Masami Hiramatsu 1fd8df2c39 tracing/kprobes: Fix kprobe-tracer to support stack trace
Fix to support kernel stack trace correctly on kprobe-tracer.
Since the execution path of kprobe-based dynamic events is different
from other tracepoint-based events, normal ftrace_trace_stack() doesn't
work correctly. To fix that, this introduces ftrace_trace_stack_regs()
which traces stack via pt_regs instead of current stack register.

e.g.

 # echo p schedule+4 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
 # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace
 # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
 # head -n 20 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
            bash-2968  [000] 10297.050245: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca)
            bash-2968  [000] 10297.050247: <stack trace>

     kworker/0:1-2940  [000] 10297.050266: <stack trace>
 => worker_thread

            sshd-1132  [000] 10297.050365: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca)
            sshd-1132  [000] 10297.050365: <stack trace>
 => sysret_careful

Note: Even with this fix, the first entry will be skipped
if the probe is put on the function entry area before
the frame pointer is set up (usually, that is 4 bytes
 (push %bp; mov %sp %bp) on x86), because stack unwinder
depends on the frame pointer.

Vaibhav Nagarnaik d7ec4bfed6 ring-buffer: Set __GFP_NORETRY flag for ring buffer allocating process
The tracing ring buffer is allocated from kernel memory. While
allocating a large chunk of memory, OOM might happen which destabilizes
the system. Thus random processes might get killed during the
allocation.

This patch adds __GFP_NORETRY flag to the ring buffer allocation calls
to make it fail more gracefully if the system will not be able to
complete the allocation request.

Jiri Olsa ffeb80fc30 tracing, function_graph: Merge overhead and duration display functions
Functions print_graph_overhead() and print_graph_duration() displays
data for one field - DURATION.

I merged them into single function print_graph_duration(),
and added a way to display the empty parts of the field.

This way the print_graph_irq() function can use this column to display
the IRQ signs if needed and the DURATION field details stays inside
the print_graph_duration() function.

Jiri Olsa 321e68b095 tracing, function_graph: Remove dependency of abstime and duration fields on latency
The display of absolute time and duration fields is based on the
latency field. This was added during the irqsoff/wakeup tracers

It's causing confusion in what fields will be displayed for the

Vaibhav Nagarnaik 4f271a2a60 tracing: Add a proc file to stop tracing and free buffer
The proc file entry buffer_size_kb is used to set the size of tracing
buffer. The memory to expand the buffer size is kernel memory. Consider
a use case where tracing is handled by a user space utility, which acts
as a gate keeper for tracing requests. In an OOM condition, tracing is
considered a low priority task and if the utility gets killed the ring
buffer memory cannot be released back to the kernel.

This patch adds a proc file called "free_buffer" whose purpose is to
stop tracing and free up the ring buffer when it is closed.

The user space process can then set the desired size in buffer_size_kb
file and open the fd to the "free_buffer" file. Under OOM condition, if
the process gets killed, the kernel closes the file descriptor. The
release handler stops the tracing and releases the kernel memory
automatically.

Vaibhav Nagarnaik 7ea5906405 tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pages
The tracing ring buffer is a group of per-cpu ring buffers where
allocation and logging is done on a per-cpu basis. The events that are
generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer.
This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node
locality while accessing the ring buffer.

However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer
page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages
to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation
routine is running at the time.

This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation
routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the
logging CPU.

I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary
that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the
syscall to complete. The following command was used to test:
$ getuid_microbench 1000000

Compared the numbers found on kernel with and without this patch and
found that logging latency decreases by 30-50 ns/call.
tracing with non-NUMA allocation - 569 ns/call
tracing with NUMA allocation     - 512 ns/call

Vaibhav Nagarnaik e7e2ee89a9 tracing: Schedule a delayed work to call wakeup()
In using syscall tracing by concurrent processes, the wakeup() that is
called in the event commit function causes contention on the spin lock
of the waitqueue. I enabled sys_enter_getuid and sys_exit_getuid
tracepoints, and by running getuid_microbench from autotest in parallel
I found that the contention causes exponential latency increase in the
tracing path.

The autotest binary getuid_microbench calls getuid() in a tight loop for
the given number of iterations and measures the average time required to
complete a single invocation of syscall.

