2010-11-18net: Fix duplicate volatile warning.Tetsuo Handa
jiffies is defined as "volatile". extern unsigned long volatile __jiffy_data jiffies; ACCESS_ONCE() uses "volatile". As a result, some compilers warn duplicate `volatile' for ACCESS_ONCE(jiffies).

RCU conversion in IGMP code done in net-next-2.6 raised a race in __bond_resend_igmp_join_requests(). It iterates in_dev->mc_list without appropriate protection (RTNL, or read_lock on in_dev->mc_list_lock). Another cpu might delete an entry while we use it and trigger a fault.

2010-11-18x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routinesSoeren Sandmann Pedersen
The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass 0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing: (a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any (b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack (c) Trace some other task In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just be 0. If it _is_ defined, then - in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so the caller should pass NULL for regs, - in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to dump_trace(), - in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so the caller should pass NULL for regs. Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp. This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs) that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the two versions of dump_stack().

2010-11-18x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modulesmatthieu castet
This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each individual section: 1. Code: RO+X 2. RO data: RO+NX 3. RW data: RW+NX In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access permissions are set right before successful exit from load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right before calling module_free(). By default, the original section layout and access flags are preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y, the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that each page contains only one type of content and will enforce RO/NX for each group of pages. -v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch. -v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also been corrected. -v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y. -v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style. -v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation -v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only -v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro() in ftrace -v8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5 -v9: coding style fixes -v10: more coding style fixes -v11: minor adjustments for -tip -v12: minor adjustments for v2.6.35-rc2-tip -v13: minor adjustments for v2.6.37-rc1-tip Signed-off-by: Siarhei Liakh <sliakh.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Xuxian Jiang <jiang@cs.ncsu.edu> Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Signed-off-by: H.

2010-11-18sched: Introduce hierarchal order on shares update listPaul Turner
Avoid duplicate shares update calls by ensuring children always appear before parents in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list. This allows us to do a single in-order traversal for update_shares(). Since we always enqueue in bottom-up order this reduces to 2 cases: 1) Our parent is already in the list, e.g. root \ b /\ c d* (root->b->c already enqueued) Since d's parent is enqueued we push it to the head of the list, implicitly ahead of b. 2) Our parent does not appear in the list (or we have no parent) In this case we enqueue to the tail of the list, if our parent is subsequently enqueued (bottom-up) it will appear to our right by the same rule.

2010-11-18sched: Fix update_cfs_load() synchronizationPaul Turner
Using cfs_rq->nr_running is not sufficient to synchronize update_cfs_load with the put path since nr_running accounting occurs at deactivation. It's also not safe to make the removal decision based on load_avg as this fails with both high periods and low shares. Resolve this by clipping history after 4 periods without activity. Note: the above will always occur from update_shares() since in the last-task-sleep-case that task will still be cfs_rq->curr when update_cfs_load is called.

2010-11-18sched: Fix load corruption from update_cfs_shares()Paul Turner
As part of enqueue_entity both a new entity weight and its contribution to the queuing cfs_rq / rq are updated. Since update_cfs_shares will only update the queueing weights when the entity is on_rq (which in this case it is not yet), there's a dependency loop here: update_cfs_shares needs account_entity_enqueue to update cfs_rq->load.weight account_entity_enqueue needs the updated weight for the queuing cfs_rq load[*] Fix this and avoid spurious dequeue/enqueues by issuing update_cfs_shares as if we had accounted the enqueue already. This was also resulting in rq->load corruption previously. [*]: this dependency also exists when using the group cfs_rq w/ update_cfs_shares as the weight of the enqueued entity changes without the load being updated.

