Konstantin Khlebnikov 2dd8ad81e3 mm: use mm->exe_file instead of first VM_EXECUTABLE vma->vm_file
Some security modules and oprofile still uses VM_EXECUTABLE for retrieving
a task's executable file.  After this patch they will use mm->exe_file
directly.  mm->exe_file is protected with mm->mmap_sem, so locking stays
the same.

Srivatsa S. Bhat 075663d198 CPU hotplug, debug: detect imbalance between get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus()
The synchronization between CPU hotplug readers and writers is achieved
by means of refcounting, safeguarded by the cpu_hotplug.lock.

get_online_cpus() increments the refcount, whereas put_online_cpus()
decrements it.  If we ever hit an imbalance between the two, we end up
compromising the guarantees of the hotplug synchronization i.e, for
example, an extra call to put_online_cpus() can end up allowing a
hotplug reader to execute concurrently with a hotplug writer.

So, add a WARN_ON() in put_online_cpus() to detect such cases where the
refcount can go negative, and also attempt to fix it up, so that we can
continue to run.

Paul E. McKenney a4fbe35a12 rcu: Grace-period initialization excludes only RCU notifier

>                                       mutex_lock(&cpu_hotplug.lock);

It would of course be good to eliminate grace-period delays from
CPU-hotplug notifiers, but that is a separate issue.  Deadlock is
not an appropriate diagnostic for excessive CPU-hotplug latency.

Fortunately, grace-period initialization does not actually need to
exclude all of the CPU-hotplug operation, but rather only RCU's own
CPU_UP_PREPARE and CPU_DEAD CPU-hotplug notifiers.  This commit therefore
introduces a new per-rcu_state onoff_mutex that provides the required
concurrency control in place of the get_online_cpus() that was previously
in rcu_gp_init().

__reserve_region_with_split() could result in a stack overflow in the case
that the recursive calls are too deep.  Convert the recursive calls to an
iterative loop to avoid the problem.

Tested on a machine containing 135 regions.  The kernel no longer panicked
with stack overflow.

Also tested with code arbitrarily adding regions with no conflict,
embedding two consecutive conflicts and embedding two non-consecutive
conflicts.

hongfeng 6c0c0d4d10 poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff()
orderly_poweroff is trying to poweroff platform in two steps:

step 1: Call user space application to poweroff
step 2: If user space poweroff fail, then do a force power off if force param
        is set.

The bug here is, step 1 is always successful with param UMH_NO_WAIT, which obey
the design goal of orderly_poweroff.

We have two choices here:
UMH_WAIT_EXEC which means wait for the exec, but not the process;
UMH_WAIT_PROC which means wait for the process to complete.
we need to trade off the two choices:

If using UMH_WAIT_EXEC, there is potential issue comments by Serge E.
Hallyn: The exec will have started, but may for whatever (very unlikely)
reason fail.

If using UMH_WAIT_PROC, there is potential issue comments by Eric W.
Biederman: If the caller is not running in a kernel thread then we can
easily get into a case where the user space caller will block waiting for
us when we are waiting for the user space caller.

Thanks for their excellent ideas, based on the above discussion, we
finally choose UMH_WAIT_EXEC, which is much more safe, if the user
application really fails, we just complain the application itself, it
seems a better choice here.

Shawn Guo f96972f2dc kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()
As kernel_power_off() calls disable_nonboot_cpus(), we may also want to
have kernel_restart() call disable_nonboot_cpus().  Doing so can help
machines that require boot cpu be the last alive cpu during reboot to
survive with kernel restart.

This fixes one reboot issue seen on imx6q (Cortex-A9 Quad).  The machine
requires that the restart routine be run on the primary cpu rather than
secondary ones.  Otherwise, the secondary core running the restart
routine will fail to come to online after reboot.