The patch schedules a delayed work after 2 ms once an event commit calls
to wake up the trace wait_queue. This removes the delay caused by
contention on spin lock in wakeup() and amortizes the wakeup() calls
scheduled over the 2 ms period.

In the following example, the script enables the sys_enter_getuid and
sys_exit_getuid tracepoints and runs the getuid_microbench in parallel
with the given number of processes. The output clearly shows the latency
increase caused by contentions.

Shaohua Li 09223371de rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.

The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread.  A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.

Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler.  Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling.  (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime.  And "the meantime" might well be forever.)

This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work.  RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case.  This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

Jesper Juhl 13863a66c9 genirq: Prevent potential NULL dereference in irq_set_irq_wake()
In kernel/irq/manage.c::irq_set_irq_wake() we call
irq_get_desc_buslock() which may return NULL, but the code
dereferences the result unconditionally.

irq_set_irq_wake() has lots of callers - I checked a few and I couldn't
find anything that guarantees that they won't call it with some input that
will cause irq_get_desc_buslock() to return NULL, so I think it's a good
thing to test and -EINVAL was the most sane error code in this situation
that I could think of.

Not all callers test the return value of irq_set_irq_wake(), but those
that do take != 0 to mean error as far as I can see, so they should be
fine. I guess those that don't test actually should, but that's a
different issue.

eparis@redhat 2ce9738bac cgroupfs: use init_cred when populating new cgroupfs mount
We recently found that in some configurations SELinux was blocking the ability
for cgroupfs to be mounted.  The reason for this is because cgroupfs creates
files and directories during the get_sb() call and also uses lookup_one_len()
during that same get_sb() call.  This is a problem since the security
subsystem cannot initialize the superblock and the inodes in that filesystem
until after the get_sb() call returns.  Thus we leave the inodes in
an unitialized state during get_sb().  For the vast majority of filesystems
this is not an issue, but since cgroupfs uses lookup_on_len() it does
search permission checks on the directories in the path it walks.  Since the
inode security state is not set up SELinux does these checks as if the inodes
were 'unlabeled.'

Many 'normal' userspace process do not have permission to interact with
unlabeled inodes.  The solution presented here is to do the permission checks
of path walk and inode creation as the kernel rather than as the task that
called mount.  Since the kernel has permission to read/write/create
unlabeled inodes the get_sb() call will complete successfully and the SELinux
code will be able to initialize the superblock and those inodes created during
the get_sb() call.

This appears to be the same solution used by other filesystems such as devtmpfs
to solve the same issue and should thus have no negative impact on other LSMs
which currently work.

The original comment was outdated and stated that the interrupts were

What the comment failed to mention was that interrupts needed to be
disabled to keep interrupts from preempting the modifying of the code

A lost Quilt refresh of 2c29ef0fef (perf: Simplify and fix

reported by Jiri Olsa.

When installing an event in a task context, there's a number of
issues:

 - there might not be an existing task context, in which case
   we should install the now current context;

 - there might already be a context, not the current one, in
   which case we should de-schedule the old and install the new;

these cases were dealt with in the lost refresh, however there is one
further case that was found in testing:

 - there might already be a context, the current one, in which
   case we should still de-schedule, and should take care
   to re-install it (note that task_ctx_sched_out() clears
   cpuctx->task_ctx).

Tejun Heo 62c124ff3b ptrace: use bit_waitqueue for TRAPPING instead of wait_chldexit
ptracer->signal->wait_chldexit was used to wait for TRAPPING; however,
->wait_chldexit was already complicated with waker-side filtering
without adding TRAPPING wait on top of it.  Also, it unnecessarily
made TRAPPING clearing depend on the current ptrace relationship - if
the ptracee is detached, wakeup is lost.

There is no reason to use signal->wait_chldexit here.  We're just
waiting for JOBCTL_TRAPPING bit to clear and given the relatively
infrequent use of ptrace, bit_waitqueue can serve it perfectly.

This patch makes JOBCTL_TRAPPING wait use bit_waitqueue instead of
signal->wait_chldexit.

pending bits too.  Setting pending conditions on a dying task may make

becomes too fragile.

This patch adds task_set_jobctl_pending() which should be used when
setting task->jobctl bits to schedule a stop or trap.  The function
performs the followings to ease setting pending bits.

* Sanity checks.

* If fatal signal is pending or PF_EXITING is set, no bit is set.

