... aka "Al had badly fscked up when writing that thing and nobody
noticed until Eric had fixed leaks that used to mask the breakage".
The function essentially creates a copy of old array sans one element
and replaces the references to elements of original (they are on cyclic
lists) with those to corresponding elements of new one. After that the
old one is fair game for freeing.
First of all, there's a dumb braino: when we get to list_replace_init we
use indices for wrong arrays - position in new one with the old array
and vice versa.
Another bug is more subtle - termination condition is wrong if the
element to be excluded happens to be the last one. We shouldn't go
until we fill the new array, we should go until we'd finished the old
one. Otherwise the element we are trying to kill will remain on the
cyclic lists...
That crap used to be masked by several leaks, so it was not quite
trivial to hit. Eric had fixed some of those leaks a while ago and the
shit had hit the fan...

Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues.
Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list. This buys
nothing but slows down do_wait().
With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders).
The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over
sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it
changes ->group_leader.
Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD
tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and
ptrace_do_wait()).
This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(),
but this is fixable and minor.
Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they
should be fixed in any case.

The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.
But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

In practice, it is harmless to voluntarily sleep in a
rcu_read_lock() section if we are running under preempt rcu, but
it is illegal if we build a kernel running non-preemptable rcu.
Currently, might_sleep() doesn't notice sleepable operations
under rcu_read_lock() sections if we are running under
preemptable rcu because preempt_count() is left untouched after
rcu_read_lock() in this case. But we want developers who test
their changes under such config to notice the "sleeping while
atomic" issues.
So we add rcu_read_lock_nesting to prempt_count() in
might_sleep() checks.

In order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we
need to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites.
The simple approach is to substract cfs_rq->min_vruntime from
se->vruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq->min_vruntime on
enqueue.
However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since
we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative
position.
To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks,
we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and
activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the
min_vruntime invariance to that state.
The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to
maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue,
but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right
before we activate it again.
This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call
this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into
->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and
would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a
fudge.
This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork()
leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state.
This covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and
ensures it sees a relative vruntime.

In order to clean up the set_task_cpu() rq dependencies we need
to ensure it is never called on blocked tasks because such usage
does not pair with consistent rq->lock usage.
This puts the migration burden on ttwu().
Furthermore we need to close a race against changing
->cpus_allowed, since select_task_rq() runs with only preemption
disabled.
For sched_fork() this is safe because the child isn't in the
tasklist yet, for wakeup we fix this by synchronizing
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() against TASK_WAKING, which leaves
sched_exec to be a problem
This also closes a hole in (6ad4c1888 sched: Fix balance vs
hotplug race) where ->select_task_rq() doesn't validate the
result against the sched_domain/root_domain.

In order to allow for per-task-per-cpu counters, useful for
scalability when profiling task hierarchies, we allow installing
events with event->cpu != -1 in task contexts.
__perf_event_sched_in() already skips events where ->cpu
mis-matches the current cpu, fix up __perf_install_in_context()
and __perf_event_enable() to also respect this filter.
This does lead to vary hard to interpret enabled/running times

Change send_signal() to use si_fromuser(). From now SEND_SIG_NOINFO
triggers the "from_ancestor_ns" check.
This fixes reparent_thread()->group_send_sig_info(pdeath_signal)
behaviour, before this patch send_signal() does not detect the
cross-namespace case when the child of the dying parent belongs to the
sub-namespace.
This patch can affect the behaviour of send_sig(), kill_pgrp() and
kill_pid() when the caller sends the signal to the sub-namespace with
"priv == 0" but surprisingly all callers seem to use them correctly,
including disassociate_ctty(on_exit).

No changes in compiled code. The patch adds the new helper, si_fromuser()
and changes check_kill_permission() to use this helper.
The real effect of this patch is that from now we "officially" consider
SEND_SIG_NOINFO signal as "from user-space" signals. This is already true
if we look at the code which uses SEND_SIG_NOINFO, except __send_signal()
has another opinion - see the next patch.
The naming of these special SEND_SIG_XXX siginfo's is really bad
imho. From __send_signal()'s pov they mean
SEND_SIG_NOINFO from user
SEND_SIG_PRIV from kernel
SEND_SIG_FORCED no info

If the tracee calls fork() after PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, the forked child
starts with TIF_SINGLESTEP/X86_EFLAGS_TF bits copied from ptraced parent.
This is not right, especially when the new child is not auto-attaced: in
this case it is killed by SIGTRAP.
Change copy_process() to call user_disable_single_step(). Tested on x86.

