Currently, rcutorture has separate torture_types to test synchronous,
asynchronous, and expedited grace-period primitives. This has
two disadvantages: (1) Three times the number of runs to cover the
combinations and (2) Little testing of concurrent combinations of the
three options. This commit therefore adds a pair of module parameters
that control normal and expedited state, with the default being both
types, randomly selected, by the fakewriter processes, thus reducing
source-code size and increasing test coverage. In addtion, the writer
task switches between asynchronous-normal and expedited grace-period
primitives driven by the same pair of module parameters.

Currently the params.c code allows only two "set" functions to have
no arguments. If a parameter does not have an argument, then it
looks at the set function and tests if it is either param_set_bool()
or param_set_bint(). If it is not one of these functions, then it
fails the loading of the module.
But there may be module parameters that have different set functions
and still allow no arguments. But unless each of these cases adds
their function to the if statement, it wont be allowed to have no
arguments. This method gets rather messing and does not scale.
Instead, introduce a flags field to the kernel_param_ops, where if
the flag KERNEL_PARAM_FL_NOARG is set, the parameter will not fail
if it does not contain an argument. It will be expected that the
corresponding set function can handle a NULL pointer as "val".

81eeaf0411 ("cgroup: make cftype->[un]register_event() deal with

however, it incorrectly used @css passed to

Fix it by using the css matching the event target file. Note that

105347ba5 ("cgroup: make cgroup_file_open() rcu_read_lock() around
cgroup_css() and add cfent->css") added cfent->css to cache the
associted cgroup_subsys_state across file operations.
A cfent is associated with single css throughout its lifetime and the
origimal commit initialized the cache pointer during cgroup_add_file()
and verified that it matches the actual one in cgroup_file_open().
While this works fine for !root cgroups, it's broken for root cgroups
as files in a root cgroup are created before the css's are associated
with the cgroup and thus cgroup_css() call in cgroup_add_file()
returns NULL associating all cfents in the root cgroup with NULL css.
This makes cgroup_file_open() trigger WARN and fail with -ENODEV for
all !core subsystem files in the root cgroups.
There's no reason to initialize cfent->css separately from
cgroup_add_file(). As the association never changes,
cgroup_file_open() can set it unconditionally every time and
containing the logic in cgroup_file_open() makes more sense anyway as
the only reason it's necessary is file->private_data being already

This commit adds fields to the rcu_dyntick structure that are used to
detect idle CPUs. These new fields differ from the existing ones in
that the existing ones consider a CPU executing in user mode to be idle,
where the new ones consider CPUs executing in user mode to be busy.
The handling of these new fields is otherwise quite similar to that for
the exiting fields. This commit also adds the initialization required
for these fields.
So, why is usermode execution treated differently, with RCU considering
it a quiescent state equivalent to idle, while in contrast the new
full-system idle state detection considers usermode execution to be
non-idle?
It turns out that although one of RCU's quiescent states is usermode
execution, it is not a full-system idle state. This is because the
purpose of the full-system idle state is not RCU, but rather determining
when accurate timekeeping can safely be disabled. Whenever accurate
timekeeping is required in a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL kernel, at least one
CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick going. If even one CPU is
executing in user mode, accurate timekeeping is requires, particularly for
architectures where gettimeofday() and friends do not enter the kernel.
Only when all CPUs are really and truly idle can accurate timekeeping be
disabled, allowing all CPUs to turn off the scheduling clock interrupt,
thus greatly improving energy efficiency.
This naturally raises the question "Why is this code in RCU rather than in
timekeeping?", and the answer is that RCU has the data and infrastructure
to efficiently make this determination.

return value from debug-objects and leak the callback upon error.
This commit also substitutes rcu_leak_callback() for whatever callback
function was previously in place in order to avoid freeing the callback
out from under any readers that might still be referencing it.
These changes increase the probability that the debug-objects error

Thus, this commit temporarily switches to expedited grace periods when
suspending the box and return to normal settings when resuming. Similar
logic is applied to hibernation.
Because expedited grace periods are of dubious benefit on very large
systems, so this commit restricts their automated use during suspend
and resume to systems of 256 or fewer CPUs. (Some day a number of

Freq events may not always be affine to a particular CPU. As such,

To solve this, lets account freq events globally. In practice
this doesn't change much the picture because perf tools create
per-task perf events with one event per CPU by default. Profiling a
single CPU is usually a corner case so there is no much point in
optimizing things that way.

