nr_processes() returns the sum of the per cpu counter process_counts for
all online CPUs. This counter is incremented for the current CPU on
fork() and decremented for the current CPU on exit(). Since a process
does not necessarily fork and exit on the same CPU the process_count for
an individual CPU can be either positive or negative and effectively has
no meaning in isolation.
Therefore calculating the sum of process_counts over only the online
CPUs omits the processes which were started or stopped on any CPU which
has since been unplugged. Only the sum of process_counts across all
possible CPUs has meaning.
The only caller of nr_processes() is proc_root_getattr() which
calculates the number of links to /proc as
stat->nlink = proc_root.nlink + nr_processes();
You don't have to be all that unlucky for the nr_processes() to return a
negative value leading to a negative number of links (or rather, an
apparently enormous number of links). If this happens then you can get
failures where things like "ls /proc" start to fail because they got an
-EOVERFLOW from some stat() call.
Example with some debugging inserted to show what goes on:

I'm not 100% convinced that the per_cpu regions remain valid for offline
CPUs, although my testing suggests that they do. If not then I think the
correct solution would be to aggregate the process_count for a given CPU
into a global base value in cpu_down().
This bug appears to pre-date the transition to git and it looks like it
may even have been present in linux-2.6.0-test7-bk3 since it looks like
the code Rusty patched in http://lwn.net/Articles/64773/ was already
wrong.

Very long RCU read-side critical sections (50 milliseconds or
so) can cause a race between force_quiescent_state() and
rcu_start_gp() as follows on kernel builds with multi-level
rcu_node hierarchies:
1. CPU 0 calls force_quiescent_state(), sees that there is a
grace period in progress, and acquires ->fsqlock.
2. CPU 1 detects the end of the grace period, and so
cpu_quiet_msk_finish() sets rsp->completed to rsp->gpnum.
This operation is carried out under the root rnp->lock,
but CPU 0 has not yet acquired that lock. Note that
rsp->signaled is still RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK from the last
grace period.
3. CPU 1 calls rcu_start_gp(), but no one wants a new grace
period, so it drops the root rnp->lock and returns.
4. CPU 0 acquires the root rnp->lock and picks up rsp->completed
and rsp->signaled, then drops rnp->lock. It then enters the
RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement.
5. CPU 2 invokes call_rcu(), and now needs a new grace period.
It calls rcu_start_gp(), which acquires the root rnp->lock, sets
rsp->signaled to RCU_GP_INIT (too bad that CPU 0 is already in
the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement!) and starts
initializing the rcu_node hierarchy. If there are multiple
levels to the hierarchy, it will drop the root rnp->lock and
initialize the lower levels of the hierarchy.
6. CPU 0 notes that rsp->completed has not changed, which permits
both CPU 2 and CPU 0 to try updating it concurrently. If CPU 0's
update prevails, later calls to force_quiescent_state() can
count old quiescent states against the new grace period, which
can in turn result in premature ending of grace periods.
Not good.
This patch adds an RCU_GP_IDLE state for rsp->signaled that is
set initially at boot time and any time a grace period ends.
This prevents CPU 0 from getting into the workings of
force_quiescent_state() in step 4. Additional locking and
checks prevent the concurrent update of rsp->signaled in step 6.

debugobjects warns about an enqueued timer being initialized. If
CONFIG_USER_SCHED=y the user management code uses delayed work to
remove the user from the hash table and tear down the sysfs objects.
free_uid is called from RCU and initializes/schedules delayed work if
the usage count of the user_struct is 0. The init/schedule happens
outside of the uidhash_lock protected region which allows a concurrent
caller of find_user() to reference the about to be destroyed
user_struct w/o preventing the work from being scheduled. If the next
free_uid call happens before the work timer expired then the active
timer is initialized and the work scheduled again.
The race was introduced in commit 5cb350ba (sched: group scheduling,
sysfs tunables) and made more prominent by commit 3959214f (sched:
delayed cleanup of user_struct)
Move the init/schedule_delayed_work inside of the uidhash_lock
protected region to prevent the race.

