ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the
right operation, for example:
# echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
_spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock:traceon:count=10
_spin_trylock:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock:traceon:count=10
We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains
with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful.
This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that
matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned
by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes
virtually written.
Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case.
If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written
by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with
a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned.
So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.
The fix also applies on 2.6.30

The timer migration expiry check should prevent the migration of a
timer to another CPU when the timer expires before the next event is
scheduled on the other CPU. Migrating the timer might delay it because
we can not reprogram the clock event device on the other CPU. But the
code implementing that check has two flaws:
- for !HIGHRES the check compares the expiry value with the clock
events device expiry value which is wrong for CLOCK_REALTIME based
timers.
- the check is racy. It holds the hrtimer base lock of the target CPU,
but the clock event device expiry value can be modified
nevertheless, e.g. by an timer interrupt firing.
The !HIGHRES case is easy to fix as we can enqueue the timer on the
cpu which was selected by the load balancer. It runs the idle
balancing code once per jiffy anyway. So the maximum delay for the
timer is the same as when we keep the tick on the current cpu going.
In the HIGHRES case we can get the next expiry value from the hrtimer
cpu_base of the target CPU and serialize the update with the cpu_base
lock. This moves the lock section in hrtimer_interrupt() so we can set
next_event to KTIME_MAX while we are handling the expired timers and
set it to the next expiry value after we handled the timers under the
base lock. While the expired timers are processed timer migration is
blocked because the expiry time of the timer is always <= KTIME_MAX.
Also remove the now useless clockevents_get_next_event() function.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
The timer migration code needs to check whether the expiry time of the
timer is before the programmed clock event expiry time when the timer
is enqueued on another CPU because we can not reprogram the timer
device on the other CPU. The current logic checks the expiry time even
if we enqueue on the current CPU when nohz_get_load_balancer() returns
current CPU. This might lead to an endless loop in the expiry check
code when the expiry time of the timer is before the current
programmed next event.
Check whether nohz_get_load_balancer() returns current CPU and skip
the expiry check if this is the case.

This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless
buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since
we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that
must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs).
The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the
tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu
buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head
page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer.
That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags.
The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest
significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives
us play to put in flags to their pointers.
bit 0: set when the page is a head page
bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode)
cmpxchg is used to update the pointer.
When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head,
in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward.
It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2.
Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the
page from the buffer.
The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with
disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too).
After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to
manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the
comments of the code.
Changes in version 2:
- Let reader reset entries value of header page.
- Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test.
- Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update
- Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop
- add mask in rb_is_reader_page

This patch changes the ring buffer data pages from using a link list
head pointer, to making each buffer page point to another buffer page
and never back to a "head".
This makes the handling of the ring buffer less complex, since the
traversing of the ring buffer pages no longer needs to account for the
head pointer.
This change also is needed to make the ring buffer lockless.

cpu_buffer->pages = pages.next;
list_del(&pages);
If there are equivalent, I think the second one
are simpler. It may be not a really necessarily cleanup.

This patch introduces a new sysctl:
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
which defaults to 0 (off).
When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.
The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.
This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.

The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.
Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.
This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit

With the introduction of PERF_EVENT_READ we have the
possibility to provide accurate counter values for
individual tasks in a task hierarchy.
However, due to the lazy context switching used for similar
counter contexts our current per task counts are way off.
In order to maintain some of the lazy switch benefits we
don't disable it out-right, but simply iterate the active
counters and flip the values between the contexts.
This only reads the counters but does not need to reprogram
the full PMU.

commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which
modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write
access faults.
The patch was made on two wrong assumptions:
1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access.
On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check.
2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us.
That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call
mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that
call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the
actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again.
The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write
access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to
fault it in with verification of write access.
There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault
the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will
fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF
overhead.
If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it
anymore and need to bail out to user space.
Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
__timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.
So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
when timer stats are disabled.
In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
consumption by 1 - 1.5%.

audit_update_watch() runs all of the rules for a given watch and duplicates
them, attaches a new watch to them, and then when it finishes that process
and has called free on all of the old rules (ok maybe still inside the rcu
grace period) it proceeds to use the last element from list_for_each_entry_safe()
as if it were a krule rather than being the audit_watch which was anchoring
the list to output a message about audit rules changing.
This patch unfies the audit message from two different places into a helper
function and calls it from the correct location in audit_update_rules(). We
will now get an audit message about the config changing for each rule (with
each rules filterkey) rather than the previous garbage.