When we fail to allocate the callchain buffers, we roll back the refcount
we did and return from get_callchain_buffers().
However we take the refcount and allocate under the callchain lock
but the rollback is done outside the lock.
As a result, while we roll back, some concurrent callchain user may
call get_callchain_buffers(), see the non-zero refcount and give up
because the buffers are NULL without itself retrying the allocation.
The consequences aren't that bad but that behaviour looks weird enough and
it's better to give their chances to the following callchain users where
we failed.

tick_nohz_full_kick_all() is useful to notify all full dynticks
CPUs that there is a system state change to checkout before
re-evaluating the need for the tick.
Unfortunately this is implemented using smp_call_function_many()
that ignores the local CPU. This CPU also needs to re-evaluate
the tick.
on_each_cpu_mask() is not useful either because we don't want to
re-evaluate the tick state in place but asynchronously from an IPI
to avoid messing up with any random locking scenario.
So lets call tick_nohz_full_kick() from tick_nohz_full_kick_all()

Pull nohz improvements from Frederic Weisbecker:
" It mostly contains fixes and full dynticks off-case optimizations. I believe that
distros want to enable this feature so it seems important to optimize the case
where the "nohz_full=" parameter is empty. ie: I'm trying to remove any performance
regression that comes with NO_HZ_FULL=y when the feature is not used.
This patchset improves the current situation a lot (off-case appears to be around 11% faster
with hackbench, although I guess it may vary depending on the configuration but it should be
significantly faster in any case) now there is still some work to do: I can still observe a
remaining loss of 1.6% throughput seen with hackbench compared to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=n. "

The vtime delta update performed by get_vtime_delta() always check
that the source of the snapshot is valid.
Meanhile the snapshot updaters that rely on get_vtime_delta() also
set the new snapshot origin. But some of them do this right before
the call to get_vtime_delta(), making its debug check useless.
This is easily fixable by moving the snapshot origin update after
the call to get_vtime_delta(). The order doesn't matter there.

The cputime accounting in full dynticks can be a subtle
mixup of CPUs using tick based accounting and others using
generic vtime.
As long as the tick can have a share on producing these stats, we
want to scale the result against CFS precise accounting as the tick
can miss some task hiding between the periodic interrupt.

with the code that does the cputime accounting flush.
Otherwise the cputime reader can be fooled and run into
a race where it sees the snapshot update but misses the

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6 ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").
The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size. The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.
This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.

With the planned unified hierarchy, individual css's will be created
and destroyed dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup. To enable
such usages, css destruction is being decoupled from cgroup
destruction. Most of the destruction path has been decoupled but the
actual free of css still depends on cgroup free path.
When all css refs are drained, css_release() kicks off
css_free_work_fn() which puts the cgroup. When the cgroup refcnt
reaches zero, cgroup_diput() is invoked which in turn schedules RCU
free of the cgroup. After a grace period, all css's are freed along
with the cgroup itself.
This patch moves the RCU grace period and css freeing from cgroup
release path to css release path. css_release(), instead of kicking
off css_free_work_fn() directly, schedules RCU callback
css_free_rcu_fn() which in turn kicks off css_free_work_fn() after a
RCU grace period. css_free_work_fn() is updated to free the css
directly.
The five-way punting - percpu ref kill confirmation, a work item,
percpu ref release, RCU grace period, and again a work item - is quite
hairy but the work items are there only to provide process context and
the actual sequence is kill confirm -> release -> RCU free, which
isn't simple but not too crazy.
This removes cgroup_css() usage after offline_css() allowing clearing
cgroup->subsys[] from offline_css(), which makes it consistent with
online_css() and brings it closer to proper lifetime management for
individual css's.

Currently, css (cgroup_subsys_state) lifetime is tied to that of the
associated cgroup. css's are created when the associated cgroup is
created and destroyed when it gets destroyed. Also, individual css's
aren't RCU protected but the whole cgroup is. With the planned
unified hierarchy, css's will need to be dynamically created and
destroyed within the lifetime of a cgroup.
To enable such usages, this patch decouples css destruction from
cgroup destruction - offline_css() invocation and the final css_put()
are moved from cgroup_destroy_css_killed() to css_killed_work_fn().
Now each css is individually offlined and put as its reference count
is killed instead of waiting for all css's attached to the cgroup to
finish refcnt killing and then proceeding to offlining and putting
them together.
While this changes the order of destruction operations, the changes
shouldn't be noticeable to cgroup subsystems or userland.

cgroup->css_kill_cnt is used during cgroup destruction to wait for css
reference count disable; however, this model doesn't work once css's
lifetimes are managed separately from cgroup's. This patch replaces
it with cgroup->nr_css which is an cgroup_mutex protected integer
counting the number of attached css's. The count is incremented from
online_css() and decremented after refcnt kill is confirmed. If the
count reaches zero and the cgroup is marked dead, the second stage of
cgroup destruction is kicked off. If a cgroup doesn't have any css
attached at the time of rmdir, cgroup_destroy_locked() now invokes the
second stage directly as no css kill confirmation would happen.
cgroup_offline_fn() - the second step of cgroup destruction - is
renamed to cgroup_destroy_css_killed() and now expects to be called
with cgroup_mutex held.

