2008-12-12tracing/function-graph-tracer: annotate do_IRQ and smp_apic_timer_interruptFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: move most important x86 irq entry-points to a separate subsection Annotate do_IRQ and smp_apic_timer_interrupt to put them into the .irqentry.text subsection. These function will so be recognized as hardirq entrypoints for the function-graph-tracer. We could also annotate other irq entries but the others are far less important but they can be added on request.

2008-12-11[XFS] add a FMODE flag to make XFS invisible I/O less hackyChristoph Hellwig
XFS has a mode called invisble I/O that doesn't update any of the timestamps. It's used for HSM-style applications and exposed through the nasty open by handle ioctl. Instead of doing directly assignment of file operations that set an internal flag for it add a new FMODE_NOCMTIME flag that we can check in the normal file operations. (addition of the generic VFS flag has been ACKed by Al as an interims solution) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy <lachlan@sgi.com>
2008-12-10netns: ip6mr: enable namespace support in ipv6 multicast forwarding codeBenjamin Thery
This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the network namespace where needed in IPv6 multicast forwarding code. This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or mfc6_caches depending on the routines' contexts. Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current netns: * ip6mr_get_route * ip6mr_cache_report * ip6mr_cache_find * ip6mr_cache_unresolved * mif6_add/mif6_delete * ip6mr_mfc_add/ip6mr_mfc_delete * ip6mr_reg_vif All the IPv6 multicast forwarding variables moved to struct netns_ipv6 by the previous patches are now referenced in the correct namespace. Changelog: ========== * Take into account the net associated to mfc6_cache when matching entries in mfc_unres_queue list. * Call mroute_clean_tables() in ip6mr_net_exit() to free memory allocated per-namespace. * Call dev_net_set() in ip6mr_reg_vif() to initialize dev->nd_net correctly.

2008-12-10netns: ip6mr: store netns in struct mfc6_cacheBenjamin Thery
This patch stores into struct mfc6_cache the network namespace each mfc6_cache belongs to. The new member is mfc6_net. mfc6_net is assigned at cache allocation and doesn't change during the rest of the cache entry life. This will help to retrieve the current netns around the IPv6 multicast forwarding code. At the moment, all mfc6_cache are allocated in init_net.

Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked to my 966c8c12dc9e77f931e2281ba25d2f0244b06949 sprint_symbol(): use less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() - kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was beyond the end of page provided. The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.

2008-12-10revert "percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()"Andrew Morton
Revert commit 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354 Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400 percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set() Before this patch we had the following: percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before returning. After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality. Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus, without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from those other CPUS. This patch reverts 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354. This means that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but percpu_counter_sum() does not. Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well. Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics. Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read() will return a close value. After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result. If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after e8ced39d5e8911c662d4d69a342b9d053eaaac4e was merged, and which depends upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

2008-12-09netpoll: fix race on poll_list resulting in garbage entryNeil Horman
A few months back a race was discused between the netpoll napi service path, and the fast path through net_rx_action: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/16/345470 A patch was submitted for that bug, but I think we missed a case. Consider the following scenario: INITIAL STATE CPU0 has one napi_struct A on its poll_list CPU1 is calling netpoll_send_skb and needs to call poll_napi on the same napi_struct A that CPU0 has on its list CPU0 CPU1 net_rx_action poll_napi !list_empty (returns true) locks poll_lock for A poll_one_napi napi->poll netif_rx_complete __napi_complete (removes A from poll_list) list_entry(list->next) In the above scenario, net_rx_action assumes that the per-cpu poll_list is exclusive to that cpu. netpoll of course violates that, and because the netpoll path can dequeue from the poll list, its possible for CPU0 to detect a non-empty list at the top of the while loop in net_rx_action, but have it become empty by the time it calls list_entry. Since the poll_list isn't surrounded by any other structure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is garbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage is. Given that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks arround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best solution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee that the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu. To do this I've implemented the patch below. It adds an additional bit to the state field in the napi_struct. When executing napi->poll from the netpoll_path, this bit will be set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not remove the napi_struct from the poll_list. That work will be saved for the next iteration of net_rx_action. I've tested this and it seems to work well. About the biggest drawback I can see to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through net_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the netpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call to net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from the poll_list. However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given that the alternative is a crash. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

AUDIT_TTY records currently log all data read by processes marked for TTY input auditing, even if the data was "pushed back" using the TIOCSTI ioctl, not typed by the user. This patch records all TIOCSTI calls to disambiguate the input. It generates one audit message per character pushed back; considering TIOCSTI is used very rarely, this simple solution is probably good enough. (The only program I could find that uses TIOCSTI is mailx/nail in "header editing" mode, e.g. using the ~h escape. mailx is used very rarely, and the escapes are used even rarer.)

Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing. kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c: Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer: __kernel_text_address() To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

2008-12-08sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changesYinghai Lu
Impact: new feature Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case. To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of irq_desc pointers. When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc, this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls request_irq()). This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

2008-12-08dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctlGerrit Renker
This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack Vector feature, as it now is handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation (i.e. when CCID-2 is enabled, Ack Vectors are automatically enabled as per RFC 4341, 4.). Using a sysctl in parallel to this implementation would open the door to crashes, since much of the code relies on tests of the boolean minisock / sysctl variable. Thus, this patch replaces all tests of type if (dccp_msk(sk)->dccpms_send_ack_vector) /* ... */ with if (dp->dccps_hc_rx_ackvec != NULL) /* ... */ The dccps_hc_rx_ackvec is allocated by the dccp_hdlr_ackvec() when feature negotiation concluded that Ack Vectors are to be used on the half-connection. Otherwise, it is NULL (due to dccp_init_sock/dccp_create_openreq_child), so that the test is a valid one. The activation handler for Ack Vectors is called as soon as the feature negotiation has concluded at the * server when the Ack marking the transition RESPOND => OPEN arrives; * client after it has sent its ACK, marking the transition REQUEST => PARTOPEN. Adding the sequence number of the Response packet to the Ack Vector has been removed, since (a) connection establishment implies that the Response has been received; (b) the CCIDs only look at packets received in the (PART)OPEN state, i.e. this entry will always be ignored; (c) it can not be used for anything useful - to detect loss for instance, only packets received after the loss can serve as pseudo-dupacks. There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails. I removed this after finding out that: * the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier, * this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets, * so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

2008-12-08dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count featureGerrit Renker
Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now: * for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts; * for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths. Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they are needed (e.g. in CCID-3). This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking), hence this form of support is redundant. At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature uses the default value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

2008-12-08dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interfaceGerrit Renker
The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of feature negotiation may be something different. The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs. Also removed are the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the switch "rx <-> non-rx" is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler is the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

2008-12-05[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod.Matthew Garrett
p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse. It pretends to be a CPU frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with wait-states. The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency' p4-clockmod is saving power. This isn't the case, as workloads running slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states. However p4-clockmod does have a purpose. It can prevent overheating. Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI. This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.

2008-12-04[PATCH 1/2] kill FMODE_NDELAY_NOWChristoph Hellwig
Update FMODE_NDELAY before each ioctl call so that we can kill the magic FMODE_NDELAY_NOW. It would be even better to do this directly in setfl(), but for that we'd need to have FMODE_NDELAY for all files, not just block special files.

Impact: introduce new lockdep API Allow to change a held lock's class. Basically the same as the existing code to change a subclass therefore reuse all that.

2008-12-04ftrace: graph of a single functionSteven Rostedt
This patch adds the file: /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function which can be used along with the function graph tracer. When this file is empty, the function graph tracer will act as usual. When the file has a function in it, the function graph tracer will only trace that function. For example: # echo blk_unplug > /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debugfs/tracing/trace [...] ------------------------------------------ | 2) make-19003 => kjournald-2219 ------------------------------------------ 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) | dm_unplug_all() { 2) | dm_get_table() { 2) 1.381 us | _read_lock(); 2) 0.911 us | dm_table_get(); 2) 1. 76 us | _read_unlock(); 2) + 12.912 us | } 2) | dm_table_unplug_all() { 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) 0.778 us | generic_unplug_device(); 2) 2.409 us | } 2) 5.992 us | } 2) 0.813 us | dm_table_put(); 2) + 29. 90 us | } 2) + 34.532 us | } You can add up to 32 functions into this file. Currently we limit it to 32, but this may change with later improvements. To add another function, use the append '>>': # echo sys_read >> /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function blk_unplug sys_read Using the '>' will clear out the function and write anew: # echo sys_write > /debug/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debug/tracing/set_graph_function sys_write Note, if you have function graph running while doing this, the small time between clearing it and updating it will cause the graph to record all functions. This should not be an issue because after it sets the filter, only those functions will be recorded from then on. If you need to only record a particular function then set this file first before starting the function graph tracer. In the future this side effect may be corrected. The set_graph_function file is similar to the set_ftrace_filter but it does not take wild cards nor does it allow for more than one function to be set with a single write. There is no technical reason why this is the case, I just do not have the time yet to implement that. Note, dynamic ftrace must be enabled for this to appear because it uses the dynamic ftrace records to match the name to the mcount call sites.

2008-12-03atm: 32-bit ioctl compatibilityDavid Woodhouse
We lack compat ioctl support through most of the ATM code. This patch deals with most of it, and I can now at least use BR2684 and PPPoATM with 32-bit userspace. I haven't added a .compat_ioctl method to struct atm_ioctl, because AFAICT none of the current users need any conversion -- so we can just call the ->ioctl() method in every case. I looked at br2684, clip, lec, mpc, pppoatm and atmtcp. In svc_compat_ioctl() the only mangling which is needed is to change COMPAT_ATM_ADDPARTY to ATM_ADDPARTY. Although it's defined as _IOW('a', ATMIOC_SPECIAL+4,struct atm_iobuf) it doesn't actually _take_ a struct atm_iobuf as an argument -- it takes a struct sockaddr_atmsvc, which _is_ the same between 32-bit and 64-bit code, so doesn't need conversion. Almost all of vcc_ioctl() would have been identical, so I converted that into a core do_vcc_ioctl() function with an 'int compat' argument. I've done the same with atm_dev_ioctl(), where there _are_ a few differences, but still it's relatively contained and there would otherwise have been a lot of duplication. I haven't done any of the actual device-specific ioctls, although I've added a compat_ioctl method to struct atmdev_ops.