* STOP_SIGMASK is automatically cleared if new value is being set.

do_signal_stop() and ptrace_attach() are updated to use

Tejun Heo 6dfca32984 job control: make task_clear_jobctl_pending() clear TRAPPING automatically
JOBCTL_TRAPPING indicates that ptracer is waiting for tracee to
(re)transit into TRACED.  task_clear_jobctl_pending() must be called
when either tracee enters TRACED or the transition is cancelled for
some reason.  The former is achieved by explicitly calling
task_clear_jobctl_pending() in ptrace_stop() and the latter by calling
it at the end of do_signal_stop().

Calling task_clear_jobctl_trapping() at the end of do_signal_stop()
limits the scope TRAPPING can be used and is fragile in that seemingly
unrelated changes to tracee's control flow can lead to stuck TRAPPING.

We already have task_clear_jobctl_pending() calls on those cancelling
events to clear JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING.  Cancellations can be handled by
making those call sites use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead and updating
task_clear_jobctl_pending() such that task_clear_jobctl_trapping() is
called automatically if no stop/trap is pending.

This patch makes the above changes and removes the fallback
task_clear_jobctl_trapping() call from do_signal_stop().

task_clear_jobctl_pending() takes @mask which in subset of
JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and clears the relevant jobctl bits.  If
JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING is set, other STOP bits are cleared together.  All

Vince Weaver aa4a221875 perf: Comment /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid to be part of user ABI
Turns out that distro packages use this file as an indicator of
the perf event subsystem - this is easier to check for from scripts
than the existence of the system call.

This is easy enough to keep around for the kernel, so add a
comment to make sure it stays so.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 1c3cc11602 timers: Consider slack value in mod_timer()
There is an optimization which does not update the timer if the timer
was pending and the expiration time was unchanged.

Since commit 3bbb9ec9 ("timers: Introduce the concept of timer slack
for legacy timers") this optimization is no longer applied for timers
where the expiration time got extended due to the slack value. So we
need to check again after the expiration time might have been updated.

[ tglx: Made it a single check by applying slack first and sorting
  out the slack = 0 value (all timeouts < 256 jiffies) early ]

Mark Brown c5182b8867 genirq: Ensure we locate the passed IRQ in irq_alloc_descs()
When irq_alloc_descs() is called with no base IRQ specified then it will
search for a range of IRQs starting from a specified base address. In the
case where an IRQ is specified it still does this search in order to ensure
that none of the requested range is already allocated and it still uses the
from parameter to specify the base for the search. This means that in the
case where a base is specified but from is zero (which is reasonable as
any IRQ number is in the range specified by a zero from) the function will
get confused and try to allocate the first suitably sized block of free IRQs
it finds.

Instead use a specified IRQ as the base address for the search, and insist
that any from that is specified can support that IRQ.

Linus Walleij e7fbad300a genirq: Fix descriptor init on non-sparse IRQs
The genirq changes are initializing descriptors for sparse IRQs quite
differently from how non-sparse (stacked?) IRQs are initialized, with
the effect that on my platform all IRQs are default-disabled on sparse
IRQs and default-enabled if non-sparse IRQs are used, crashing some
GPIO driver.

Fix this by refactoring the non-sparse IRQs to use the same descriptor

This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards

For UP it's stupid to request an initialized cpumask for the clock
event devices. Though we need the mask set even on UP to avoid a
horrible ifdeffery especially in the broadcast code.

For SMP we can at least try to survive with a warning and set the
cpumask of the cpu we're running on. That gives a decent chance to
bring the machine up and retrieve the debug info.

Markus reported that commit 317f394160 ("sched: Move the second half
of ttwu() to the remote cpu") caused some accounting funnies on his AMD
Phenom II X4, such as weird 'top' results.

It turns out that this is due to non-synced TSC and the queued remote
wakeups stopped coupeling the two relevant cpu clocks, which leads to
wakeups seeing time jumps, which in turn lead to skewed runtime stats.

Add an explicit call to sched_clock_cpu() to couple the per-cpu clocks
to restore the normal flow of time.

Peter Zijlstra d72bce0e67 rcu: Cure load woes
Commit cc3ce5176d (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing
a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation.

The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could
stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung
task detector due to on-demand wake-ups.

Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one
wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of
the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE
wait state.

[ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as
  INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ]

doing some more radical surgery to clean it all up.