The warning is
---> WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled());
The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but
sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling the
connector.
After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector from
__set_special_pids to sys_setsid.
We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from
task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the
session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM.
One last thing:
There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a
notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user
space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems
to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If
we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an
additional patch (Scott?)

e180a6b775 "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case
where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers
accessing random memory.
Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's
rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all:
1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an
uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param.
2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then
it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory.
The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This
prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there
are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are
root-only writable.

the reason for commit 41890f2 (futex: Handle spurious wake up)
See debugging discussing on LKML Message-ID: <4AD4080C.20703@us.ibm.com>
The changes in this fix to the wait_requeue_pi path were considered to
be a likely unecessary, but harmless safety net. But it turns out that
due to the fact that for unknown $@#!*( reasons EWOULDBLOCK is defined
as EAGAIN we built an endless loop in the code path which returns
correctly EWOULDBLOCK.
Spurious wakeups in wait_requeue_pi code path are unlikely so we do
the easy solution and return EWOULDBLOCK^WEAGAIN to user space and let
it deal with the spurious wakeup.

trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It
currently returns the length of the space available in the
buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not
adequate here, because:
trace_seq_printf(s, "");
is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it
failed.
We can always see the amount written by looking at the before
and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as
printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to
the buffer or not.
Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the
buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.

This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing
pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also
switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely
mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which
improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp
scalability.
Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the
point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely
sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively,
which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing
aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp
throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is
actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the
desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service.
Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale.
To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing
wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time.
Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via
CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

Make the hrtimer based events work for sysprof.
Whenever a swevent is scheduled out, the hrtimer is canceled.
When it is scheduled back in, the timer is restarted. This
happens every scheduler tick, which means the timer never
expired because it was getting repeatedly restarted over and
over with the same period.
To fix that, save the remaining time when disabling; when
reenabling, use that saved time as the period instead of the
user-specified sampling period.
Also, move the starting and stopping of the hrtimers to helper
functions instead of duplicating the code.

Right now when calling schedule_on_each_cpu() from keventd there
is a deadlock because it tries to schedule a work item on the current CPU
too. This happens via lru_add_drain_all() in hwpoison.
Just call the function for the current CPU in this case. This is actually
faster too.

Merge reason: We need to be uptodate with the perf events development
branch because we plan to rewrite the breakpoints API on top of
perf events.
When requeuing tasks from one futex to another, the reference held
by the requeued task to the original futex location needs to be
dropped eventually.
Dropping the reference may ultimately lead to a call to
"iput_final" and subsequently call into filesystem- specific code -
which may be non-atomic.
It is therefore safer to defer this drop operation until after the
futex_hash_bucket spinlock has been dropped.

* branch 'tty-fixes'
tty: use the new 'flush_delayed_work()' helper to do ldisc flush
workqueue: add 'flush_delayed_work()' to run and wait for delayed work
tty: Make flush_to_ldisc() locking more robust
If the following sequence of events occurs, then
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU will hang waiting for a grace period to
complete, eventually OOMing the system:
o A TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted on a system
with more than 64 physical CPUs present (32 on a 32-bit system).
Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted
with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the
physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures.
o A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section
while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
structure.
o All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure
record quiescent states for the current grace period.
o All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough
physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure).
This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node
structure.
At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent
state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current
grace period never completes.
The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock
possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is
offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf
rcu_node structure. This will cause the next invocation of
force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period.
Without this fix, this hang can be triggered in an hour or so on
some machines with rcutorture and random CPU onlining/offlining.
With this fix, these same machines pass a full 10 hours of this
sort of abuse.

Check for NULL in match_futex() instead of doing explicit NULL pointer

false is a little odd, it's still correct as we expect valid key

Yanmin reported a hackbench regression due to:

> Date: Thu Sep 17 09:01:20 2009 +0200

> sched: Stop buddies from hogging the system
I really liked de69a80b, and it affecting hackbench shows I wasn't
crazy ;-)
So hackbench is a multi-cast, with one sender spraying multiple
receivers, who in their turn don't spray back.
This would be exactly the scenario that patch 'cures'. Previously
we would not clear the last buddy after running the next task,
allowing the sender to get back to work sooner than it otherwise
ought to have been, increasing latencies for other tasks.
Now, since those receivers don't poke back, they don't enforce the
buddy relation, which means there's nothing to re-elect the sender.
Cure this by less agressively clearing the buddy stats. Only clear
buddies when they were not chosen. It should still avoid a buddy
sticking around long after its served its time.

Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.
v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

The loop in perf_ctx_adjust_freq checks the frequency of sampling
event counters, and adjusts the event interval and unthrottles the
event if required, and resets the interrupt count for the event.
However, at present it only looks at group leaders.
This means that a sampling event that is not a group leader will
eventually get throttled, once its interrupt count reaches
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ --- and that is guaranteed to
happen, if the event is active for long enough, since the interrupt
count never gets reset. Once it is throttled it never gets
unthrottled, so it basically just stops working at that point.
This fixes it by making perf_ctx_adjust_freq use ctx->event_list
rather than ctx->group_list. The existing spin_lock/spin_unlock
around the loop makes it unnecessary to put rcu_read_lock/
rcu_read_unlock around the list_for_each_entry_rcu().

The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and
futex_wait_requeue_pi.
The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake /
requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one
of the syscall restart error codes.
In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals
with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error
code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the
return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test
program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in
spurious wake up accelerator :)
Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and
handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.

This resolves consistency issues between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe.
The main goal is to avoid conflicts between local variable names of
probed functions, used by perf probe, and special variables used
in the kprobe event creation interface (stack values, etc...) and
also available from perf probe.
ie: we don't want rv (return value) to conflict with a local variable
named rv in a probed function.

Some tracepoint magic (TRACE_EVENT(lock_acquired)) relies on
the fact that lock hold times are positive and uses div64 on

It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked
due to IO throttle, as suggested by Kame and Peter.
There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle,
however it has been mismatching the code for a long time.
If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an
undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.

Commit f2e21c9610 had unfortunate side
effects with cpufreq governors on some systems.
If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor
all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle
accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors.
Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep
the idle time accounting correct in any case.

Before this patch, all of the rcu_node structures were in the same lockdep
class, so that lockdep would complain when rcu_preempt_offline_tasks()
acquired the root rcu_node structure's lock while holding one of the leaf
rcu_nodes' locks.
This patch changes rcu_init_one() to use a separate
spin_lock_init() for the root rcu_node structure's lock than is
used for that of all of the rest of the rcu_node structures, which
puts the root rcu_node structure's lock in its own lockdep class.

The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that
RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain.
This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its
own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers
to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished.
This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of
hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be
invoked from within CPU notifiers. If you don't every wait, you
cannot hang.

Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.
These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.
However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has

Rich reported a lock imbalance in the futex code:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14288
It's caused by the displacement of the retry_private label in
futex_wake_op(). The code unlocks the hash bucket locks in the
error handling path and retries without locking them again which
makes the next unlock fail.
Move retry_private so we lock the hash bucket locks when we retry.

The rcu_barrier enum causes several problems:
(1) you have to define the enum somewhere, and there is no
convenient place,
(2) the difference between TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU causes
problems when you need to map from rcu_barrier enum to struct
rcu_state,
(3) the switch statement are large, and
(4) TINY_RCU really needs a different rcu_barrier() than do the
treercu implementations.
So replace it with a functionally equivalent but cleaner function

These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code
review extending over many hours. This group improves an existing
abstraction and introduces two new ones. It also fixes an RCU
stall-warning bug found while making the other changes.
o Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing
the need to declare them at each call site.
o Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf
nodes of the rcu_node tree.
o Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does
a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA
stepping through the array in index-number order.
o If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf
will be moved to the root rcu_node structure. Therefore,
the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the
root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf
rcu_node structures.

This patch clean up/fixes for memcg's uncharge soft limit path.
Problems:
Now, res_counter_charge()/uncharge() handles softlimit information at
charge/uncharge and softlimit-check is done when event counter per memcg
goes over limit. Now, event counter per memcg is updated only when
memory usage is over soft limit. Here, considering hierarchical memcg
management, ancesotors should be taken care of.
Now, ancerstors(hierarchy) are handled in charge() but not in uncharge().
This is not good.
Prolems:
1. memcg's event counter incremented only when softlimit hits. That's bad.
It makes event counter hard to be reused for other purpose.
2. At uncharge, only the lowest level rescounter is handled. This is bug.
Because ancesotor's event counter is not incremented, children should
take care of them.
3. res_counter_uncharge()'s 3rd argument is NULL in most case.
ops under res_counter->lock should be small. No "if" sentense is better.
Fixes:
* Removed soft_limit_xx poitner and checks in charge and uncharge.
Do-check-only-when-necessary scheme works enough well without them.
* make event-counter of memcg incremented at every charge/uncharge.
(per-cpu area will be accessed soon anyway)
* All ancestors are checked at soft-limit-check. This is necessary because
ancesotor's event counter may never be modified. Then, they should be
checked at the same time.

