Maciej W. Rozycki 4ff4b9e19a ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC sync
We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC
synchronisation.  The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as
possible to the middle of a second.  Which means we want this function to
be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec
equals 5e8 (500000000).

If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose
instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the
next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8.  The calculated
offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the
timer.

Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode,
where the resulting value is rounded up.  As a result the range of
now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC
rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2.

As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the
time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 +
TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the
same range of now.tv_nsec again.  Similarly for cases offsetted by an
integer multiple of TICK_NSEC.

This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the
nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be
equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in
timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

Thomas Gleixner 7300711e8c clockevents: broadcast fixup possible waiters
Until the C1E patches arrived there where no users of periodic broadcast
before switching to oneshot mode. Now we need to trigger a possible
waiter for a periodic broadcast when switching to oneshot mode.
Otherwise we can starve them for ever.

Balbir Singh 49048622ea sched: fix process time monotonicity
Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite
the fixes in commit b27f03d4bd. The suspected
reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and
stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime()
routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem
to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch
fixes the problem

TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more
generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt()
function for comparison.

Thomas Gleixner 1fb9b7d29d clockevents: prevent endless loop lockup
The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a
too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event.

The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event
device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just
added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device.
When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever.

Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning
and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again.
Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code.

Thomas Gleixner 9c17bcda99 clockevents: prevent multiple init/shutdown
While chasing the C1E/HPET bugreports I went through the clock events
code inch by inch and found that the broadcast device can be initialized
and shutdown multiple times. Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but
useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another
CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and
the second init could just render it unusable again.

Thomas Gleixner 7205656ab4 clockevents: enforce reprogram in oneshot setup
In tick_oneshot_setup we program the device to the given next_event,
but we do not check the return value. We need to make sure that the
device is programmed enforced so the interrupt handler engine starts
working. Split out the reprogramming function from tick_program_event()
and call it with the device, which was handed in to tick_setup_oneshot().
Set the force argument, so the devices is firing an interrupt.

Thomas Gleixner d4496b3955 clockevents: prevent endless loop in periodic broadcast handler
The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken,
when the first programming returned -ETIME. The clockevents code
stores the new expiry value in the clock events device next_event field
only when the programming time has not been elapsed yet. The loop in
question calculates the new expiry value from the next_event value
and therefor never increases.

Venkatesh Pallipadi 7c1e768974 clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop
There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which
clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch
will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as
event handler, resulting in no timer activity.

The problematic path seems to be

* old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler
* new clockevent device registers with a higher rating
* tick_check_new_device() is called
  * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called
    * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop
  * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device
    * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop.

Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler.

This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent
devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting
some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch.
This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting
with.

John Kacur 9d35935747 pm_qos_requirement might sleep
Make PM_QOS and CPU_IDLE play nicer when run with the RT-Preempt kernel.

The purpose of the patch is to remove the spin_lock around the read in the
function pm_qos_requirement - since spinlocks can sleep in -rt and this
function is called from idle.

CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the pm_qos parameters from
the idle loop causing sleeping locking warnings.  Changing the
target_value to an atomic avoids this issue.

Remove the spinlock in pm_qos_requirement by making target_value an atomic
type.

Oleg Nesterov 950bbabb5a pid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exits
We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the
subnamespace init exits.  As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed
out this is wrong.

Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task
exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the
main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by
exit_task_namespaces().

Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new
->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed.  Kill
the now unneeded exit_child_reaper().

Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to
find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and
makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

Oleg Nesterov add0d4dfd6 pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing
zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong.

Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4()
doesn't see any child.  But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we
may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait().  In that case
the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it
will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper.

Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent()
uses reaper == NULL.

Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead.
We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not
really matter.  These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent
after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually.

Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise
forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we
will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

Andi Kleen 316d9679f3 Don't trigger softlockup detector on network fs blocked tasks
Pulling the ethernet cable on a 2.6.27-rc system with NFS mounts
currently leads to an ongoing flood of soft lockup detector backtraces
for all tasks blocked on the NFS mounts when the hickup takes
longer than 120s.

I don't think NFS problems should be all that noisy.

Luckily there's a reasonably easy way to distingush this case.

Don't report task softlockup warnings for tasks in TASK_KILLABLE
state, which is used by the network file systems.

I believe this patch is a 2.6.27 candidate.

John Blackwood f3ade83780 sched: fix sched_rt_rq_enqueue() resched idle
When sysctl_sched_rt_runtime is set to something other than -1 and the
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED kernel parameter is NOT enabled, we get into a state
where we see one or more CPUs idling forvever even though there are
real-time
tasks in their rt runqueue that are able to run (no longer throttled).