Tim Chen 333c5ae994 idle governor: Avoid lock acquisition to read pm_qos before entering idle
Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi.
Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some
update to my previous patch comments.

I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will
look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos
requests received.  This look up currently needs the acquisition of a
lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,
slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple
cpus to access this list.  The contention is severe when there are a lot
of cpus waking and going into idle.  For example, for a simple workload
that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where
64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with
37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:

-     37.82%          swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]          [k]
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
   - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
      - 95.65% pm_qos_request
           menu_select
           cpuidle_idle_call
         - cpu_idle
              99.98% start_secondary

A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so
reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.
With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a
2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.

event irrespective of our event scheduling rules, that is, we try to
schedule CPU-pinned, TASK-pinned, CPU-flexible, TASK-flexible, but
when creating a new event we simply try and schedule it on top of
whatever is already on the PMU, this can lead to errors for pinned
events.

Therefore, simplify things and simply schedule everything out, add the
event to the corresponding context and schedule everything back in.

This also nicely handles the case where with
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI can come right in the middle
of schedule, before we managed to call perf_event_task_sched_in().

Peter Zijlstra 08bca60a69 rcu: Remove waitqueue usage for cpu, node, and boost kthreads
It is not necessary to use waitqueues for the RCU kthreads because
we always know exactly which thread is to be awakened.  In addition,
wake_up() only issues an actual wakeup when there is a thread waiting on
the queue, which was why there was an extra explicit wake_up_process()
to get the RCU kthreads started.

Eliminating the waitqueues (and wake_up()) in favor of wake_up_process()
eliminates the need for the initial wake_up_process() and also shrinks
the data structure size a bit.  The wakeup logic is placed in a new
rcu_wait() macro.

to atomic operations, which allows rcu_cpu_kthread_timer() to avoid
acquiring the rcu_node lock.  This should avoid the following lockdep
splat reported by Valdis Kletnieks:

tsk->cpus_allowed. Otherwise RT scheduler may confuse.

Dima Zavin <dima@android.com> reported:

"After pulling the thread off the run-queue during a cgroup change,
the cfs_rq.min_vruntime gets recalculated. The dequeued thread's vruntime
then gets normalized to this new value. This can then lead to the thread
getting an unfair boost in the new group if the vruntime of the next
task in the old run-queue was way further ahead."

Peter Zijlstra d6aa8f85f1 sched: Fix ttwu() for __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW
Marc reported that e4a52bcb9 (sched: Remove rq->lock from the first
half of ttwu()) broke his ARM-SMP machine. Now ARM is one of the few
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW users, so that exception in the ttwu()
code was suspect.

Yong found that the interrupt could hit after context_switch() changes
current but before it clears p->on_cpu, if that interrupt were to
attempt a wake-up of p we would indeed find ourselves spinning in IRQ
context.

Fix this by reverting to the old behaviour for this situation and
perform a full remote wake-up.

Jiri Slaby 3864601387 mm: extract exe_file handling from procfs
Setup and cleanup of mm_struct->exe_file is currently done in fs/proc/.
This was because exe_file was needed only for /proc/<pid>/exe.  Since we
will need the exe_file functionality also for core dumps (so core name can
contain full binary path), built this functionality always into the
kernel.

To achieve that move that out of proc FS to the kernel/ where in fact it
should belong.  By doing that we can make dup_mm_exe_file static.  Also we
can drop linux/proc_fs.h inclusion in fs/exec.c and kernel/fork.c.

Daniel Lezcano a77aea9201 cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
  The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
  the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b4 ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.  Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

The cgroup_attach_proc implementation requires a pre-allocated array to

Using flex_array provides the same functionality with less risk of

Ben Blum f780bdb7c1 cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts

Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface.  Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.

Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this.  All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.

This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

Paul E. McKenney 23b5c8fa01 rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof
(Note: this was reverted, and is now being re-applied in pieces, with
this being the fifth and final piece.  See below for the reason that
it is now felt to be safe to re-apply this.)

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.

This was reverted do to hangs found during testing by Yinghai Lu and
Ingo Molnar.  Frederic Weisbecker supplied Yinghai with tracing that
located the underlying problem, and Frederic also provided the fix.