it shouldn't change any visible behavior.

pm_qos_update_request_timeout() updates a qos and then schedules
a delayed work item to bring the qos back down to the default

call pm_qos_update_request() and deadlock because it tries to
cancel itself via cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Future callers of
that qos will also hang waiting to cancel the work that is
canceling itself. Let's extract the little bit of code that does

This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed
to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like
__set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule();
can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition,
it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does
not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending).
However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical
section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes
another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with
"if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section.
The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before
spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already
does by the same reason.
We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(),
for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change
the default implementation.
While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers.
Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for
prepare_to_wait().

in other file operations are safe due to the reference from open,
cgroup_css() wouldn't know that and will still trigger warnings. It'd
be cleanest to store the acquired css in file->prvidate_data for
further file operations but that's already used by seqfile. This

With the planned unified hierarchy, css's (cgroup_subsys_state) will
be RCU protected and allowed to be attached and detached dynamically
over the course of a cgroup's lifetime. This means that css's will
stay accessible after being detached from its cgroup - the matching
pointer in cgroup->subsys[] cleared - for ref draining and RCU grace
period.
cgroup core still wants to guarantee that the parent css is never
destroyed before its children and css_parent() always returns the
parent regardless of the state of the child css as long as it's
accessible.
This patch makes css's hold onto their parents and adds css->parent so
that the parent css is never detroyed before its children and can be
determined without consulting the cgroups.
cgroup->dummy_css is also updated to point to the parent dummy_css;
however, it doesn't need to worry about object lifetime as the parent

CPU system maps are protected with reader/writer locks. The reader
lock, get_online_cpus(), assures that the maps are not updated while
holding the lock. The writer lock, cpu_hotplug_begin(), is used to
udpate the cpu maps along with cpu_maps_update_begin().
However, the ACPI processor handler updates the cpu maps without
holding the the writer lock.
acpi_map_lsapic() is called from acpi_processor_hotadd_init() to
update cpu_possible_mask and cpu_present_mask. acpi_unmap_lsapic()
is called from acpi_processor_remove() to update cpu_possible_mask.
Currently, they are either unprotected or protected with the reader
lock, which is not correct.
For example, the get_online_cpus() below is supposed to assure that
cpu_possible_mask is not changed while the code is iterating with
for_each_possible_cpu().
get_online_cpus();
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
:
}
put_online_cpus();
However, this lock has no protection with CPU hotplug since the ACPI
processor handler does not use the writer lock when it updates

This patch protects them with the writer lock with cpu_hotplug_begin()
along with cpu_maps_update_begin(), which must be held before calling
cpu_hotplug_begin(). It also protects arch_register_cpu() /
arch_unregister_cpu(), which creates / deletes a sysfs cpu device
interface. For this purpose it changes cpu_hotplug_begin() and
cpu_hotplug_done() to global and exports them in cpu.h.

Now that the full dynticks subsystem only enables the context tracking
on full dynticks CPUs, lets remove the dependency on CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
This dependency was a hack to enable the context tracking widely for the
full dynticks susbsystem until the latter becomes able to enable it in a
more CPU-finegrained fashion.
Now CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE only stands for testing on archs that
work on support for the context tracking while full dynticks can't be
used yet due to unmet dependencies. It simulates a system where all CPUs
are full dynticks so that RCU user extended quiescent states and dynticks
cputime accounting can be tested on the given arch.

The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively
enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that
we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking
and another range that does.
Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full
dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass
our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks
subsystem to the context tracking.
This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent
state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the
full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking
itself is still necessary everywhere.

As long as the context tracking is enabled on any CPU, even
a single one, all other CPUs need to keep track of their
user <-> kernel boundaries cross as well.
This is because a task can sleep while servicing an exception
that happened in the kernel or in userspace. Then when the task
eventually wakes up and return from the exception, the CPU needs
to know if we resume in userspace or in the kernel. exception_exit()
get this information from exception_enter() that saved the previous
state.
If the CPU where the exception happened didn't keep track of
these informations, exception_exit() doesn't know which state
tracking to restore on the CPU where the task got migrated
and we may return to userspace with the context tracking
subsystem thinking that we are in kernel mode.
This can be fixed in the long term if we move our context tracking
probes on very low level arch fast path user <-> kernel boundary,
although even that is worrisome as an exception can still happen
in the few instructions between the probe and the actual iret.
Also we are not yet ready to set these probes in the fast path given
the potential overhead problem it induces.
So let's fix this by always enable context tracking even on CPUs
that are not in the full dynticks range. OTOH we can spare the
rcu_user_*() and vtime_user_*() calls there because the tick runs
on these CPUs and we can handle RCU state machine and cputime
accounting through it.