As a result, the build_overlap_sched_groups() will initialize a NULL

Frederic Weisbecker 2b17c545a4 nohz: Fix one jiffy count too far in idle cputime
When we stop the tick in idle, we save the current jiffies value
in ts->idle_jiffies. This snapshot is substracted from the later
value of jiffies when the tick is restarted and the resulting
delta is accounted as idle cputime. This is how we handle the
idle cputime accounting without the tick.

But sometimes we need to schedule the next tick to some time in
the future instead of completely stopping it. In this case, a
tick may happen before we restart the periodic behaviour and
from that tick we account one jiffy to idle cputime as usual but
we also increment the ts->idle_jiffies snapshot by one so that
when we compute the delta to account, we substract the one jiffy
we just accounted.

To prepare for stopping the tick outside idle, we introduced a
check that prevents from fixing up that ts->idle_jiffies if we
are not running the idle task. But we use idle_cpu() for that
and this is a problem if we run the tick while another CPU
remotely enqueues a ttwu to our runqueue:

CPU 0:                            CPU 1:

tick_sched_timer() {              ttwu_queue_remote()
       if (idle_cpu(CPU 0))
           ts->idle_jiffies++;
}

Here, idle_cpu() notes that &rq->wake_list is not empty and
hence won't consider the CPU as idle. As a result,
ts->idle_jiffies won't be incremented. But this is wrong because
we actually account the current jiffy to idle cputime. And that
jiffy won't get substracted from the nohz time delta. So in the
end, this jiffy is accounted twice.

Fix this by changing idle_cpu(smp_processor_id()) with
is_idle_task(current). This way the jiffy is substracted
correctly even if a ttwu operation is enqueued on the CPU.

Linus Torvalds aab174f0df Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs update from Al Viro:

 - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
   that is moved to fs/file.c

   (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c.  As it is,
   we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
   file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
   are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
   struct file we used to have way back).

   A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
   disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
   doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore.  A bunch of
   relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
   leak.

 - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
   there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).

 - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
   that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
   switch of fdinfo to seq_file.

 - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
   take that commit than mess with conflicts.  The rest is a separate
   pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.

 - a few misc patches all over the place.  Not all for this cycle,
   there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."

Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
/proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket)

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
  support.  This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
  enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
  namespace.  Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
  filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
  nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.

  The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
  subsystems and filesystems as reasonable.  Leaving the make_kuid and
  from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
  come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
  Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
  namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.

  The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
  union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
  Those places were converted into explicit unions.  I made certain to
  handle those places with simple trivial patches.

  Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
  quota by projid.  I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
  Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
  for most of the code size growth in my git tree.

  Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
  "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
  root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
  non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.

  While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
  I made a few other cleanups.  I capitalized on the fact we process
  netlink messages in the context of the message sender.  I removed
  usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.

  Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
  problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
  linux-next.

  After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
  win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

Pull cgroup hierarchy update from Tejun Heo:
 "Currently, different cgroup subsystems handle nested cgroups
  completely differently.  There's no consistency among subsystems and
  the behaviors often are outright broken.

  People at least seem to agree that the broken hierarhcy behaviors need
  to be weeded out if any progress is gonna be made on this front and
  that the fallouts from deprecating the broken behaviors should be
  acceptable especially given that the current behaviors don't make much
  sense when nested.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Linus Torvalds 3498d13b80 TTY merge for 3.7-rc1
As we skipped the merge window for 3.6-rc1 for the tty tree, everything
 is now settled down and working properly, so we are ready for 3.7-rc1.
 Here's the patchset, it's big, but the large changes are removing a
 firmware file and adding a staging tty driver (it depended on the tty
 core changes, so it's going through this tree instead of the staging
 tree.)
 
 All of these patches have been in the linux-next tree for a while.

Linus Torvalds 7e92daaefa Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
  over 30 contributors.  Most of the activity was on the tooling side.

  Higher level changes:

   - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool

   - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.

   - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
     Irina Tirdea

   - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
     users.  It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
     well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
     entry.