In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance
bottleneck. One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing
calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one.
Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,
- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.
- uncharge is done by
- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...
- one by one via vmscan/paging.
It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability
at unmap/truncation.
This patch is a for coalescing uncharge. For avoiding scattering memcg's
structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge
information to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use
of caller's context information. We do batched uncharge (deleyed
uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when
uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c).
The degree of coalescing depends on callers
- at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size
- at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE
(memory itself will be freed in this degree.)
Then, we'll not coalescing too much.
On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by
running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running
a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults
in 60secs.
[without memcg config]
40156968 page-faults # 0.085 M/sec ( +- 0.046% )
27.67 cache-miss/faults
[root cgroup]
36659599 page-faults # 0.077 M/sec ( +- 0.247% )
31.58 miss/faults
[in a child cgroup]
18444157 page-faults # 0.039 M/sec ( +- 0.133% )
69.96 miss/faults
[child with this patch]
27133719 page-faults # 0.057 M/sec ( +- 0.155% )
47.16 miss/faults
We can see some amounts of improvement.
(root cgroup doesn't affected by this patch)
Another patch for "charge" will follow this and above will be improved more.

The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to
redirect the kernel messages to a specific console.
However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console
after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic
message on the current console.
This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect
variable by a function to be able to use it in code where
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c).
This patch:
Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a
function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where
messages are printed.
Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c)
to the new interface.
The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of
the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the
allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page
count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute
"nr_hugepages_mempolicy". The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows:
* For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer
is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use
node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the
behavior before this patch.
* For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation,
a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced.
"local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the
task adjusting nr_hugepages.
* For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask
will be used.
* Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node
mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes
behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask
with no "fallback".
See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information
about the implications of this patch.
Examples:
Starting with:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0
Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent
hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]:
sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32
yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8
Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch,
but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the
same as nr_hugepages.
Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a.
'--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified
and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on
individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the
condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to
node 2 using:
numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40
This yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8
The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the
specified mempolicy.
Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages
from specified nodes:
numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32
yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8
The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning
that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is
greater than the total count of possible CPUs.
Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu
number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus(). This
test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the
cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated.
This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against
nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to
ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset()
subsequently.

Relax stable-sched-clock architectures to not save/disable/restore
hardirqs in cpu_clock().
The background is that I was trying to resolve a sparc64 perf
issue when I discovered this problem.
On sparc64 I implement pseudo NMIs by simply running the kernel
at IRQ level 14 when local_irq_disable() is called, this allows
performance counter events to still come in at IRQ level 15.
This doesn't work if any code in an NMI handler does
local_irq_save() or local_irq_disable() since the "disable" will
kick us back to cpu IRQ level 14 thus letting NMIs back in and
we recurse.
The only path which that does that in the perf event IRQ
handling path is the code supporting frequency based events. It
uses cpu_clock().
cpu_clock() simply invokes sched_clock() with IRQs disabled.
And that's a fundamental bug all on it's own, particularly for
the HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK case. NMIs can thus get into the
sched_clock() code interrupting the local IRQ disable code
sections of it.
Furthermore, for the not-HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK case, the IRQ
disabling done by cpu_clock() is just pure overhead and
completely unnecessary.
So the core problem is that sched_clock() is not NMI safe, but
we are invoking it from NMI contexts in the perf events code
(via cpu_clock()).
A less important issue is the overhead of IRQ disabling when it
isn't necessary in cpu_clock().
CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK architectures are not
affected by this patch.