Prevent from further ftrace_start_up inbalances so that we avoid
future nop patching omissions with dynamic ftrace.

Perfcounter reports the following stats for a wide system
profiling:
#
# (2364 samples)
#
# Overhead Symbol
# ........ ......
#
15.40% [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
8.29% [k] read_hpet
5.75% [k] ftrace_caller
3.60% [k] ftrace_call
[...]
This snapshot has been taken while neither the function tracer nor
the function graph tracer was running.
With dynamic ftrace, such results show a wrong ftrace behaviour
because all calls to ftrace_caller or ftrace_graph_caller (the patched
calls to mcount) are supposed to be patched into nop if none of those
tracers are running.
The problem occurs after the first run of the function tracer. Once we
launch it a second time, the callsites will never be nopped back,
unless you set custom filters.
For example it happens during the self tests at boot time.
The function tracer selftest runs, and then the dynamic tracing is
tested too. After that, the callsites are left un-nopped.
This is because the reset callback of the function tracer tries to
unregister two ftrace callbacks in once: the common function tracer
and the function tracer with stack backtrace, regardless of which
one is currently in use.
It then creates an unbalance on ftrace_start_up value which is expected
to be zero when the last ftrace callback is unregistered. When it
reaches zero, the FTRACE_DISABLE_CALLS is set on the next ftrace
command, triggering the patching into nop. But since it becomes
unbalanced, ie becomes lower than zero, if the kernel functions
are patched again (as in every further function tracer runs), they
won't ever be nopped back.
Note that ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_call are still patched back
to ftrace_stub in the off case, but not the callers of ftrace_call
and ftrace_graph_caller. It means that the tracing is well deactivated
but we waste a useless call into every kernel function.
This patch just unregisters the right ftrace_ops for the function
tracer on its reset callback and ignores the other one which is
not registered, fixing the unbalance. The problem also happens
is .30

The bug is ancient.
If we trace the sub-thread of our natural child and this sub-thread exits,
we update parent->signal->cxxx fields. But we should not do this until
the whole thread-group exits, otherwise we account this thread (and all
other live threads) twice.
Add the task_detached() check. No need to check thread_group_empty(),
wait_consider_task()->delay_group_leader() already did this.

perf_lock_task_context() is buggy because it can return a dead
context.
the RCU read lock in perf_lock_task_context() only guarantees
the memory won't get freed, it doesn't guarantee the object is
valid (in our case refcount > 0).
Therefore we can return a locked object that can get freed the
moment we release the rcu read lock.
perf_pin_task_context() then increases the refcount and does an
unlock on freed memory.
That increased refcount will cause a double free, in case it
started out with 0.
Ammend this by including the get_ctx() functionality in
perf_lock_task_context() (all users already did this later
anyway), and return a NULL context when the found one is
already dead.

The task migrations counter was causing rare and hard to decypher
memory corruptions under load. After a day of debugging and bisection
we found that the problem was introduced with:
3f731ca: perf_counter: Fix cpu migration counter
Turning them off fixes the crashes. Incidentally, the whole
perf_counter_task_migration() logic can be done simpler as well,
by injecting a proper sw-counter event.
This cleanup also fixed the crashes. The precise failure mode is
not completely clear yet, but we are clearly not unhappy about
having a fix ;-)

In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
from function code, we would like to detect that.
An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
this purpose.
This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.
There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.
This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.
This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
the new prototype.
Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