1) If context tracking is enabled with native vtime accounting (which
combo is useless except for dev testing), we call vtime_guest_enter()
and vtime_guest_exit() on host <-> guest switches. But those are stubs
in this configurations. As a result, cputime is not correctly flushed
on kvm context switches.
2) If context tracking runs but is disabled on some CPUs, those
CPUs end up calling __guest_enter/__guest_exit which in turn
call vtime_account_system(). We don't want to call this because we
run in tick based accounting for these CPUs.
Refactor the guest_enter/guest_exit code such that all combinations
finally work.

Commit b202952075 ("perf, core: Rate limit
perf_sched_events jump_label patching") introduced rate limiting
for jump label disabling. The changes were made in the jump label code
in order to be more widely available and to keep things tidier. This is
all fine, except now jump_label.h includes linux/workqueue.h, which
makes it impossible to include jump_label.h from anything that
workqueue.h needs. For example, it's now impossible to include
jump_label.h from asm/spinlock.h, which is done in proposed
pv-ticketlock patches. This patch splits out the rate limiting related
changes from jump_label.h into a new file, jump_label_ratelimit.h, to
resolve the issue.

Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin
(root of subtree) css in the iteration. The reasons were maintaining
consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of
introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway;
however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a
descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and
looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that
including origin would result in simpler code overall.
While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup
API including the iterators has recently gone through major
restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without
adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this
type of change.
The conversions are mostly straight-forward. If the iteration block
had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the
iteration. If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added. Some
conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by
consolidating origin handling and the rest. While the extra ref
operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any
noticeable difference.

cgroup_scan_tasks() takes a pointer to struct cgroup_scanner as its

Drop struct cgroup_scanner and pass the params directly to

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.
* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
which is different from the current state where all css's are
allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup. This
in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.
* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
being performed for.
* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods
often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits
much better.
This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few
noteworthy changes are
* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
subsystems.
* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
dereference is replaced with local variable access.
This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.
v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.
Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so
that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a
leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too. Suggested

Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy
to find the parent of a given css. cgroup is moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so
let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses.
This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its
parent. The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as
long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy.
freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices
are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent
directly.
* __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with
parent_ca(). The only difference between the two was NULL test on
cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the
distinction moot. Note that eventually a css->parent field will be

css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific
data structure. Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast
from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping
such cast. As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main
interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with
css's.
All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those
cases. While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all
controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the
casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially
optimize out the branch.

pointer has to be passed to an accessor. It's C after all.
Drop the "const" qualifiers except for the trivially leaf ones. This
patch doesn't make any functional changes.

The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -
cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward.
The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even
indicate it's somehow related to cgroup.
We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename
them so that they're less awkward. Most per-controller usages of the
accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of
scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.
Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state()
to task_css(). This patch is pure rename.

The only way to get the event ID is by reading the event fd,
followed by parsing the ID value out of the returned data.
While this is ok for current read format used by perf tool,
it is not ok when we use PERF_FORMAT_GROUP format.
With this format the data are returned for the whole group
and there's no way to find out what ID belongs to our fd
(if we are not group leader event).
Adding a simple ioctl that returns event primary ID for given fd.

Some of my configs I test with have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set.
When I started testing against v3.11-rc4 my console went bonkers. Using
ktest to bisect the issue, it came down to:
commit bbeddf52a "printk: move braille console support into separate
braille.[ch] files"
Looking into the patch I found the problem. It's with the return of
braille_register_console(). As anything other than NULL is considered a
failure.
But for those of us that have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set but do not
define a "brl" or "brl=" on the command line, we still may want a
console that those with sight can still use.
Return NULL (success) if "brl" or "brl=" is not on the console line.

This reverts commit fab840fc2d.
This commit even has the test-case to prove that the tracee
can be killed by SIGTRAP if the debugger does not remove the
breakpoints before PTRACE_DETACH.
However, this is exactly what wineserver deliberately does,
set_thread_context() calls PTRACE_ATTACH + PTRACE_DETACH just
for PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR*) in between.
So we should revert this fix and document that PTRACE_DETACH
should keep the breakpoints.

unshare_userns(new_cred) does *new_cred = prepare_creds() before
create_user_ns() which can fail. However, the caller expects that
it doesn't need to take care of new_cred if unshare_userns() fails.
We could change the single caller, sys_unshare(), but I think it
would be more clean to avoid the side effects on failure, so with
this patch unshare_userns() does put_cred() itself and initializes
*new_cred only if create_user_ns() succeeeds.