The irqsoff and friends tracers help in finding causes of latency in the
kernel. The also work with the function tracer to show what was happening
when interrupts or preemption are disabled. But the function tracer has
a bit of an overhead and can cause exagerated readings.
Currently, when tracing with /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled = 0, where the
function tracer is disabled, the information that is provided can end up
being useless. For example, a 2 and a half millisecond latency only showed:
# tracer: preemptirqsoff

hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue
The above lets us know that hackbench with pid 2463 grabbed a spin lock
somewhere and enabled preemption at remove_wait_queue. This helps a little
but where this actually happened is not informative.
This patch adds the stack dump to the end of the irqsoff tracer. This provides
the following output:
hackbenc-4242 2d.... 0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave
hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue

I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling
some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing
and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is
calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling
that function and entering a specific if conditional.
I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for
this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized
that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk().
Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it
writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations.
For example:
@@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible:
if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) {
if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev)))

This patch fixes 2 edge cases in using kgdb in conjunction with gdb.
1) kgdb_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
breakpoints. The failure to do so results in breakpoints that you
cannot remove, because a break point can only be removed if its
state flag is set to BP_SET.
The easy way to duplicate this problem is to plant a break point in
a kernel module and then unload the kernel module.
2) kgdb_activate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
breakpoints. The failure to do so results in missed breakpoints
when a breakpoint cannot be activated.

On some architectures for the segv trap, gdb wants to pass the signal
back on continue. For kgdb this is not the default behavior, because
it can cause the kernel to crash if you arbitrarily pass back a
exception outside of kgdb.
Instead of causing instability, pass a message back to gdb about the
supported kgdb signal passing and execute a standard kgdb continue
operation.
Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
The kgdb core should not assume that a single step operation of a
kernel thread will complete on the same CPU. The single step flag is
set at the "thread" level and it is possible in a multi cpu system
that a kernel thread can get scheduled on another cpu the next time it
is run.
As a further safety net in case a slave cpu is hung, the debug master
cpu will try 100 times before giving up and assuming control of the
slave cpus is no longer possible. It is more useful to be able to get
some information out of kgdb instead of spinning forever.

Xiaotian Feng triggered a list corruption in the clock events list on
CPU hotplug and debugged the root cause.
If a CPU registers more than one per cpu clock event device, then only
the active clock event device is removed on CPU_DEAD. The unused
devices are kept in the clock events device list.
On CPU up the clock event devices are registered again, which means
that we list_add an already enqueued list_head. That results in list
corruption.
Resolve this by removing all devices which are associated to the dead
CPU on CPU_DEAD.

While using an application that does splice on the ftrace ring
buffer at start up, I triggered an integrity check failure.
Looking into this, I discovered that resizing the buffer performs
an integrity check after the buffer is resized. This check unfortunately
is preformed after it releases the reader lock. If a reader is
reading the buffer it may cause the integrity check to trigger a
false failure.
This patch simply moves the integrity checker under the protection
of the ring buffer reader lock.

There was a comment in the ring buffer code that says the calling
layers should prevent tracing or reading of the ring buffer while
resizing. I have discovered that the tracers do not honor this
arrangement.

a higher layer during resizing. This guarantees that no writes
are occurring while the resize takes place.

commit c69e8d9 (CRED: Use RCU to access another task's creds and to
release a task's own creds) added non rcu_read_lock() protected access
to task creds of the target task in set_prio_one().
The comment above the function says:
* - the caller must hold the RCU read lock
The calling code in sys_setpriority does read_lock(&tasklist_lock) but
not rcu_read_lock(). This works only when CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=n.
With CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y the rcu_callbacks can run in the tick
interrupt when they see no read side critical section.
There is another instance of __task_cred() in sys_setpriority() itself
which is equally unprotected.
Wrap the whole code section into a rcu read side critical section to
fix this quick and dirty.
Will be revisited in course of the read_lock(&tasklist_lock) -> rcu
crusade.
Oleg noted further:
This also fixes another bug here. find_task_by_vpid() is not safe
without rcu_read_lock(). I do not mean it is not safe to use the
result, just find_pid_ns() by itself is not safe.
Usually tasklist gives enough protection, but if copy_process() fails
it calls free_pid() lockless and does call_rcu(delayed_put_pid().
This means, without rcu lock find_pid_ns() can't scan the hash table
safely.

pointless (and a misnomer) - remove it.

There is no reason to make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info and
friends visible to the rest of the kernel. So move all of them to
hrtimer.c. Also make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info a static
inline function so it gets inlined and we avoid another function call.