     The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
     ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
     ftrace nop.  With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
     through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
     solution.

   - Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.

   - Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt

   - Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
     of needless calls to libtraceevent.

   - Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa

   - UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim

   - Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
     Feng Tang

   - Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
     Feng Tang.

  Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:

   - Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
     tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
     like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
     Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.

   - Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
     to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
     make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
     readily caught.

   - Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
     next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
     files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
     from Eric Sandeen.

   - Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
     a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
     'report', from Feng Tang.

   - Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.

   - Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.

   - Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
     'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.

   - Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa

   - Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can
     unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines,
     from David Ahern

   - Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK
     browser, From Namhyung Kim

   - Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter.

   - Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep,
     fix from Jiri Olsa.

   - .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it
     works in C++, from Steven Rostedt

   - Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf
     exit routine can take place, from David Ahern

   - Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern.

   - {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose

   - perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim

   - Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments,
     from Maciek Borzecki

   - Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa

   - Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the
     problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes
     successfully.

   - Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David
     Ahern

   - Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung
     Kim

   - Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set
     already, fix from Namhyung Kim

   - Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter.

   - Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa

   - Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility,
     from Namhyung Kim

   - Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd
     line, from Robert Richter

   - Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben
     Hutchings

   - Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern

   - Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter

   - Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt

   - perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang.

   - Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker

   - Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based
     unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an
     .opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that
     handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody
     Schafer.

   - Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert
     Richter

   - Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel
     early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e.  calling pevent_find_event
     repeatedly when processing tracepoint events.

     [ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and
        make clear what is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so
        far parsing the common and per event fields.  ]

   - Don't stop the build if the audit libraries are not installed, fix
     from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus
     Trippelsdorf.

   - Improve warning message when libunwind devel packages not present,
     from Jiri Olsa"

Masami Hiramatsu d55cb6cf14 ftrace: Allow stealing pages from pipe buffer
Use generic steal operation on pipe buffer to allow stealing
ring buffer's read page from pipe buffer.

Note that this could reduce the performance of splice on the
splice_write side operation without affinity setting.
Since the ring buffer's read pages are allocated on the
tracing-node, but the splice user does not always execute
splice write side operation on the same node. In this case,
the page will be accessed from the another node.
Thus, it is strongly recommended to assign the splicing
thread to corresponding node.

Rusty Russell 9bb9c3be56 module: wait when loading a module which is currently initializing.
The original module-init-tools module loader used a fnctl lock on the
.ko file to avoid attempts to simultaneously load a module.
Unfortunately, you can't get an exclusive fcntl lock on a read-only
fd, making this not work for read-only mounted filesystems.
module-init-tools has a hacky sleep-and-loop for this now.

It's not that hard to wait in the kernel, and only return -EEXIST once
the first module has finished loading (or continue loading the module
if the first one failed to initialize for some reason).  It's also
consistent with what we do for dependent modules which are still loading.

Rusty Russell 6f13909f4f module: fix symbol waiting when module fails before init
We use resolve_symbol_wait(), which blocks if the module containing
the symbol is still loading.  However:

1) The module_wq we use is only woken after calling the modules' init
   function, but there are other failure paths after the module is
   placed in the linked list where we need to do the same thing.

2) wake_up() only wakes one waiter, and our waitqueue is shared by all
   modules, so we need to wake them all.

3) wake_up_all() doesn't imply a memory barrier: I feel happier calling
   it after we've grabbed and dropped the module_mutex, not just after
   the state assignment.

Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.

To this end, I've defined three new config bools:

 (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC

     Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
     mod_arch_specific struct.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA

     Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL

     Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.

With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.

Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

Frederic Weisbecker 20ab65e33f rcu: Exit RCU extended QS on user preemption
When exceptions or irq are about to resume userspace, if
the task needs to be rescheduled, the arch low level code
calls schedule() directly.

If we call it, it is because we have the TIF_RESCHED flag:

- It can be set after random local calls to set_need_resched()
(RCU, drm, ...)