The underlying problem was that the HARDIRQ_ENTER() macro from
lib/locking-selftest.c invoked irq_enter(), which in turn invokes
rcu_irq_enter(), but HARDIRQ_EXIT() invoked __irq_exit(), which
does not invoke rcu_irq_exit().  This situation resulted in calls
to rcu_irq_enter() that were not balanced by the required calls to
rcu_irq_exit().  Therefore, after these locking selftests completed,
RCU's dyntick-idle nesting count was a large number (for example,
72), which caused RCU to to conclude that the affected CPU was not in
dyntick-idle mode when in fact it was.

RCU would therefore incorrectly wait for this dyntick-idle CPU, resulting
in hangs.

In contrast, with Frederic's patch, which replaces the irq_enter()
in HARDIRQ_ENTER() with an __irq_enter(), these tests don't ever call
either rcu_irq_enter() or rcu_irq_exit(), which works because the CPU
running the test is already marked as not being in dyntick-idle mode.
This means that the rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() calls and RCU
then has no problem working out which CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode and
which are not.

The reason that the imbalance was not noticed before the barrier patch
was applied is that the old implementation of rcu_enter_nohz() ignored
the nesting depth.  This could still result in delays, but much shorter
ones.  Whenever there was a delay, RCU would IPI the CPU with the
unbalanced nesting level, which would eventually result in rcu_enter_nohz()
being called, which in turn would force RCU to see that the CPU was in
dyntick-idle mode.

The reason that very few people noticed the problem is that the mismatched
irq_enter() vs. __irq_exit() occured only when the kernel was built with
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKING_API_SELFTESTS.

Steven Rostedt b1cff0ad10 ftrace: Add internal recursive checks
Witold reported a reboot caused by the selftests of the dynamic function
tracer. He sent me a config and I used ktest to do a config_bisect on it
(as my config did not cause the crash). It pointed out that the problem
config was CONFIG_PROVE_RCU.

What happened was that if multiple callbacks are attached to the
function tracer, we iterate a list of callbacks. Because the list is
managed by synchronize_sched() and preempt_disable, the access to the
pointers uses rcu_dereference_raw().

When PROVE_RCU is enabled, the rcu_dereference_raw() calls some
debugging functions, which happen to be traced. The tracing of the debug
function would then call rcu_dereference_raw() which would then call the
debug function and then... well you get the idea.

I first wrote two different patches to solve this bug.

1) add a __rcu_dereference_raw() that would not do any checks.
2) add notrace to the offending debug functions.

Both of these patches worked.

Talking with Paul McKenney on IRC, he suggested to add recursion
detection instead. This seemed to be a better solution, so I decided to
implement it. As the task_struct already has a trace_recursion to detect
recursion in the ring buffer, and that has a very small number it
allows, I decided to use that same variable to add flags that can detect
the recursion inside the infrastructure of the function tracer.

I plan to change it so that the task struct bit can be checked in
mcount, but as that requires changes to all archs, I will hold that off
to the next merge window.

When iterating the jump_label entries array (core or modules),
the __jump_label_update function peeks over the last entry.

The reason is that the end of the for loop depends on the key

limit.

Thomas Gleixner 90ff1f30c0 hrtimers: Fix typo causing erratic timers
commit 9ec2690758 ("timerfd: Manage cancelable timers in timerfd")
introduced a CONFIG_HIGHRES_TIMERS (should be CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS)
typo, which caused applications depending on CLOCK_REALTIME timers to
become sluggy due to the fact that the time base of the realtime
timers was not updated when the wall clock time was set.

This causes anything from 100% CPU use for some applications to odd
delays and hickups.

Oleg Nesterov d92fcf0552 signal: sys_pause() should check signal_pending()

Oleg Nesterov 0666fb51b1 ptrace: ptrace_resume() shouldn't wake up !TASK_TRACED thread
It is not clear why ptrace_resume() does wake_up_process(). Unless the
caller is PTRACE_KILL the tracee should be TASK_TRACED so we can use
wake_up_state(__TASK_TRACED). If sys_ptrace() races with SIGKILL we do
not need the extra and potentionally spurious wakeup.

If the caller is PTRACE_KILL, wake_up_process() is even more wrong.
The tracee can sleep in any state in any place, and if we have a buggy
code which doesn't handle a spurious wakeup correctly PTRACE_KILL can
be used to exploit it. For example:

	int main(void)
	{
		int child, status;

		child = fork();
		if (!child) {
			int ret;

			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);

			ret = pause();
			printf("pause: %d %m\n", ret);

			return 0x23;
		}

		sleep(1);
		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_KILL, child, 0,0) == 0);

		assert(child == wait(&status));
		printf("wait: %x\n", status);

		return 0;
	}

prints "pause: -1 Unknown error 514", -ERESTARTNOHAND leaks to the
userland. In this case sys_pause() is buggy as well and should be
fixed.

