When POOL_DISASSOCIATED is cleared, the running worker's local CPU should
be the same as pool->cpu without any exception even during cpu-hotplug.
This patch changes "(proposition_A && proposition_B && proposition_C)"
to "(proposition_B && proposition_C)", so if the old compound
proposition is true, the new one must be true too. so this won't hide
any possible bug which can be hit by old test.
tj: Minor description update and dropped the obvious comment.

a9ab775bcadf ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of workers
from CPU_ONLINE") moved pool locking into rebind_workers() but left
"pool->flags &= ~POOL_DISASSOCIATED" in workqueue_cpu_up_callback().
There is nothing necessarily wrong with it, but there is no benefit
either. Let's move it into rebind_workers() and achieve the following
benefits:
1) better readability, POOL_DISASSOCIATED is cleared in rebind_workers()
as expected.
2) we can guarantee that, when POOL_DISASSOCIATED is clear, the
running workers of the pool are on the local CPU (pool->cpu).

Writing to either "cpuset.cpus" or "cpuset.mems" file flushes
cpuset_hotplug_work so that cpu or memory hotunplug doesn't end up
migrating tasks off a cpuset after new resources are added to it.
As cpuset_hotplug_work calls into cgroup core via
cgroup_transfer_tasks(), this flushing adds the dependency to cgroup
core locking from cpuset_write_resmak(). This used to be okay because
cgroup interface files were protected by a different mutex; however,
8353da1f91f1 ("cgroup: remove cgroup_tree_mutex") simplified the
cgroup core locking and this dependency became a deadlock hazard -
cgroup file removal performed under cgroup core lock tries to drain
on-going file operation which is trying to flush cpuset_hotplug_work
blocked on the same cgroup core lock.
The locking simplification was done because kernfs added an a lot
easier way to deal with circular dependencies involving kernfs active
protection. Let's use the same strategy in cpuset and break active
protection in cpuset_write_resmask(). While it isn't the prettiest,
this is a very rare, likely unique, situation which also goes away on
the unified hierarchy.
The commands to trigger the deadlock warning without the patch and the
lockdep output follow.

This can be used in virtual networking applications, and
may have other uses as well. The option is disabled by
default.
A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and
hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or
virtual machines. With proper use of ip rules, routing tables,
veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces,
and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses,
it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple
hosts attached. The host interfaces can act as IPv6 systems,
with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers. With the
option provided in this patch enabled, those hosts can now properly
obtain IPv6 addresses from the radvd.

There's several locations in the kernel that open code the calculation
of the next location in the trace_seq buffer. This is usually done with
p->buffer + p->len
Instead of having this open coded, supply a helper function in the
header to do it for them. This function is called trace_seq_buffer_ptr().

Currently trace_seq_putmem_hex() can only take as a parameter a pointer
to something that is 8 bytes or less, otherwise it will overflow the
buffer. This is protected by a macro that encompasses the call to
trace_seq_putmem_hex() that has a BUILD_BUG_ON() for the variable before
it is passed in. This is not very robust and if trace_seq_putmem_hex() ever
gets used outside that macro it will cause issues.
Instead of only being able to produce a hex output of memory that is for
a single word, change it to be more robust and allow any size input.

For using trace_seq_*() functions in NMI context, I posted a patch to move
it to the lib/ directory. This caused Andrew Morton to take a look at the code.
He went through and gave a lot of comments about missing kernel doc,
inconsistent types for the save variable, mix match of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
and EXPORT_SYMBOL() as well as missing EXPORT_SYMBOL*()s. There were
a few comments about the way variables were being compared (int vs uint).
All these were good review comments and should be implemented regardless of
if trace_seq.c should be moved to lib/ or not.

The trace_seq_*() functions are a nice utility that allows users to manipulate
buffers with printf() like formats. It has its own trace_seq.h header in
include/linux and should be in its own file. Being tied with trace_output.c
is rather awkward.

Function graph tracing is a bit different than the function tracers, as
it is processed after either the ftrace_caller or ftrace_regs_caller
and we only have one place to modify the jump to ftrace_graph_caller,
the jump needs to happen after the restore of registeres.
The function graph tracer is dependent on the function tracer, where
even if the function graph tracing is going on by itself, the save and
restore of registers is still done for function tracing regardless of
if function tracing is happening, before it calls the function graph
code.
If there's no function tracing happening, it is possible to just call
the function graph tracer directly, and avoid the wasted effort to save
and restore regs for function tracing.
This requires adding new flags to the dyn_ftrace records:
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP_EN
The first is set if the count for the record is one, and the ftrace_ops
associated to that record has its own trampoline. That way the mcount code
can call that trampoline directly.
In the future, trampolines can be added to arbitrary ftrace_ops, where you
can have two or more ftrace_ops registered to ftrace (like kprobes and perf)
and if they are not tracing the same functions, then instead of doing a
loop to check all registered ftrace_ops against their hashes, just call the
ftrace_ops trampoline directly, which would call the registered ftrace_ops
function directly.
Without this patch perf showed:
0.05% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_caller
0.05% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] arch_local_irq_save
0.05% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_sched_clock

See that the ftrace_caller took up more time than the ftrace_graph_caller
did.

The usage of uprobe_buffer_enable() added by dcad1a20 is very wrong,
1. uprobe_buffer_enable() and uprobe_buffer_disable() are not balanced,
_enable() should be called only if !enabled.
2. If uprobe_buffer_enable() fails probe_event_enable() should clear
tp.flags and free event_file_link.
3. If uprobe_register() fails it should do uprobe_buffer_disable().

uprobe_dispatcher()
I do not know why dd9fa555d7bb "tracing/uprobes: Move argument fetching

wrong.
OK, perhaps it makes sense to avoid store_trace_args() if the tracee is
nacked by uprobe_perf_filter(). But then we should kill the same code
in uprobe_perf_func() and unify the TRACE/PROFILE filtering (we need to
do this anyway to mix perf/ftrace). Until then this code actually adds
the pessimization because uprobe_perf_filter() will be called twice and
return T in likely case.

