On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have

have a

in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no

The conflicting commit for
move-kconfiginstrumentation-to-arch-kconfig-and-init-kconfig.patch
is the ARM fix from Linus :
commit 38ad9aebe7
He just seemed to agree that my approach (just putting the missing ARM
config options in arch/arm/Kconfig) works too. The main advantage it has
is that it is smaller, does not need a cleanup in the future and does
not break the following patches unnecessarily.
It's just been discussed here
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/15/267
However, Linus might prefer to stay with his own patch and I would
totally understand it that late in the release cycle. Therefore I submit
this for the next release cycle.

kernel/ksysfs.c seems to be a random dumping group for misc globals
that the rest of the tree depend on. This has caused problems with
exports in the past when sysfs is disabled, which can already be
observed in commit-id 51107301b6.
The latest one is the kernel_kobj usage, which presently results in:
fs/built-in.o: In function `debugfs_init':
inode.c:(.init.text+0xc34): undefined reference to `kernel_kobj'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
kernel/ksysfs.c itself at this point only contains globals and some
basic sysfs initialization, the sysfs initialization code is optimized
out when we build with sysfs disabled. Given that, it's easier to just
build in unconditionally, rather than trying to find some other random
place to dump and initialize the globals.
Additionally, the current trend seems to be decoupling of kobjects from
sysfs, in which case it still makes sense to perform the kernel_kobj
initialization that happens here even if sysfs is disabled, as
lib/kobject.o is built-in unconditionally.

In order to fix APM emulation it is necessary to enable apm-emulation

notifiers. However, this will cause the systems using APM emulation
to lock up between X being needed to switch away from the VT and X
already waiting for resume in the APM ioctl.
This patch moves the console switch (if enabled) before the suspend
notification (and after the resume notification) to avoid this issue.

Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
On ACPI systems the target state set by acpi_pm_set_target() is
reset by acpi_pm_finish(), but that need not be called if the
suspend fails. All platforms that use the .set_target() global
suspend callback are affected by analogous issues.
For this reason, we need an additional global suspend callback that
will reset the target state regardless of whether or not the suspend
is successful. Also, it is reasonable to rename the .set_target()
callback, since it will be used for a different purpose on ACPI
systems (due to ACPI 1.0x code ordering requirements).
Introduce the global suspend callback .end() to be executed at the
end of the suspend sequence and rename the .set_target() global
suspend callback to .begin().

control methods(*), the disabling of nonboot CPUs and suspending of
platform/system devices
(*) - the platform global control methods are only available on ACPI systems
and are only tested if the hibernation mode is set to "platform"
Then, if a hibernation is started by normal means, the hibernation core will
perform its normal operations up to the point indicated by given test level.
Next, it will wait for 5 seconds and carry out the resume operations needed to
transition the system back to the fully functional state.

To allow the implementation of optimized rw-locks in user space, glibc
needs a possibility to select waiters for wakeup depending on a bitset
mask.
This requires two new futex OPs: FUTEX_WAIT_BITS and FUTEX_WAKE_BITS
These OPs are basically the same as FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE plus an
additional argument - a bitset. Further the FUTEX_WAIT_BITS OP is
expecting an absolute timeout value instead of the relative one, which
is used for the FUTEX_WAIT OP.
FUTEX_WAIT_BITS calls into the kernel with a bitset. The bitset is
stored in the futex_q structure, which is used to enqueue the waiter
into the hashed futex waitqueue.
FUTEX_WAKE_BITS also calls into the kernel with a bitset. The wakeup
function logically ANDs the bitset with the bitset stored in each
waiters futex_q structure. If the result is zero (i.e. none of the set
bits in the bitsets is matching), then the waiter is not woken up. If
the result is not zero (i.e. one of the set bits in the bitsets is
matching), then the waiter is woken.
The bitset provided by the caller must be non zero. In case the
provided bitset is zero the kernel returns EINVAL.
Internaly the new OPs are only extensions to the existing FUTEX_WAIT
and FUTEX_WAKE functions. The existing OPs hand a bitset with all bits
set into the futex_wait() and futex_wake() functions.