This patch guards the console_drivers list to be corrupted. The
for_each_console() macro insist on a strictly forward list ended by NULL:
con0->next->con1->next->NULL
Without this patch it may happen easily to destroy this list for example by
adding 'earlyprintk' twice, especially on embedded devices where the early
console is often a single static instance. This will result in the following
list:
con0->next->con0
This in turn will result in an endless loop in console_unlock() later on by
printing the first __log_buf line endlessly.

Fixed two issues with changing the timestamp clock with trace_clock:
- The global buffer was reset on instance clock changes. Change this to pass
the correct per-instance buffer
- ftrace_now() is used to set buf->time_start in tracing_reset_online_cpus().
This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to
return the current time. Change this to use buffer_ftrace_now() which
returns the current time for the correct per-instance buffer.
Also removed tracing_reset_current() because it is not used anywhere

tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains
a comment about that, but it doesn't help.
The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is
snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed.
The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to
cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was
converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask.
Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read
from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed.
The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe
can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

Uprobes suffer the same problem that kprobes have. There's a race between
writing to the "enable" file and removing the probe. The probe checks for
it being in use and if it is not, goes about deleting the probe and the
event that represents it. But the problem with that is, after it checks
if it is in use it can be enabled, and the deletion of the event (access
to the probe) will fail, as it is in use. But the uprobe will still be
deleted. This is a problem as the event can reference the uprobe that
was deleted.
The fix is to remove the event first, and check to make sure the event
removal succeeds. Then it is safe to remove the probe.
When the event exists, either ftrace or perf can enable the probe and
prevent the event from being removed.

The unregister_trace_probe() must be done first, and if it fails it must
fail the removal of the kprobe.
Several changes have already been made by Oleg Nesterov and Masami Hiramatsu
to allow moving the unregister_probe_event() before the removal of
the probe and exit the function if it fails. This prevents the tp
structure from being used after it is freed.

The "break" used in the do_for_each_event_file() is used as an optimization
as the loop is really a double loop. The loop searches all event files
for each trace_array. There's only one matching event file per trace_array
and after we find the event file for the trace_array, the break is used
to jump to the next trace_array and start the search there.
As this is not a standard way of using "break" in C code, it requires
a comment right before the break to let people know what is going on.

Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this
call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify
outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c
need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort
if trace_remove_event_call() fails.
The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that
nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds.
debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove()
does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need
the additional checks:
- There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the
patch checks ->perf_refcount.
- TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE,
so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

---[ end trace 793179526ee09b2c ]---
It was finally narrowed down to unloading a module that was being traced.
It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's
a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active
tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is
registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented.
When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented.
If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above
warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until
reboot.
The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on
(and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter
all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the
notrace_hash).
When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent
the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is
function records for one module will not exist on the same page as
function records for other modules or even the core kernel.
Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are
freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with
a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all
functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be
incremented).
The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the
module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the
module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point
to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect
that.
With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer:
Using uinput module and uinput_release function.
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
modprobe uinput
echo uinput_release > set_ftrace_filter
echo function > current_tracer
rmmod uinput
modprobe uinput
# check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again
echo nop > current_tracer
[BOOM]
The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that
can be traced within the module.
We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function.
Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record
associated to uinput_release.
Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents
uinput_release.
Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address).
This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero,
including uinput_release.
Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release
which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have
a mismatch (below zero ref count).
The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any
are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does
that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have
a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts
tracing that function.
There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions
on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions
being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not
a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload,
but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can
still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about
it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too.
Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's
function on unload and load.

A perf event can be used without forcing the tick to
stay alive if it doesn't use a frequency but a sample
period and if it doesn't throttle (raise storm of events).
Since the lockup detector neither use a perf event frequency
nor should ever throttle due to its high period, it can now
run concurrently with the full dynticks feature.
So remove the hack that disabled the watchdog.

Currently the full dynticks subsystem keep the
tick alive as long as there are perf events running.
This prevents the tick from being stopped as long as features
such that the lockup detectors are running. As a temporary fix,
the lockup detector is disabled by default when full dynticks
is built but this is not a long term viable solution.
To fix this, only keep the tick alive when an event configured
with a frequency rather than a period is running on the CPU,
or when an event throttles on the CPU.
These are the only purposes of the perf tick, especially now that
the rotation of flexible events is handled from a seperate hrtimer.
The tick can be shutdown the rest of the time.

In case of allocation failure, get_callchain_buffer() keeps the
refcount incremented for the current event.
As a result, when get_callchain_buffers() returns an error,
we must cleanup what it did by cancelling its last refcount
with a call to put_callchain_buffers().
This is a hack in order to be able to call free_event()
after that failure.
The original purpose of that was to simplify the failure
path. But this error handling is actually counter intuitive,
ugly and not very easy to follow because one expect to
see the resources used to perform a service to be cleaned
by the callee if case of failure, not by the caller.
So lets clean this up by cancelling the refcount from
get_callchain_buffer() in case of failure. And correctly free
the event accordingly in perf_event_alloc().