Starting from commit 4a4962263f "reduce

with CONFIG_KALLSYMS disabled.
CC kernel/module.o
kernel/module.c:1995: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'Elf_Hdr'
kernel/module.c:1995: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '*' token

There are three different issues:
- layout_symtab() takes a const Elf_Ehdr
- layout_symtab() needs to return a value
- symoffs/stroffs/strmap are referenced by the load_module() code
despite being ifdefed out, which seems unnecessary given the noop
behaviour of layout_symtab()/add_kallsyms() in the case of
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=n.

Commit ddc1637af2 ("kmemtrace: Print

error detection logic. register_tracer() returns 0 on success,
which this change caused to treat as an error, resulting in:
[ 0.132000] Warning: could not register the kmem tracer
as well as bailing out of the initcall with an error value. This
restores the old logic.

Paul Mackerras says:
"Actually, looking at this more closely, it has to be a group
leader anyway since it's at the top level of ctx->group_list. In
fact I see four places where we do:
list_for_each_entry(event, &ctx->group_list, group_entry) {
if (event == event->group_leader)
...
or the equivalent, three of which appear to have been introduced
by afedadf2 ("perf_counter: Optimize sched in/out of counters")
back in May by Peter Z.
As far as I can see the if () is superfluous in each case (a
singleton event will be a group of 1 and will have its
group_leader pointing to itself)."
[ See: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125361238901442&w=2 ]
And Peter Zijlstra points out this is a bugfix:
"The intent was to call event_sched_{in,out}() for single event
groups because that's cheaper than group_sched_{in,out}(),
however..
- as you noticed, I got the condition wrong, it should have read:
list_empty(&event->sibling_list)
- it failed to call group_can_go_on() which deals with ->exclusive.
- it also doesn't call hw_perf_group_sched_in() which might break
power."

When CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is enabled
__ftrace_trace_function contains the current trace function, not
ftrace_trace_function.
In ftrace_update_pid_func() we currently incorrectly assign the
value of ftrace_trace_function to __ftrace_trace_funcion before
returning.
Without this patch it is possible to execute an infinite recursion
whereby ftrace_test_stop_func() calls __ftrace_trace_function,
which was assigned ftrace_test_stop_func() in
ftrace_update_pid_func().

Commit def0a9b257 (sched_clock: Make it NMI safe) assumed
cmpxchg() of 64bit values was available on X86_32.
That is not so - and causes some subtle scheduler misbehavior due
to incorrect timestamps off to up by ~4 seconds.
Two symptoms are known right now:
- interactivity problems seen by Arjan: up to 600 msecs
latencies instead of the expected 20-40 msecs. These
latencies are very visible on the desktop.
- incorrect CPU stats: occasionally too high percentages in 'top',
and crazy CPU usage stats.

clocksource_resume is called early in the resume process, there is
only one cpu, no processes are running and the interrupts are
disabled. It is therefore possible to resume the clocksources
without taking the clocksource mutex.

The filter code has stolen the regex parsing function from ftrace to
get the regex support.
We have duplicated this code, so factorize it in the filter area and
make it generally available, as the filter code is the most suited to
host this feature.

This patch provides basic support for regular expressions in filters.
It supports the following types of regexp:
- *match_beginning
- *match_middle*
- match_end*
- !don't match
Example:
cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl/lock_kernel
echo 'file == "*reiserfs*"' > filter
echo 1 > enable
gedit-4941 [000] 457.735437: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/namei.c:334 reiserfs_lookup()
sync_supers-227 [001] 461.379985: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/super.c:69 reiserfs_sync_fs()
sync_supers-227 [000] 461.383096: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/journal.c:1069 flush_commit_list()
reiserfs/1-1369 [001] 461.479885: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/journal.c:3509 flush_async_commits()
Every string is now handled as a regexp in the filter framework, which
helps to factorize the code for handling both simple strings and
regexp comparisons.
(The regexp parsing code has been wildly cherry picked from ftrace.c
written by Steve.)