The WARN_ON() in the fixup return path of futex_lock_pi() can
trigger with false positives.
The following scenario happens:
t1 holds the futex and t2 and t3 are blocked on the kernel side rt_mutex.
t1 releases the futex (and the rt_mutex) and assigned t2 to be the next
owner of the futex.
t2 is interrupted and returns w/o acquiring the rt_mutex, before t1 can
release the rtmutex.
t1 releases the rtmutex and t3 becomes the pending owner of the rtmutex.
t2 notices that it is the designated owner (user space variable) and
fails to acquire the rt_mutex via trylock, because it is not allowed to
steal the rt_mutex from t3. Now it looks at the rt_mutex pending owner (t3)
and assigns the futex and the pi_state to it.
During the fixup t4 steals the rtmutex from t3.
t2 returns from the fixup and the owner of the rt_mutex has changed from
t3 to t4.
There is no need to do another round of fixups from t2. The important
part (t2 is not returning as the user space visible owner) is
done. The further fixups are done, before either t3 or t4 return to
user space.
For the user space it is not relevant which task (t3 or t4) is the real
owner, as long as those are both in the kernel, which is guaranteed by
the serialization of the hash bucket lock. Both tasks (which ever returns
first to userspace - t4 because it locked the rt_mutex or t3 due to a signal)
are going through the lock_futex_pi() return path where the ownership is
fixed before the return to user space.

The recent UDP patch exposed this bug in the audit code. It
was calling pskb_expand_head without increasing skb->truesize.
The caller of pskb_expand_head needs to do so because that function
is designed to be called in places where truesize is already fixed
and therefore it doesn't update its value.
Because the audit system is using it in a place where the truesize
has not yet been fixed, it needs to update its value manually.

The reason why we are getting better wakeup latencies for
!FAIR_USER_SCHED is because of this snippet of code in place_entity():
if (!initial) {
/* sleeps upto a single latency don't count. */
if (sched_feat(NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS) && entity_is_task(se))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
vruntime -= sysctl_sched_latency;
/* ensure we never gain time by being placed backwards. */
vruntime = max_vruntime(se->vruntime, vruntime);
}
NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS feature gives credit for sleeping only to tasks and
not group-level entities. With the patch attached, I could see that
wakeup latencies with FAIR_USER_SCHED are restored to the same level as
!FAIR_USER_SCHED.

Here is a quick and naive smoke test for kprobes. This is intended to
just verify if some unrelated change broke the *probes subsystem. It is
self contained, architecture agnostic and isn't of any great use by itself.
This needs to be built in the kernel and runs a basic set of tests to
verify if kprobes, jprobes and kretprobes run fine on the kernel. In case
of an error, it'll print out a message with a "BUG" prefix.
This is a start; we intend to add more tests to this bucket over time.

Unlike oopses, WARN_ON() currently does't print the loaded modules list.
This makes it harder to take action on certain bug reports. For example,
recently there were a set of WARN_ON()s reported in the mac80211 stack,
which were just signalling a driver bug. It takes then anther round trip
to the bug reporter (if he responds at all) to find out which driver
is at fault.
Another issue is that, unlike oopses, WARN_ON() doesn't currently printk
the helpful "cut here" line, nor the "end of trace" marker.

I recently noticed on one of my boxes that when synched with an NTP
server, the drift value reported for the system was ~283ppm. While in
some cases, clock hardware can be that bad, it struck me as unusual as
the system was using the acpi_pm clocksource, which is one of the more
trustworthy and accurate clocksources on x86 hardware.
I brought up another system and let it sync to the same NTP server, and
I noticed a similar 280some ppm drift.
In looking at the code, I found that the acpi_pm's constant frequency
was being computed correctly at boot-up, however once the system was up,
even without the ntp daemon running, the clocksource's frequency was
being modified by the clocksource_adjust() function.
Digging deeper, I realized that in the code that keeps track of how much
the clocksource is skewing from the ntp desired time, we were using
different lengths to establish how long an time interval was.
The clocksource was being setup with the following interval:
NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH = NSEC_PER_SEC/NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ
While the ntp code was using the tick_length_base value:
tick_length_base ~= (tick_usec * NSEC_PER_USEC * USER_HZ)
/NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ
The subtle difference is:
(tick_usec * NSEC_PER_USEC * USER_HZ) != NSEC_PER_SEC
This difference in calculation was causing the clocksource correction
code to apply a correction factor to the clocksource so the two
intervals were the same, however this results in the actual frequency of
the clocksource to be made incorrect. I believe this difference would
affect all clocksources, although to differing degrees depending on the
clocksource resolution.
The issue was introduced when my HZ free ntp patch landed in 2.6.21-rc1,
so my apologies for the mistake, and for not noticing it until now.
The following patch, corrects the clocksource's initialization code so
it uses the same interval length as the code in ntp.c. After applying
this patch, the drift value for the same system went from ~283ppm to
only 2.635ppm.
I believe this patch to be good, however it does affect all arches and
I've only tested on x86, so some caution is advised. I do think it would
be a likely candidate for a stable 2.6.24.x release.
Any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated.

