note: the default of root-only reading is the "safe" value, and
it's easy enough to then override at any time after boot. The /proc
filesystem allows root to change the permissions with a regular
chmod, so you can "revert" this at run-time by simply doing
chmod og+r /proc/kallsyms
as root if you really want regular users to see the kernel symbols.
It does help some tools like "perf" figure them out without any
setup, so it may well make sense in some situations. - Linus ]