The sequence is:

- A real-time task is running when the timer sets the rt runqueue
    to throttled, and the rt task is resched_task()ed and switched
    out, and idle is switched in since there are no non-rt tasks to
    run on that cpu.

- Eventually the do_sched_rt_period_timer() runs and un-throttles
    the rt runqueue, but we just exit the timer interrupt and go back
    to executing the idle task in the idle loop forever.

If we change the sched_rt_rq_enqueue() routine to use some of the code
from the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled version of this same routine and
resched_task() the currently executing task (idle in our case) if it is
a lower priority task than the higher rt task in the now un-throttled
runqueue, the problem is no longer observed.

Steven Rostedt f42ac38c59 ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram
I've been painstakingly debugging the issue with suspend to ram and
ftraced. The 2.6.28 code does not have this issue, but since the mcount
recording is not going to be in 27, this must be solved for the ftrace
daemon version.

The resume from suspend to ram would reboot because it was triple
faulting. Debugging further, I found that calling the mcount function
itself was not an issue, but it would fault when it incremented
preempt_count. preempt_count is on the tasks info structure that is on the
low memory address of the task's stack.  For some reason, it could not
write to it. Resuming out of suspend to ram does quite a lot of funny
tricks to get to work, so it is not surprising at all that simply doing a
preempt_disable() would cause a fault.

Thanks to Rafael for suggesting to add a "while (1);" to find the place in
resuming that is causing the fault. I would place the loop somewhere in
the code, compile and reboot and see if it would either reboot (hit the
fault) or simply hang (hit the loop).  Doing this over and over again, I
narrowed it down that it was happening in enable_nonboot_cpus.

At this point, I found that it is easier to simply disable tracing around
the suspend code, instead of searching for the particular function that
can not handle doing a preempt_disable.

This patch disables the tracer as it suspends and reenables it on resume.

I tested this patch on my Laptop, and it can resume fine with the patch.

The root cause for this oops is in add_lock_to_list() when
save_trace() fails due to MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES is reached,
entry->class is assigned but entry is never added into any lock list.
This makes the list_del_rcu() in zap_class() oops later when the
module is unloaded. This patch fixes the problem by assigning
entry->class after save_trace() returns success.

which pushes values in the range '95..99' to '100' rather than

Linus Torvalds ffb4ba76a2 [module] Don't let gcc inline load_module()
'load_module()' is a complex function that contains all the ELF section
logic, and inlining it is utterly insane.  But gcc will do it, simply
because there is only one call-site.  As a result, all the stack space
that is allocated for all the work to load the module will still be
active when we actually call the module init sequence, and the deep call
chain makes stack overflows happen.

And stack overflows are really hard to debug, because they not only
corrupt random pages below the stack, but also corrupt the thread_info
structure that is allocated under the stack.

In this case, Alan Brunelle reported some crazy oopses at bootup, after
loading the processor module that ends up doing complex ACPI stuff and
has quite a deep callchain.  This should fix it, and is the sane thing
to do regardless.

Peter Zijlstra 354879bb97 sched_clock: fix cpu_clock()
This patch fixes 3 issues:

a) it removes the dependency on jiffies, because jiffies are incremented
   by a single CPU, and the tick is not synchronized between CPUs. Therefore
   relying on it to calculate a window to clip whacky TSC values doesn't work
   as it can drift around.

   So instead use [GTOD, GTOD+TICK_NSEC) as the window.

b) __update_sched_clock() did (roughly speaking):

   delta = sched_clock() - scd->tick_raw;
   clock += delta;

   Which gives exponential growth, instead of linear.

c) allows the sched_clock_cpu() value to warp the u64 without breaking.

the results are more reliable sched_clock() deltas:

Miao Xie 3c4fbe5e01 nohz: fix wrong event handler after online an offlined cpu
On the tickless system(CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n), after
I made an offlined cpu online, I found this cpu's event handler was
tick_handle_periodic, not tick_nohz_handler.

After debuging, I found this bug was caused by the wrong tick mode.  the
tick mode is not changed to NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE when the cpu is offline.

This patch fixes this bug.

Ken Chen 2d70b68d42 fix setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) thread iterator breakage
When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP
process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other
sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting.  The problem was that the
iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each
process, ignoring all other sibling thread.

Introduce a new macro do_each_pid_thread / while_each_pid_thread to walk
each thread of a process.  Convert 4 call sites in {set/get}priority and
ioprio_{set/get}.