sysctl_head_next is updated to walk through the list of lists.

for each component.
This patch was originally written by Olaf Kirch and
brought to my attention and reworked some by Olaf Hering.
I have changed a few additional things so the bugs are mine.
After converting all of the easy callers Olaf Hering observed
allyesconfig ARCH=i386, the patch reduces the final binary size by 9369 bytes.

Right now, the linux kernel (with scheduler statistics enabled) keeps track
of the maximum time a process is waiting to be scheduled. While the maximum
is a very useful metric, tracking average and total is equally useful
(at least for latencytop) to figure out the accumulated effect of scheduler
delays. The accumulated effect is important to judge the performance impact
of scheduler tuning/behavior.

looking at it one more time:
(1) it looks to me that there is no need to call
sched_rt_ratio_exceeded() from pick_next_rt_entity()
- [ for CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED ] queues with rt_rq->rt_throttled are
not within this 'tree-like hierarchy' (or whatever we should call it
:-)
- there is also no need to re-check 'rt_rq->rt_time > ratio' at this
point as 'rt_rq->rt_time' couldn't have been increased since the last
call to update_curr_rt() (which obviously calls
sched_rt_ratio_esceeded())
well, it might be that 'ratio' for this rt_rq has been re-configured
(and the period over which this rt_rq was active has not yet been
finished)... but I don't think we should really take this into
account.
(2) now pick_next_rt_entity() must never return NULL, so let's change
pick_next_task_rt() accordingly.

Based on a suggestion from Andi:
In various cases, the unload of a module may leave some bad state around
that causes a kernel crash AFTER a module is unloaded; and it's then hard
to find which module caused that.
This patch tracks the last unloaded module, and prints this as part of the
module list in the oops trace.
Right now, only the last 1 module is tracked; I expect that this is enough
for the vast majority of cases where this information matters; if it turns
out that tracking more is important, we can always extend it to that.

It's rather common that an oops/WARN_ON/BUG happens during the load or
unload of a module. Unfortunatly, it's not always easy to see directly
which module is being loaded/unloaded from the oops itself. Worse,
it's not even always possible to ask the bug reporter, since there
are so many components (udev etc) that auto-load modules that there's
a good chance that even the reporter doesn't know which module this is.
This patch extends the existing "show if it's tainting" print code,
which is used as part of printing the modules in the oops/BUG/WARN_ON
to include a "+" for "being loaded" and a "-" for "being unloaded".
As a result this extension, the "taint_flags()" function gets renamed to
"module_flags()" (and takes a module struct as argument, not a taint
flags int).

Extend group scheduling to also cover the realtime classes. It uses the time
limiting introduced by the previous patch to allow multiple realtime groups.
The hard time limit is required to keep behaviour deterministic.
The algorithms used make the realtime scheduler O(tg), linear scaling wrt the
number of task groups. This is the worst case behaviour I can't seem to get out
of, the avg. case of the algorithms can be improved, I focused on correctness
and worst case.

Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick.
The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice
level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair'
by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to
minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on.
The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency.
Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the
sched_latency period is important.

This patch implements a new version of RCU which allows its read-side
critical sections to be preempted. It uses a set of counter pairs
to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them
when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details
of this implementation can be found in this paper -
http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf
and the article-
http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/
This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and
meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of
RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU
readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper).
This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations
and can be switched to at compiler.
Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.