- A wake up happened and the CPU needs preemption. This can
  happen in several ways:

    * Remotely: the remote waking CPU has set TIF_RESCHED and send the
      wakee an IPI to schedule the new task.
    * Remotely enqueued: the remote waking CPU sends an IPI to the target
      and the wake up is made by the target.
    * Locally: waking CPU == wakee CPU and the wakeup is done locally.
      set_need_resched() is called without IPI.

In the case of local and remotely enqueued wake ups, the tick can
be restarted when we enqueue the new task and RCU can exit the
extended quiescent state at the same time. Then by the time we reach
irq exit path and we call schedule, we are not in RCU user mode.

But if we call schedule() only because something called set_need_resched(),
RCU may still be in user mode when we reach schedule.

Also if a wake up is done remotely, the CPU might see the TIF_RESCHED
flag and call schedule while the IPI has not yet happen to restart the
tick and exit RCU user mode.

We need to manually protect against these corner cases.

Create a new API schedule_user() that calls schedule() inside
rcu_user_exit()-rcu_user_enter() in order to protect it. Archs
will need to rely on it now to implement user preemption safely.

Frederic Weisbecker 90a340ed53 rcu: Exit RCU extended QS on kernel preemption after irq/exception
When an exception or an irq exits, and we are going to resume into
interrupted kernel code, the low level architecture code calls
preempt_schedule_irq() if there is a need to reschedule.

If the interrupt/exception occured between a call to rcu_user_enter()
(from syscall exit, exception exit, do_notify_resume exit, ...) and
a real resume to userspace (iret,...), preempt_schedule_irq() can be
called whereas RCU thinks we are in userspace. But preempt_schedule_irq()
is going to run kernel code and may be some RCU read side critical
section. We must exit the userspace extended quiescent state before
we call it.

To solve this, just call rcu_user_exit() in the beginning of
preempt_schedule_irq().

The current implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ tries reasonably hard to rid
the current CPU of RCU callbacks.  This is appropriate when the CPU is
entering idle, where it doesn't have much useful to do anyway, but is most
definitely not what you want when transitioning to user-mode execution.
This commit therefore detects the adaptive-tick case, and refrains from
burning CPU time getting rid of RCU callbacks in that case.

Frederic Weisbecker 19dd1591fc rcu: New rcu_user_enter_after_irq() and rcu_user_exit_after_irq() APIs
In some cases, it is necessary to enter or exit userspace-RCU-idle mode
from an interrupt handler, for example, if some other CPU sends this
CPU a resched IPI.  In this case, the current CPU would enter the IPI
handler in userspace-RCU-idle mode, but would need to exit the IPI handler
after having exited that mode.

To allow this to work, this commit adds two new APIs to TREE_RCU:

- rcu_user_enter_after_irq(). This must be called from an interrupt between
rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit().  After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(),
the irq handler will return into an RCU extended quiescent state.
In theory, this interrupt is never a nested interrupt, but in practice
it might interrupt softirq, which looks to RCU like a nested interrupt.

- rcu_user_exit_after_irq(). This must be called from a non-nesting
interrupt, interrupting an RCU extended quiescent state, also
between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls
rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return in an RCU non-quiescent
state.

[ Combined with "Allow calls to rcu_exit_user_irq from nesting irqs." ]

Frederic Weisbecker adf5091e6c rcu: New rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit() APIs
RCU currently insists that only idle tasks can enter RCU idle mode, which
prohibits an adaptive tickless kernel (AKA nohz cpusets), which in turn
would mean that usermode execution would always take scheduling-clock
interrupts, even when there is only one task runnable on the CPU in
question.

This commit therefore adds rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit(), which
allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode.  These are quite similar
to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), respectively, except that they
omit the idle-task checks.

[ Updated to use "user" flag rather than separate check functions. ]

Eric Dumazet 5640f76858 net: use a per task frag allocator
We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg()
operations.

This page is used to build fragments for skbs.

Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into
single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent)

But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly
idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page

Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need
about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit
page allocator more than wanted.

This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages,
if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure.

(up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86)

This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device,
but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are
mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck
mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled.

Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments,
but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a
fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536

Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

This patch splits trace event initialization in two stages:
 * ftrace enable
 * sysfs event entry creation

This allows to capture trace events from an earlier point
by using 'trace_event' kernel parameter and is important
to trace boot-up allocations.

Note that, in order to enable events at core_initcall,
it's necessary to move init_ftrace_syscalls() from
core_initcall to early_initcall.

John Stultz b3c869d35b jiffies: Remove compile time assumptions about CLOCK_TICK_RATE
CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
a tick will be at a given HZ.

This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.

This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.

Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
are different possible hardware timers that have different
tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.

For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
who's granularity error is negligable.

Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
everywhere to handle these edge cases.

This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
dynamically at boot.

This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.

NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
	register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)

John Stultz dae373be9f alarmtimer: Use hrtimer per-alarm instead of per-base
Arve Hjønnevåg reported numerous crashes from the
"BUG_ON(timer->state != HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK)" check
in __run_hrtimer after it called alarmtimer_fired.

It ends up the alarmtimer code was not properly handling
possible failures of hrtimer_try_to_cancel, and because
these faulres occur when the underlying base hrtimer is
being run, this limits the ability to properly handle
modifications to any alarmtimers on that base.

Because much of the logic duplicates the hrtimer logic,
it seems that we might as well have a per-alarmtimer
hrtimer, and avoid the extra complextity of trying to
multiplex many alarmtimers off of one hrtimer.

Thus this patch moves the hrtimer to the alarm structure
and simplifies the management logic.

If suspend is rejected due to an imminent alarm, hold a wakeup source

If setting the alarm incurs an -ETIME for an alarm set in the past,
or any other problem setting the alarm, abort suspend and hold a

other hopefully transient conditions preventing the alarm clear up.

Peter Zijlstra 5d18023294 sched: Fix load avg vs cpu-hotplug
Rabik and Paul reported two different issues related to the same few
lines of code.

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

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

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

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

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

miscounting noted by Rakib. ]

Li Zhong 22a767269a rcu: Move TINY_RCU quiescent state out of extended quiescent state
TINY_RCU's rcu_idle_enter_common() invokes rcu_sched_qs() in order
to inform the RCU core of the quiescent state implied by idle entry.
Of course, idle is also an extended quiescent state, so that the call
to rcu_sched_qs() speeds up RCU's invoking of any callbacks that might
be queued.  This speed-up is important when entering into dyntick-idle
mode -- if there are no further scheduling-clock interrupts, the callbacks
might never be invoked, which could result in a system hang.

However, processing callbacks does event tracing, which in turn
implies RCU read-side critical sections, which are illegal in extended
quiescent states.  This patch therefore moves the call to rcu_sched_qs()
so that it precedes the point at which we inform lockdep that RCU has
entered an extended quiescent state.

Paul E. McKenney 803b0ebae9 time: RCU permitted to stop idle entry via softirq
The can_stop_idle_tick() function complains if a softirq vector is
raised too late in the idle-entry process, presumably in order to
prevent dangling softirq invocations from being delayed across the
full idle period, which might be indefinitely long -- and if softirq
was asserted any later than the call to this function, such a delay
might well happen.

However, RCU needs to be able to use softirq to stop idle entry in
order to be able to drain RCU callbacks from the current CPU, which in
turn enables faster entry into dyntick-idle mode, which in turn reduces
power consumption.  Because RCU takes this action at a well-defined
point in the idle-entry path, it is safe for RCU to take this approach.

This commit therefore silences the error message that is sometimes
produced when the going-idle CPU suddenly finds that it has an RCU_SOFTIRQ
to process.  The error message will continue to be issued for other
softirq vectors.

