2011-12-12cgroup: introduce cgroup_taskset and use it in subsys->can_attach(), ↵Tejun Heo
cancel_attach() and attach() Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task methods. This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys methods. Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so that all methods have access to all information. Conversions in this patchset are identical and don't introduce any behavior change. -v2: documentation updated as per Paul Menage's suggestion.

2011-12-12tcp buffer limitation: per-cgroup limitGlauber Costa
This patch uses the "tcp.limit_in_bytes" field of the kmem_cgroup to effectively control the amount of kernel memory pinned by a cgroup. This value is ignored in the root cgroup, and in all others, caps the value specified by the admin in the net namespaces' view of tcp_sysctl_mem. If namespaces are being used, the admin is allowed to set a value bigger than cgroup's maximum, the same way it is allowed to set pretty much unlimited values in a real box.

2011-12-12socket: initial cgroup code.Glauber Costa
The goal of this work is to move the memory pressure tcp controls to a cgroup, instead of just relying on global conditions. To avoid excessive overhead in the network fast paths, the code that accounts allocated memory to a cgroup is hidden inside a static_branch(). This branch is patched out until the first non-root cgroup is created. So when nobody is using cgroups, even if it is mounted, no significant performance penalty should be seen. This patch handles the generic part of the code, and has nothing tcp-specific.

2011-12-11rcu: Add rcutorture CPU-hotplug capabilityPaul E. McKenney
Running CPU-hotplug operations concurrently with rcutorture has historically been a good way to find bugs in both RCU and CPU hotplug. This commit therefore adds an rcutorture module parameter called "onoff_interval" that causes a randomly selected CPU-hotplug operation to be executed at the specified interval, in seconds. The default value of "onoff_interval" is zero, which disables rcutorture-instigated CPU-hotplug operations. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-12-11rcu: Add rcutorture system-shutdown capabilityPaul E. McKenney
Although it is easy to run rcutorture tests under KVM, there is currently no nice way to run such a test for a fixed time period, collect all of the rcutorture data, and then shut the system down cleanly. This commit therefore adds an rcutorture module parameter named "shutdown_secs" that specified the run duration in seconds, after which rcutorture terminates the test and powers the system down. The default value for "shutdown_secs" is zero, which disables shutdown. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2011-12-11rcu: Document failing tick as cause of RCU CPU stall warningPaul E. McKenney
One of lclaudio's systems was seeing RCU CPU stall warnings from idle. These turned out to be caused by a bug that stopped scheduling-clock tick interrupts from being sent to a given CPU for several hundred seconds. This commit therefore updates the documentation to call this out as a possible cause for RCU CPU stall warnings. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-12-11rcu: Track idleness independent of idle tasksPaul E. McKenney
Earlier versions of RCU used the scheduling-clock tick to detect idleness by checking for the idle task, but handled idleness differently for CONFIG_NO_HZ=y. But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side critical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing. A more fine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required. This commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service, so that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is always invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration. Similarly, rcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked at the end of an idle-loop iteration. This allows the idle task to use RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to specify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used. Because some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks to RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that the irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts. This patch therefore expands the ->dynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits and uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions and interrupt entry/exit transitions. It is presumed that userspace upcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution (though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall). The counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which avoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating. Overflow is avoided by the 64-bitness of the ->dyntick_nesting counter. This commit also adds warnings if a non-idle task asks RCU to enter idle state (and these checks will need some adjustment before applying Frederic's OS-jitter patches (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/246). In addition, validation of ->dynticks and ->dynticks_nesting is added. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-12-07oprofile, s390: Add event interface to the System z hardware sampling moduleAndreas Krebbel
With this patch the OProfile Basic Mode Sampling support for System z is enhanced with a counter file system. That way hardware sampling can be configured using the user space tools with only little modifications. With the patch by default new cpu_types (s390/z10, s390/z196) are returned in order to indicate that we are running a CPU which provides the hardware sampling facility. Existing user space tools will complain about an unknown cpu type. In order to be compatible with existing user space tools the `cpu_type' module parameter has been added. Setting the parameter to `timer' will force the module to return `timer' as cpu_type. The module will still try to use hardware sampling if available and the hwsampling virtual filesystem will be also be available for configuration. So this has a different effect than using the generic oprofile module parameter `timer=1'. If the basic mode sampling is enabled on the machine and the cpu_type=timer parameter is not used the kernel module will provide the following virtual filesystem: /dev/oprofile/0/enabled /dev/oprofile/0/event /dev/oprofile/0/count /dev/oprofile/0/unit_mask /dev/oprofile/0/kernel /dev/oprofile/0/user In the counter file system only the values of 'enabled', 'count', 'kernel', and 'user' are evaluated by the kernel module. Everything else must contain fixed values. The 'event' value only supports a single event - HWSAMPLING with value 0. The 'count' value specifies the hardware sampling rate as it is passed to the CPU measurement facility. The 'kernel' and 'user' flags can now be used to filter for samples when using hardware sampling. Additionally also the following file will be created: /dev/oprofile/timer/enabled This will always be the inverted value of /dev/oprofile/0/enabled. 0 is not accepted without hardware sampling.

2011-12-06ipv4:correct description for tcp_max_syn_backlogPeter Pan(潘卫平)
Since commit c5ed63d66f24(tcp: fix three tcp sysctls tuning), sysctl_max_syn_backlog is determined by tcp_hashinfo->ehash_mask, and the minimal value is 128, and it will increase in proportion to the memory of machine. The original description for tcp_max_syn_backlog and sysctl_max_syn_backlog are out of date.