On x86_32, when optimize for size is set, gcc may align the frame pointer
and make a copy of the the return address inside the stack frame.
The return address that is located in the stack frame may not be
the one used to return to the calling function. This will break the
function graph tracer.
The function graph tracer replaces the return address with a jump to a hook
function that can trace the exit of the function. If it only replaces
a copy, then the hook will not be called when the function returns.
Worse yet, when the parent function returns, the function graph tracer
will return back to the location of the child function which will
easily crash the kernel with weird results.
To see the problem, when i386 is compiled with -Os we get:
c106be03: 57 push %edi
c106be04: 8d 7c 24 08 lea 0x8(%esp),%edi
c106be08: 83 e4 e0 and $0xffffffe0,%esp
c106be0b: ff 77 fc pushl 0xfffffffc(%edi)
c106be0e: 55 push %ebp
c106be0f: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
c106be11: 57 push %edi
c106be12: 56 push %esi
c106be13: 53 push %ebx
c106be14: 81 ec 8c 00 00 00 sub $0x8c,%esp
c106be1a: e8 f5 57 fb ff call c1021614 <mcount>
When it is compiled with -O2 instead we get:
c10896f0: 55 push %ebp
c10896f1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
c10896f3: 83 ec 28 sub $0x28,%esp
c10896f6: 89 5d f4 mov %ebx,0xfffffff4(%ebp)
c10896f9: 89 75 f8 mov %esi,0xfffffff8(%ebp)
c10896fc: 89 7d fc mov %edi,0xfffffffc(%ebp)
c10896ff: e8 d0 08 fa ff call c1029fd4 <mcount>
The compile with -Os will align the stack pointer then set up the
frame pointer (%ebp), and it copies the return address back into
the stack frame. The change to the return address in mcount is done
to the copy and not the real place holder of the return address.
Then compile with -O2 sets up the frame pointer first, this makes
the change to the return address by mcount affect where the function
will jump on exit.

Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel. gcov may be useful for:
* debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
* test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
* minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
associated code is never run?)
The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:
* change kbuild to include profiling flags
* provide functions needed by profiling code
* present profiling data as files in debugfs
Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.
For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

find_task_by_pid_type_ns is only used to implement find_task_by_vpid and

So just fold find_task_by_pid_type_ns into find_task_by_pid_ns and use
find_task_by_pid_ns to implement find_task_by_vpid.
While we're at it also remove the exports for find_task_by_pid_ns and
find_task_by_vpid - we don't have any modular callers left as the only
modular caller of he old pre pid namespace find_task_by_pid (gfs2) was
switched to pid_task which operates on a struct pid pointer instead of a
pid_t. Given the confusion about pid_t values vs namespace that's
generally the better option anyway and I think we're better of restricting
modules to do it that way.

Based on Eric's patch which in turn was based on my patch.
kthread_stop() has the nasty problems:
- it runs unpredictably long with the global semaphore held.
- it deadlocks if kthread itself does kthread_stop() before it obeys
the kthread_should_stop() request.
- it is not useable if kthread exits on its own, see for example the
ugly "wait_to_die:" hack in migration_thread()
- it is not possible to just tell kthread it should stop, we must always
wait for its exit.
With this patch kthread() allocates all neccesary data (struct kthread) on
its own stack, globals kthread_stop_xxx are deleted. ->vfork_done is used
as a pointer into "struct kthread", this means kthread_stop() can easily
wait for kthread's exit.

We use two completions two create the kernel thread, this is a bit ugly.
kthread() wakes up create_kthread() via ->started, then create_kthread()
wakes up the caller kthread_create() via ->done. But kthread() does not
need to wait for kthread(), it can just return. Instead kthread() itself
can wake up the caller of kthread_create().
Kill kthread_create_info->started, ->done is enough. This improves the
scalability a bit and sijmplifies the code.
The only problem if kernel_thread() fails, in that case create_kthread()

Remove the "Nasty, nasty" lock dance in ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme() -
from now task_lock() has nothing to do with ptrace at all.
With the recent changes nobody uses task_lock() to serialize with ptrace,
but in fact it was never needed and it was never used consistently.
However ptrace_attach() calls __ptrace_may_access() and needs task_lock()
to pin task->mm for get_dumpable(). But we can call __ptrace_may_access()
before we take tasklist_lock, ->cred_exec_mutex protects us against
do_execve() path which can change creds and MMF_DUMP* flags.
(ugly, but we can't use ptrace_may_access() because it hides the error
code, so we have to take task_lock() and use __ptrace_may_access()).
NOTE: this change assumes that LSM hooks, security_ptrace_may_access() and
security_ptrace_traceme(), can be called without task_lock() held.

The 'noprefix' option was introduced for backwards-compatibility of

This results in possibility of name collision, and now the collision can
really happen, because we have 'stat' file in both memory and cpuacct
subsystem:
# mount -t cgroup -o noprefix,memory,cpuacct xxx /mnt
Cgroup will happily mount the 2 subsystems, but only 'stat' file of memory
subsys can be seen.
We don't want users to use nopreifx, and also want to avoid name
collision, so we change to allow noprefix only if mounting just the cpuset
subsystem.