I do not know what was the original rationality behind PTRACE_KILL.
The man page is simply wrong and afaics it was always wrong. Imho
it should be deprecated, or may be it should do send_sig(SIGKILL)
as Denys suggests, but in any case I do not think that the current
behaviour was intentional.

Note: there is another problem, ptrace_resume() changes ->exit_code
and this can race with SIGKILL too. Eventually we should change ptrace
to not use ->exit_code.

Mike Travis 162a7e7500 printk: allocate kernel log buffer earlier
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.

Mike Travis 4b060420a5 bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq
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.

KOSAKI Motohiro de03c72cfc mm: convert mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t
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.

Peter Zijlstra 97a894136f mm: Remove i_mmap_lock lockbreak
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.

Peter Zijlstra e4c70a6629 lockdep, mutex: provide mutex_lock_nest_lock
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.

Eric Dumazet 8af088710d posix-timers: RCU conversion
Ben Nagy reported a scalability problem with KVM/QEMU that hit very hard
a single spinlock (idr_lock) in posix-timers code, on its 48 core
machine.

Even on a 16 cpu machine (2x4x2), a single test can show 98% of cpu time
used in ticket_spin_lock, from lock_timer

Ref: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg51526.html

Switching to RCU is quite easy, IDR being already RCU ready. idr_lock
should be locked only for an insert/delete, not a lookup.

Benchmark on a 2x4x2 machine, 16 processes calling timer_gettime().

Before :

real    1m18.669s
user    0m1.346s
sys     1m17.180s

After :

Thomas Gleixner 68fa61c026 hrtimers: Reorder clock bases
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.

Thomas Gleixner 9ec2690758 timerfd: Manage cancelable timers in timerfd
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.

Mandeep Singh Baines 4eec42f392 watchdog: Change the default timeout and configure nmi watchdog period based on watchdog_thresh
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.

This restores the previous behavior of softlock_thresh.

Currently, setting watchdog_thresh to zero causes the watchdog

In addition, the logic of proc_dowatchdog_thresh and

Linus Torvalds 268bb0ce3e sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage
Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   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.

Nikhil Rao c8b281161d sched: Increase SCHED_LOAD_SCALE resolution
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):

        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.

Nikhil Rao 1399fa7807 sched: Introduce SCHED_POWER_SCALE to scale cpu_power calculations
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.

Tejun Heo 9c5a2ba702 workqueue: separate out drain_workqueue() from destroy_workqueue()
There are users which want to drain workqueues without destroying it.
Separate out drain functionality from destroy_workqueue() into
drain_workqueue() and make it accessible to workqueue users.

To guarantee forward-progress, only chain queueing is allowed while
drain is in progress.  If a new work item which isn't chained from the
running or pending work items is queued while draining is in progress,
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered.

Steven Rostedt a2d063ac21 extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdata
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.

Chris Metcalf 571d76acda arch/tile: support signal "exception-trace" hook
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.

Some architectures such as Alpha do not define _sdata but _data:

  kernel/built-in.o: In function `core_kernel_data':
  kernel/extable.c:77: undefined reference to `_sdata'

So expand the scope of the data range to the text addresses too,
this might be more correct anyway because this way we can
cover readonly variables as well.

Alessio Igor Bogani 9d63487f86 module: Use binary search in lookup_symbol()
The function is_exported() with its helper function lookup_symbol() are used to
verify if a provided symbol is effectively exported by the kernel or by the
modules. Now that both have their symbols sorted we can replace a linear search
with a binary search which provide a considerably speed-up.

Jan Glauber 448694a1d5 module: undo module RONX protection correctly.
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.

Dmitry Torokhov b4bc842802 module: deal with alignment issues in built-in module versions
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.

Steven Rostedt cdbe61bfe7 ftrace: Allow dynamically allocated 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.

Steven Rostedt ed926f9b35 ftrace: Use counters to enable functions to trace
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.