On callchain buffers allocation failure, free_event() is
called and all the accounting performed in perf_event_alloc()
for that event is cancelled.
But if the event has branch stack sampling, it is unaccounted
as well from the branch stack sampling events refcounts.
This is a bug because this accounting is performed after the
callchain buffer allocation. As a result, the branch stack sampling
events refcount can become negative.
To fix this, move the branch stack event accounting before the
callchain buffer allocation.

I've got an alternate approach for fixing this wart in lookup_ioctx()...
Instead of using an rbtree, just use the reserved id in the ring buffer
header to index an array pointing the ioctx. It's not finished yet, and
it needs to be tidied up, but is most of the way there.

Calling freeze_processes sets a global flag that will cause any
process that calls try_to_freeze to enter the refrigerator. It
skips sending a signal to the current task, but if the current
task ever hits try_to_freeze, all threads will be frozen and the
system will deadlock.
Set a new flag, PF_SUSPEND_TASK, on the task that calls
freeze_processes. The flag notifies the freezer that the thread
is involved in suspend and should not be frozen. Also add a
WARN_ON in thaw_processes if the caller does not have the
PF_SUSPEND_TASK flag set to catch if a different task calls
thaw_processes than the one that called freeze_processes, leaving
a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK permanently set on it.
Threads that spawn off a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK set (which
swsusp does) will also have PF_SUSPEND_TASK set, preventing them
from freezing while they are helping with suspend, but they need
to be dead by the time suspend is triggered, otherwise they may
run when userspace is expected to be frozen. Add a WARN_ON in
thaw_processes if more than one thread has the PF_SUSPEND_TASK
flag set.

Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every
file we are going to remove.
We need to check file->dir != NULL because event_create_dir()
can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch
moves it under the same check anyway for readability.
spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed
afaics, but I do not understand this code enough.
tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file()
can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops()
use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled.
This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete().
f_op->read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call,
all event/* files were changed to check and use ->i_private
under event_mutex.
Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can
destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but
those changes are completely orthogonal.

Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the
ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file
they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address
in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires
that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel.
The problem with this is for tools like trace-cmd and perf that read the
binary data from the buffers but have no access to the kernel memory to
find out what string is represented by the address in the buffer.
By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings
can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to
the strings.

The RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER() macro is used only in the rcutree.c file
as well as the rcutree_plugin.h file. It is passed as a rvalue to
a variable of a similar name. A per_cpu variable is also created
with a similar name as well.
The uses of RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER() can be simplified to remove some
of the duplicate code that is done. Currently the three users of this
macro has this format:
struct rcu_state rcu_sched_state =
RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER(rcu_sched, call_rcu_sched);
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct rcu_data, rcu_sched_data);
Notice that "rcu_sched" is called three times. This is the same with
the other two users. This can be condensed to just:
RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER(rcu_sched, call_rcu_sched);
by moving the rest into the macro itself.
This also opens the door to allow the RCU tracepoint strings and
their addresses to be exported so that userspace tracing tools can
translate the contents of the pointers of the RCU tracepoints.
The change will allow for helper code to be placed in the
RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER() macro to export the name that is used.

All the RCU tracepoints and functions that reference char pointers do
so with just 'char *' even though they do not modify the contents of
the string itself. This will cause warnings if a const char * is used
in one of these functions.
The RCU tracepoints store the pointer to the string to refer back to them
when the trace output is displayed. As this can be minutes, hours or
even days later, those strings had better be constant.

There are several tracepoints (mostly in RCU), that reference a string
pointer and uses the print format of "%s" to display the string that
exists in the kernel, instead of copying the actual string to the
ring buffer (saves time and ring buffer space).
But this has an issue with userspace tools that read the binary buffers
that has the address of the string but has no access to what the string
itself is. The end result is just output that looks like:
rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeaa 1 0
rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b
rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b
The above is pretty useless when read by the userspace tools. Ideally
we would want something that looks like this:
rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0
rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000
rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0

rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880078961980 func=file_free_rcu 0/5
rcu_dyntick: End 0 1
The trace_printk() which also only stores the address of the string
format instead of recording the string into the buffer itself, exports
the mapping of kernel addresses to format strings via the printk_format
file in the debugfs tracing directory.
The tracepoint strings can use this same method and output the format
to the same file and the userspace tools will be able to decipher
the address without any modification.
The tracepoint strings need its own section to save the strings because
the trace_printk section will cause the trace_printk() buffers to be
allocated if anything exists within the section. trace_printk() is only
used for debugging and should never exist in the kernel, we can not use
the trace_printk sections.
Add a new tracepoint_str section that will also be examined by the output
of the printk_format file.