The rates of increase in an idle mode is the following.

Unlike the previous method, that didn't have any user->kernel
feedback and relied on userspace keeping up, this method relies on
userspace writing its last read position into the control page.
It will ensure new output doesn't overwrite not-yet read events,
new events for which there is no space left are lost and the
overflow counter is incremented, providing exact event loss

The ring buffer must have at least two pages allocated for the
reader page swap to work.

The original version of the ring buffer had a hack to map the
page struct that held the pages of the buffer to also be the structure
that the ring buffer would keep the pages in a link list.
This overlap of the page struct was very dangerous and that hack was
removed a while ago.
But there was a check to make sure the buffer_page never became bigger
than the page struct, and would fail the compile if it did. The
check was only meaningful when we had the hack. Now that we have separate
allocated descriptors for the buffer pages, we can remove this check.

Round the slow work queue's cull and OOM timeouts to whole second boundary

This patch also extracts the mod_timer() logic for the cull timer into a

Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory:
* Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend.
* Free pages are almost exhausted.
* Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate
some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or
equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
* __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the
OOM killer.
* The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so
it doesn't die immediately.
* __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries
to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer.
* No progress can be made.
Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory
shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically
possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been
removed from that code path. Moreover, since memory allocations are
going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even
more likely to happen during hibernation.
To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch
that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in
which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set
this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory
spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is
changed.
In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of
memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's
context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly
manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the
task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task.
But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a
lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the
task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some
non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes,
then clear newly disallowed ones.
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to
apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind()
with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local
allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty
node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy().
Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new().
Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL
'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new().
Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for
'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to
verify this assumption.]
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive
enough to differentiate it from mpol_new().
This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes
to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag
is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on
'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions
that we need to call this function to "set nodes".
Some additional minor line length, whitespace and typo cleanup.]

The index of the event is found by masking PAGE_MASK to it and
subtracting the header size. Currently the header size is calculate
by PAGE_SIZE - BUF_PAGE_SIZE, when we already have a macro
BUF_PAGE_HDR_SIZE to define it.
If we want to change BUF_PAGE_SIZE to something less than filling
the rest of the page (this is done for debugging), then we break
the algorithm to find the index.

Module unload is protected by event_mutex, while setting filter is
protected by filter_mutex. This leads to the race:
echo 'bar == 0 || bar == 10' \ |
> sample/filter |
| insmod sample.ko
add_pred("bar == 0") |
-> n_preds == 1 |
add_pred("bar == 100") |
-> n_preds == 2 |
| rmmod sample.ko
| insmod sample.ko
add_pred("&&") |
-> n_preds == 1 (should be 3) |
Now event->filter->preds is corrupted. An then when filter_match_preds()
is called, the WARN_ON() in it will be triggered.
To avoid the race, we remove filter_mutex, and replace it with event_mutex.

The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers.
The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to
get.
The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index
of the last committed write respectively.
The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index
of the last reserved data respectively (non committed).
The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer.
If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward.
The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most
writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where
the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested
writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and
even the commit forward.
The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the
accounting will break.
This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers
to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start
of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter
is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for
races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer
commit should move the pointers anyway.
The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update
is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less
racey than the commit updates.
This change not only solves the mentioned race, but also makes the
code simpler.

Several WARN_ON() messages omit the '\n' at the end of the string, which
is a simple (and understandable) error. The next line printed after
that warning line is usually the current module list, and that printk
does not have a log-level marker - resulting in one long mixed-up line.
Adding this loglevel marker will now avoid this unreadable mess.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide
which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk
with the default loglevel.
The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level
marker at all is two-fold:
- having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the
previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot,
but perhaps because it expected a continuation)
- having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a
message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken
for a log-level.
Signed-of-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
It used to be that we would only look at the log-level in a printk()
after explicit newlines, which can cause annoying problems when the
previous printk() did not end with a '\n'. In that case, the log-level
marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be
seen as just noise rather than change the logging level.
This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first
bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always
used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is
added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to
explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).

ring-buffer: prevent adding write in discarded area
The ring buffer may now add discarded events when a write passes
the end of a buffer page. Before, a discarded event was only added
when the tracer deliberately created one. The ring buffer benchmark
test does not handle discarded events when it reads the buffer and
fails when it encounters one.
Also fix the increment for large data entries (luckily, the test did
not add any yet).