A read only empty_hash is created to be the minimum size that any ftrace_ops

When a new hash is created, it has the following steps:

o Allocate a default hash.

o Allocate a new hash with the appropriate size buckets

Rafael J. Wysocki 91e7c75ba9 PM: Allow drivers to allocate memory from .prepare() callbacks safely
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.

Rafael J. Wysocki ddeb648708 PM / Hibernate: Add sysfs knob to control size of memory for drivers
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).

Thomas Gleixner 07f4beb0b5 tick: Clear broadcast active bit when switching to oneshot
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.

Cheng Xu ec514c487c sched: Fix rt_rq runtime leakage bug
This patch is to fix the real-time scheduler bug reported at:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/26/13

That is, when running multiple real-time threads on every logical CPUs
and then turning off one CPU, the kernel will bug at function
__disable_runtime().

Function __disable_runtime() bugs and reports leakage of rt_rq runtime.
The root cause is __disable_runtime() assumes it iterates through all
the existing rt_rq's while walking rq->leaf_rt_rq_list, which actually
contains only runnable rt_rq's. This problem also applies to
__enable_runtime() and print_rt_stats().

The patch is based on above analysis, appears to fix the problem, but is
only lightly tested.

Tejun Heo 19e274630c job control: reorganize wait_task_stopped()
wait_task_stopped() tested task_stopped_code() without acquiring
siglock and, if stop condition existed, called wait_task_stopped() and
directly returned the result.  This patch moves the initial
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.

* Scheduled ptrace updates require changes to the initial test which
  would fit better inside wait_task_stopped().

Chris Metcalf be84cb4383 compat: fixes to allow working with tile arch
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
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_xxx ifdefs.

The SNAPSHOT_S2RAM ioctl used for implementing the feature allowing

broken, because it doesn't clear the "ready" flag in the struct

returned and the user space hibernate task cannot thaw the other
processes as appropriate.  Make SNAPSHOT_S2RAM clear data->ready

Eric W. Biederman 0663c6f8fa ns: Introduce the setns syscall
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.

v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: Cleaned up the system call arguments
    - Changed the order.

Tejun Heo 40ae717d1e ptrace: fix signal->wait_chldexit usage in task_clear_group_stop_trapping()
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING waiting mechanism piggybacks on
signal->wait_chldexit which is primarily used to implement waiting for
wait(2) and friends.  When do_wait() waits on signal->wait_chldexit,
it uses a custom wake up callback, child_wait_callback(), which
expects the child task which is waking up the parent to be passed in
as @key to filter out spurious wakeups.

task_clear_group_stop_trapping() used __wake_up_sync() which uses NULL
@key causing the following oops if the parent was doing do_wait().

Fix it by using __wake_up_sync_key() and passing in the child as @key.

I still think it's a mistake to piggyback on wait_chldexit for this.
Given the relative low frequency of ptrace use, we would be much
better off leaving already complex wait_chldexit alone and using bit
waitqueue.

I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and
PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a

Hillf Danton 7142d17e8f sched: Shorten the construction of the span cpu mask of sched domain
For a given node, when constructing the cpumask for its
sched_domain to span, if there is no best node available after
searching, further efforts could be saved, based on small change
in the return value of find_next_best_node().

Rakib Mullick 4934a4d3d3 sched: Wrap the 'cfs_rq->nr_spread_over' field with CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG
cfs_rq->nr_spread_over is only used when CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG is set.
So wrap it with CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.

Eric Dumazet b554d7de8d rcu: optimize rcutiny
rcu_sched_qs() currently calls local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() up
to three times.

Remove irq masking from rcu_qsctr_help() / invoke_rcu_kthread()
and do it once in rcu_sched_qs() / rcu_bh_qs()

This generates smaller code as well.

Fix an outdated comment for rcu_qsctr_help()
Move invoke_rcu_kthread() definition before its use.

Paul E. McKenney 2655d57ef3 rcu: prevent call_rcu() from diving into rcu core if irqs disabled
This commit marks a first step towards making call_rcu() have
real-time behavior.  If irqs are disabled, don't dive into the
RCU core.  Later on, this new early exit will wake up the
per-CPU kthread, which first must be modified to handle the
cases involving callback storms.

Paul E. McKenney baa1ae0c9f rcu: further lower priority in rcu_yield()
Although rcu_yield() dropped from real-time to normal priority, there
is always the possibility that the competing tasks have been niced.
So nice to 19 in rcu_yield() to help ensure that other tasks have a
better chance of running.