Commit a82274151a "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c"
added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were
several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also
encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes
the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock.
This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the
module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the
trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer
by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often
which explains why it wasn't caught right away.
Commit a82274151a was marked for stable, which means this must be
sent to stable too.

Change where ftrace is disabled and re-enabled during system
suspend/resume to allow tracing of device driver pm callbacks.
Ftrace will now be turned off when suspend reaches
disable_nonboot_cpus() instead of at the very beginning of system
suspend.
Ftrace was disabled during suspend/resume back in 2008 by
Steven Rostedt as he discovered there was a conflict in the
enable_nonboot_cpus() call (see commit f42ac38 "ftrace: disable
tracing for suspend to ram"). This change preserves his fix by
disabling ftrace, but only at the function where it is known
to cause problems.
The new change allows tracing of the device level code for better
debug.

If the user enables CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and runs the kernel on a machine
with an unstable TSC, it will produce a WARN_ON dump as well as taint
the kernel. This is a bit extreme for a kernel that just enables a
feature but doesn't use it.
The warning should only happen if the user tries to use the feature by
either adding nohz_full to the kernel command line, or by enabling
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL that makes nohz used on all CPUs at boot up. Note,
this second feature should not (yet) be used by distros or anyone that
doesn't care if NO_HZ is used or not.

It is false-positive lockdep report. In this sutiation,
the two "wfc"s of the two work_on_cpu() are different,
they are both on stack. flush_work() can't be deadlock.
To fix this, we need to avoid the lockdep checking in this case,
thus we instroduce a internal __flush_work() which skip the lockdep.

If a ftrace ops is registered with the SAVE_REGS flag set, and there's
already a ops registered to one of its functions but without the
SAVE_REGS flag, there's a small race window where the SAVE_REGS ops gets
added to the list of callbacks to call for that function before the
callback trampoline gets set to save the regs.
The problem is, the function is not currently saving regs, which opens
a small race window where the ops that is expecting regs to be passed
to it, wont. This can cause a crash if the callback were to reference
the regs, as the SAVE_REGS guarantees that regs will be set.
To fix this, we add a check in the loop case where it checks if the ops
has the SAVE_REGS flag set, and if so, it will ignore it if regs is
not set.

After the previous changes trace_array_cpu->trace_cpu and
trace_array->trace_cpu becomes write-only. Remove these members
and kill "struct trace_cpu" as well.
As a side effect this also removes memset(per_cpu_memory, 0).
It was not needed, alloc_percpu() returns zero-filled memory.

Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy.
f_op->open/etc does:
1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private;
struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr;
2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail;
3. do_something(tc);
But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called.
And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by
init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad.
Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even
if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with
the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc
was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the
freed/reused memory.
Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls
trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper,
tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.
The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless
the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or
even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers,
it would be trivial to change them if needed.
This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new
trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations.
Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the
result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock
which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

"This contains two patches, both of which aren't fixes per-se but I
think it'd be better to fast-track them.
One removes bcache_subsys_id which was added without proper review
through the block tree. Fortunately, bcache cgroup code is
unconditionally disabled, so this was never exposed to userland. The
cgroup subsys_id is removed. Kent will remove the affected (disabled)
code through bcache branch.
The other simplifies task_group_path_from_hierarchy(). The function
doesn't currently have in-kernel users but there are external code and
development going on dependent on the function and making the function
available for 3.11 would make things go smoother"

Smart wake-affine is using node-size as the factor currently, but the overhead
of the mask operation is high.
Thus, this patch introduce the 'sd_llc_size' percpu variable, which will record
the highest cache-share domain size, and make it to be the new factor, in order
to reduce the overhead and make it more reasonable.