2010-11-18sched: Simplify cpu-hot-unplug task migrationPeter Zijlstra
While discussing the need for sched_idle_next(), Oleg remarked that since try_to_wake_up() ensures sleeping tasks will end up running on a sane cpu, we can do away with migrate_live_tasks(). If we then extend the existing hack of migrating current from CPU_DYING to migrating the full rq worth of tasks from CPU_DYING, the need for the sched_idle_next() abomination disappears as well, since idle will be the only possible thread left after the migration thread stops. This greatly simplifies the hot-unplug task migration path, as can be seen from the resulting code reduction (and about half the new lines are comments).

2010-11-18perf: Fix owner-list vs exitPeter Zijlstra
Oleg noticed that a perf-fd keeping a reference on the creating task leads to a few funny side effects. There's two different aspects to this: - kernel based perf-events, these should not take out a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible to userspace. - fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless) but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed. Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints. Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.

2010-11-18x86: Add NX protection for kernel dataMatthieu Castet
This patch expands functionality of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to set main (static) kernel data area as NX. The following steps are taken to achieve this: 1.

2010-11-18x86: Fix improper large page preservationmatthieu castet
This patch fixes a bug in try_preserve_large_page() which may result in improper large page preservation and improper application of page attributes to the memory area outside of the original change request. More specifically, the problem manifests itself when set_memory_*() is called for several pages at the beginning of the large page and try_preserve_large_page() erroneously concludes that the change can be applied to whole large page. The fix consists of 3 parts: 1. Addition of "required" protection attributes in static_protections(), so .data and .bss can be guaranteed to stay "RW" 2. static_protections() is now called for every small page within large page to determine compatibility of new protection attributes (instead of just small pages within the requested range). 3. Large page can be preserved only if attribute change is large-page-aligned and covers whole large page. -v1: Try_preserve_large_page() patch for Linux 2.6.34-rc2 -v2: Replaced pfn check with address check for kernel rw-data Signed-off-by: Siarhei Liakh <sliakh.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Xuxian Jiang <jiang@cs.ncsu.edu> Reviewed-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Kees Cook <kees.cook@canonical.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> LKML-Reference: <4CE2F7F3.8030809@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2010-11-18x86: UV: Address interrupt/IO port operation conflictDimitri Sivanich
This patch for SGI UV systems addresses a problem whereby interrupt transactions being looped back from a local IOH, through the hub to a local CPU can (erroneously) conflict with IO port operations and other transactions. To workaound this we set a high bit in the APIC IDs used for interrupts. This bit appears to be ignored by the sockets, but it avoids the conflict in the hub.

2010-11-18x86: Use online node real index in calulate_tbl_offset()Yinghai Lu
Found a NUMA system that doesn't have RAM installed at the first socket which hangs while executing init scripts. bisected it to: | commit 932967202182743c01a2eee4bdfa2c42697bc586 | Author: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> | Date: Wed Oct 20 11:07:03 2010 +0800 | | x86: Spread tlb flush vector between nodes It turns out when first socket is not online it could have cpus on node1 tlb_offset set to bigger than NUM_INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORS. That could affect systems like 4 sockets, but socket 2 doesn't have installed, sockets 3 will get too big tlb_offset. Need to use real online node idx.

2010-11-18x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove all stub function calls from old nmi_watchdogDon Zickus
Now that the bulk of the old nmi_watchdog is gone, remove all the stub variables and hooks associated with it. This touches lots of files mainly because of how the io_apic nmi_watchdog was implemented. Now that the io_apic nmi_watchdog is forever gone, remove all its fingers. Most of this code was not being exercised by virtue of nmi_watchdog != NMI_IO_APIC, so there shouldn't be anything to risky here.

2010-11-18x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove the old nmi_watchdogDon Zickus
Now that we have a new nmi_watchdog that is more generic and sits on top of the perf subsystem, we really do not need the old nmi_watchdog any more. In addition, the old nmi_watchdog doesn't really work if you are using the default clocksource, hpet. The old nmi_watchdog code relied on local apic interrupts to determine if the cpu is still alive. With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false postives. This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any variables and functions calls. The stubs are the same ones used by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.