The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the
execution time of the hrtimer callbacks.
This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be
scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks
themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in
the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the
system unusable.
Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the
interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that
fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the
next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things
which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms.
The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler
are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list
Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

ia64 found this the hard way (because we currently have a stub
for save_stack_trace() that does nothing). But it would be a
good idea to be cautious in case a real save_stack_trace()
bailed out with an error before it set trace->nr_entries.

Olof Johansson stated the following:
Comparing a va_list with NULL is bogus. It's supposed to be treated like
an opaque type and only be manipulated with va_* accessors.
Olof noticed that this code broke the ARM builds:
kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'trace_array_vprintk':
kernel/trace/trace.c:1364: error: invalid operands to binary == (have 'va_list' and 'void *')
kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'tracing_mark_write':
kernel/trace/trace.c:3349: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'trace_vprintk'
This patch partly reverts c13d2f7c32 and
re-installs the original mark_printk() mechanism.

There is a case where the graph tracer might get confused and omits
displaying of a single record. This applies mostly with the trace_pipe
since it is unlikely that the trace_seq buffer will overflow with the
trace file.
As the function_graph tracer goes through the trace entries keeping a
pointer to the current record:
current -> func1 ENTRY
func2 ENTRY
func2 RETURN
func1 RETURN
When an function ENTRY is encountered, it moves the pointer to the
next entry to check if the function is a nested or leaf function.
func1 ENTRY
current -> func2 ENTRY
func2 RETURN
func1 RETURN
If the rest of the writing of the function fills the trace_seq buffer,
then the trace_pipe read will ignore this entry. The next read will
Now start at the current location, but the first entry (func1) will
be discarded.
This patch keeps a copy of the current entry in the iterator private
storage and will keep track of when the trace_seq buffer fills. When
the trace_seq buffer fills, it will reuse the copy of the entry in the
next iteration.

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

The trace_seq buffer might fill up, and right now one needs to check the
return value of each printf into the buffer to check for that.
Instead, have the buffer keep track of whether it is full or not, and
reject more input if it is full or would have overflowed with an input
that wasn't added.

If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next
itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the
function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to
determine leaf functions.
What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function
graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return
of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the
function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer
iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start
entry).
The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the
seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry.
The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start
which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry).
But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph
plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf.
To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the
seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer
fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset
the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover
flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not
call into the plugin print functions.

When we define the common event fields in kprobe, we invert the error
handling and return immediately in case of success. Then we omit
to define specific kprobes fields (ip and nargs), and specific
kretprobes fields (func, ret_ip, nargs). And we only define them
when we fail to create common fields.
The most visible consequence is that we can't create filter for
k(ret)probes specific fields.
This patch re-invert the success/error handling to fix it.

The normalized values are also recalculated in case the scaling factor
changes.
This patch updates the internally used scheduler tuning values that are
normalized to one cpu in case a user sets new values via sysfs.
Together with patch 2 of this series this allows to let user configured
values scale (or not) to cpu add/remove events taking place later.

As scaling now takes place on all kind of cpu add/remove events a user
that configures values via proc should be able to configure if his set
values are still rescaled or kept whatever happens.
As the comments state that log2 was just a second guess that worked the
interface is not just designed for on/off, but to choose a scaling type.
Currently this allows none, log and linear, but more important it allwos
us to keep the interface even if someone has an even better idea how to
scale the values.

83f9ac removed a call to effective_prio() in wake_up_new_task(), which
leads to tasks running at MAX_PRIO.
This is caused by the idle thread being set to MAX_PRIO before forking
off init. O(1) used that to make sure idle was always preempted, CFS
uses check_preempt_curr_idle() for that so we can savely remove this bit
of legacy code.

When setting the weight for a per-cpu task-group, we have to put in a
phantom weight when there is no work on that cpu, otherwise we'll not
service that cpu when new work gets placed there until we again update
the per-cpu weights.
We used to add these phantom weights to the total, so that the idle
per-cpu shares don't get inflated, this however causes the non-idle
parts to get deflated, causing unexpected weight distibutions.
Reverse this, so that the non-idle shares are correct but the idle
shares are inflated.