Paul E. McKenney a82dcc7602 rcu: Make offline-CPU checking allow for indefinite delays
The rcu_implicit_offline_qs() function implicitly assumed that execution
would progress predictably when interrupts are disabled, which is of course
not guaranteed when running on a hypervisor.  Furthermore, this function
is short, and is called from one place only in a short function.

This commit therefore ensures that the timing is checked before
checking the condition, which guarantees correct behavior even given
indefinite delays.  It also inlines rcu_implicit_offline_qs() into
rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs().

Paul E. McKenney 5cc900cf55 rcu: Improve boost selection when moving tasks to root rcu_node
The rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() moves all tasks queued on a given leaf
rcu_node structure to the root rcu_node, which is done when the last CPU
corresponding the the leaf rcu_node structure goes offline.  Now that
RCU-preempt's synchronize_rcu_expedited() implementation blocks CPU-hotplug
operations during the initialization of each rcu_node structure's
->boost_tasks pointer, rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() can do a better job
of setting the root rcu_node's ->boost_tasks pointer.

The key point is that rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() runs as part of the
CPU-hotplug process, so that a concurrent synchronize_rcu_expedited()
is guaranteed to either have not started on the one hand (in which case
there is no boosting on behalf of the expedited grace period) or to be
completely initialized on the other (in which case, in the absence of
other priority boosting, all ->boost_tasks pointers will be initialized).
Therefore, if rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() finds that the ->boost_tasks
pointer is equal to the ->exp_tasks pointer, it can be sure that it is
correctly placed.

In the case where there was boosting ongoing at the time that the
synchronize_rcu_expedited() function started, different nodes might start
boosting the tasks blocking the expedited grace period at different times.
In this mixed case, the root node will either be boosting tasks for
the expedited grace period already, or it will start as soon as it gets
done boosting for the normal grace period -- but in this latter case,
the root node's tasks needed to be boosted in any case.

This commit therefore adds a check of the ->boost_tasks pointer against
the ->exp_tasks pointer to the list that prevents updating ->boost_tasks.

Paul E. McKenney b4270ee356 rcu: Permit RCU_NONIDLE() to be used from interrupt context
There is a need to use RCU from interrupt context, but either before
rcu_irq_enter() is called or after rcu_irq_exit() is called.  If the
interrupt occurs from idle, then lockdep-RCU will complain about such
uses, as they appear to be illegal uses of RCU from the idle loop.
In other environments, RCU_NONIDLE() could be used to properly protect
the use of RCU, but RCU_NONIDLE() currently cannot be invoked except
from process context.

This commit therefore modifies RCU_NONIDLE() to permit its use more
globally.

Paul E. McKenney 1e3fd2b38c rcu: Properly initialize ->boost_tasks on CPU offline
When rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() clears tasks from a leaf rcu_node
structure, it does not NULL out the structure's ->boost_tasks field.
This commit therefore fixes this issue.

Paul E. McKenney 818615c4cd rcu: Pull TINY_RCU dyntick-idle tracing into non-idle region
Because TINY_RCU's idle detection keys directly off of the nesting
level, rather than from a separate variable as in TREE_RCU, the
TINY_RCU dyntick-idle tracing on transition to idle must happen
before the change to the nesting level.  This commit therefore makes
this change by passing the desired new value (rather than the old value)
of the nesting level in to rcu_idle_enter_common().

Paul E. McKenney e3ebfb96f3 rcu: Add PROVE_RCU_DELAY to provoke difficult races
There have been some recent bugs that were triggered only when
preemptible RCU's __rcu_read_unlock() was preempted just after setting
->rcu_read_lock_nesting to INT_MIN, which is a low-probability event.
Therefore, reproducing those bugs (to say nothing of gaining confidence
in alleged fixes) was quite difficult.  This commit therefore creates
a new debug-only RCU kernel config option that forces a short delay
in __rcu_read_unlock() to increase the probability of those sorts of
bugs occurring.