During bootup performance tracing we see repeated occurrences of
/sys/kernel/uid/* events for the same uid, leading to a,
in this case, rather pointless userspace processing for the
same uid over and over.
This is usually caused by tools which change their uid to "nobody",
to run without privileges to read data supplied by untrusted users.
This change delays the execution of the (already existing) scheduled
work, to cleanup the uid after one second, so the allocated and announced
uid can possibly be re-used by another process.
This is the current behavior, where almost every invocation of a
binary, which changes the uid, creates two events:
$ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \
read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
echo $(($END - $START))
178
With the delayed cleanup, we get only two events, and userspace finishes
a bit faster too:
$ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \
read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
echo $(($END - $START))

This a very tight race where an interrupt could come in and not
have enough data to put into the end of a buffer page, and that
it would fail to write and need to go to the next page.
But if this happened when another writer was about to reserver
their data, and that writer has smaller data to reserve, then
it could succeed even though the interrupt moved the tail page.
To pervent that, if we fail to store data, and by subtracting the
amount we reserved we still have room for smaller data, we need
to fill that space with "discarded" data.

This false positive is due to field padding in struct sigqueue. When

With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this:
1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of
each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or
uninitialized.
2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized.
There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and
"recently freed".
If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return
memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck.
If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still
request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page
faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being
initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object.
In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the
__GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should
not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values
are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now
enable/disable false positives with a config option).
Parts of this patch were contributed by Pekka Enberg but merged for
atomicity.

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.

Rationale: kmemcheck needs to be able to schedule a tasklet without
touching any dynamically allocated memory _at_ _all_ (since that would
lead to a recursive page fault). This tasklet is used for writing the
error reports to the kernel log.
The new scheduling function avoids touching any other tasklets by
inserting the new tasklist as the head of the "tasklet_hi" list instead
of on the tail.
Also don't wake up the softirq thread lest the scheduler access some
tracked memory and we go down with a recursive page fault.
In this case, we'd better just wait for the maximum time of 1/HZ for the
message to appear.

This patch (as1241) renames a bunch of functions in the PM core.
Rather than go through a boring list of name changes, suffice it to

device_resume_noirq dpm_resume_noirq
device_resume dpm_resume
device_complete dpm_complete
device_suspend_noirq dpm_suspend_noirq
device_suspend dpm_suspend
device_prepare dpm_prepare
in which device_X does the X operation on a single device and dpm_X
invokes device_X for all devices in the dpm_list.
In addition, the old dpm_power_up and device_resume_noirq have been
combined into a single function (dpm_resume_noirq).
Lastly, dpm_suspend_start and dpm_resume_end are the renamed versions
of the former top-level device_suspend and device_resume routines.

Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way.
We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying
the full structure size inside it.
When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail.
When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail
consists of 0s, otherwise fail.
If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's
native attribe size back into the provided structure.
Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter
creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in
the __reserved fields).

It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).
Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.
This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.
Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.

Impact: API cleanup
For historical reasons, 'bool' parameters must be an int, not a bool.
But there are around 600 users, so a conversion seems like useless churn.
So we use __same_type() to distinguish, and handle both cases.

Impact: cleanup
Rather than hack KPARAM_KMALLOCED into the perm field, separate it out.
Since the perm field was 32 bits and only needs 16, we don't add bloat.

It takes an 'int' for historical reasons, and there are only two
users: simply switch it over to bool.
The other user (uvesafb.c) will get a (harmless-on-x86) warning until
the next patch is applied.

Thomas, Andrew and Ingo pointed out that we don't have any safety checks
in the clocksource sysfs entries to make sure sysadmins don't try to
change the clocksource to a non high-res timer capable clocksource (such
as jiffies) when high-res timers (HRT) is enabled. Doing so will likely
hang a system.
Correct this by filtering non HRT clocksources from available_clocksources
and not accepting non HRT clocksources with HRT enabled.

We currently log hw.sample_period for PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, however this is
incorrect. When we adjust the period, it will only take effect the next
cycle but report it for the current cycle. So when we adjust the period
for every cycle, we're always wrong.
Solve this by keeping track of the last_period.