[ Tidied up the changelog. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
The wake-affine scheduler feature is currently always trying to pull
the wakee close to the waker. In theory this should be beneficial if
the waker's CPU caches hot data for the wakee, and it's also beneficial
in the extreme ping-pong high context switch rate case.
Testing shows it can benefit hackbench up to 15%.
However, the feature is somewhat blind, from which some workloads
such as pgbench suffer. It's also time-consuming algorithmically.
Testing shows it can damage pgbench up to 50% - far more than the
benefit it brings in the best case.
So wake-affine should be smarter and it should realize when to
stop its thankless effort at trying to find a suitable CPU to wake on.
This patch introduces 'wakee_flips', which will be increased each
time the task flips (switches) its wakee target.
So a high 'wakee_flips' value means the task has more than one
wakee, and the bigger the number, the higher the wakeup frequency.
Now when making the decision on whether to pull or not, pay attention to
the wakee with a high 'wakee_flips', pulling such a task may benefit
the wakee. Also imply that the waker will face cruel competition later,
it could be very cruel or very fast depends on the story behind
'wakee_flips', waker therefore suffers.
Furthermore, if waker also has a high 'wakee_flips', that implies that
multiple tasks rely on it, then waker's higher latency will damage all
of them, so pulling wakee seems to be a bad deal.
Thus, when 'waker->wakee_flips / wakee->wakee_flips' becomes
higher and higher, the cost of pulling seems to be worse and worse.
The patch therefore helps the wake-affine feature to stop its pulling
work when:
wakee->wakee_flips > factor &&
waker->wakee_flips > (factor * wakee->wakee_flips)
The 'factor' here is the number of CPUs in the current CPU's NUMA node,
so a bigger node will lead to more pulling since the trial becomes more
severe.
After applying the patch, pgbench shows up to 40% improvements and no regressions.
Tested with 12 cpu x86 server and tip 3.10.0-rc7.

[ Improved the changelog. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
The bad thing about update_h_load(), which computes hierarchical load
factor for task groups, is that it is called for each task group in the
system before every load balancer run, and since rebalance can be
triggered very often, this function can eat really a lot of cpu time if
there are many cpu cgroups in the system.
Although the situation was improved significantly by commit a35b646
('sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup
hierarchies'), the problem still can arise under some kinds of loads,
e.g. when cpus are switching from idle to busy and back very frequently.
For instance, when I start 1000 of processes that wake up every
millisecond on my 8 cpus host, 'top' and 'perf top' show:
Cpu(s): 17.8%us, 24.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 57.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si
Events: 243K cycles
7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule
7.08% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add
6.13% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep
Then if I create 10000 *idle* cpu cgroups (no processes in them), cpu
usage increases significantly although the 'wakers' are still executing
in the root cpu cgroup:
Cpu(s): 19.1%us, 48.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 31.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.7%si
Events: 230K cycles
24.56% [kernel] [k] tg_load_down
5.76% [kernel] [k] __schedule
This happens because this particular kind of load triggers 'new idle'
rebalance very frequently, which requires calling update_h_load(),
which, in turn, calls tg_load_down() for every *idle* cpu cgroup even
though it is absolutely useless, because idle cpu cgroups have no tasks
to pull.
This patch tries to improve the situation by making h_load calculation
proceed only when h_load is really necessary. To achieve this, it
substitutes update_h_load() with update_cfs_rq_h_load(), which computes
h_load only for a given cfs_rq and all its ascendants, and makes the
load balancer call this function whenever it considers if a task should
be pulled, i.e. it moves h_load calculations directly to task_h_load().
For h_load of the same cfs_rq not to be updated multiple times (in case
several tasks in the same cgroup are considered during the same balance
run), the patch keeps the time of the last h_load update for each cfs_rq
and breaks calculation when it finds h_load to be uptodate.
The benefit of it is that h_load is computed only for those cfs_rq's,
which really need it, in particular all idle task groups are skipped.
Although this, in fact, moves h_load calculation under rq lock, it
should not affect latency much, because the amount of work done under rq
lock while trying to pull tasks is limited by sched_nr_migrate.
After the patch applied with the setup described above (1000 wakers in
the root cgroup and 10000 idle cgroups), I get:
Cpu(s): 16.9%us, 24.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 58.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si
Events: 242K cycles

Upon entering the slowpath, we immediately attempt to acquire
the lock by checking if it is already unlocked. If we are lucky
enough that this is the case, then we don't need to deal with
any waiter related logic.
Furthermore any checks for an empty wait_list are unnecessary as
we already know that count is non-negative and hence no one is
waiting for the lock.
Move the count check and xchg calls to be done before any
waiters are setup - including waiter debugging. Upon failure to
acquire the lock, the xchg sets the counter to 0, instead of -1
as it was originally. This can be done here since we set it back
to -1 right at the beginning of the loop so other waiters are
woken up when the lock is released.
When tested on a 8-socket (80 core) system against a vanilla
3.10-rc1 kernel, this patch provides some small performance
benefits (+2-6%). While it could be considered in the noise
level, the average percentages were stable across multiple runs
and no performance regressions were seen. Two big winners, for
small amounts of users (10-100), were the short and compute
workloads had a +19.36% and +%15.76% in jobs per minute.
Also change some break statements to 'goto slowpath', which IMO
makes a little more intuitive to read.

There was a couple of optimizations that should have perf perform a bit
better when accessing trace events.
And some various clean ups. Some of the clean ups are necessary to help
in a fix to a theoretical race between opening a event file and
deleting that event.