Add WARN_ON's into uprobe_unregister() and uprobe_apply() to ensure
that nobody tries to play with the dead uprobe/consumer. This helps
to catch the bugs like the one fixed by the previous patch.
In the longer term we should fix this poorly designed interface.
uprobe_register() should return "struct uprobe *" which should be
passed to apply/unregister. Plus other semantic changes, see the

This reverts commit 43fe98913c9f67e3b523615ee3316f9520a623e0.
This patch is very wrong. Firstly, this change leads to unbalanced
uprobe_unregister(). Just for example,
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
# echo 1 >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe_libc/enable
# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall whatever
after that uprobe is dead (unregistered) but the user of ftrace/perf
can't know this, and it looks as if nobody hits this probe.
This would be easy to fix, but there are other reasons why it is not
simple to mix ftrace and perf. If nothing else, they can't share the
same ->consumer.filter. This is fixable too, but probably we need to
fix the poorly designed uprobe_register() interface first. At least
"register" and "apply" should be clearly separated.

We've converted cgroup to kernfs so cgroup won't be intertwined with
vfs objects and locking, but there are dark areas.
Run two instances of this script concurrently:
for ((; ;))
{
mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup
umount /cgroup
}
After a while, I saw two mount processes were stuck at retrying, because
they were waiting for a subsystem to become free, but the root associated
with this subsystem never got freed.
This can happen, if thread A is in the process of killing superblock but
hasn't called percpu_ref_kill(), and at this time thread B is mounting
the same cgroup root and finds the root in the root list and performs
percpu_ref_try_get().
To fix this, we try to increase both the refcnt of the superblock and the
percpu refcnt of cgroup root.
v2:
- we should try to get both the superblock refcnt and cgroup_root refcnt,
because cgroup_root may have no superblock assosiated with it.
- adjust/add comments.

It's because the cgroupfs_root of the first mount was under destruction

When registering a function callback for the function tracer, the ops
can specify if it wants to save full regs (like an interrupt would)
for each function that it traces, or if it does not care about regs
and just wants to have the fastest return possible.
Once a ops has registered a function, if other ops register that
function they all will receive the regs too. That's because it does
the work once, it does it for everyone.
Now if the ops wanting regs unregisters the function so that there's
only ops left that do not care about regs, those ops will still
continue getting regs and going through the work for it on that
function. This is because the disabling of the rec counter only
sees the ops registered, and does not see the ops that are still
attached, and does not know if the current ops that are still attached
want regs or not. To play it safe, it just keeps regs being processed
until no function is registered anymore.
Instead of doing that, check the ops that are still registered for that
function and if none want regs for it anymore, then disable the
processing of regs.

Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by
freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed.
While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles.
* It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without
going through re-allocation.
* In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref
count with static percpu variables.
* We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths -
percpu_ref_cancel_init().
This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in
percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a
generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit(). percpu_ref_destroy()
is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while
"exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of
percpu_ref_init().
All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke
percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are
added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.

The cause is that cpuset_mems_allowed() try to take
mutex_lock(&callback_mutex) under the rcu_read_lock(which was hold in
__mpol_dup()). And in cpuset_mems_allowed(), the access to cpuset is
under rcu_read_lock, so in __mpol_dup, we can reduce the rcu_read_lock
protection region to protect the access to cpuset only in
current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(). So that we can avoid this bug.
This patch is a temporary solution that just addresses the bug
mentioned above, can not fix the long-standing issue about cpuset.mems
rebinding on fork():
"When the forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes
->mems_allowed) and it races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound
in update_tasks_nodemask() then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get
updated. And the child task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the
cpuset's nodemask changes before the child has been added to the
cgroup's tasklist."

Pull tracing cleanups and fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This includes three patches from Oleg Nesterov. The first is a fix to
a race condition that happens between enabling/disabling syscall
tracepoints and new process creations (the check to go into the ptrace
path for a process can be set when it shouldn't, or not set when it
should). Not a major bug but one that should be fixed and even
applied to stable.
The other two patches are cleanup/fixes that are not that critical,
but for an -rc1 release would be nice to have. They both deal with
syscall tracepoints.
It also includes a patch to introduce a new macro for the
TRACE_EVENT() format called __field_struct(). Originally, __field()
was used to record any variable into a trace event, but with the
addition of setting the "is signed" attribute, the check causes
anything but a primitive variable to fail to compile. That is,
structs and unions can't be used as they once were. When the "is
signed" check was introduce there were only primitive variables being
recorded. But that will change soon and it was reported that
__field() causes build failures.
To solve the __field() issue, __field_struct() is introduced to allow
trace_events to be able to record complex types too"

A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in
kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving
other tasks a chance to run.
Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog
task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system
log.
On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the
actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is
reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be
insufficient to assist debugging efforts.
To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which
support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup
reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain
a stack trace.
If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl
and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

However, if the percpu_pagelist_fraction sysctl is set by the user, it

This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior.
It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as
stated by the documentation for sanity. If a value in the range [1, 7]
is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL.
This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

What happened is after updating the watchdog_thresh, the lockup detector
is restarted to utilize the new value. Part of this process involved
disabling preemption. Once preemption was disabled, perf tried to
allocate a new event (as part of the restart). This caused the above
BUG_ON as you can't sleep with preemption disabled.
The preemption restriction seemed agressive as we are not doing anything
on that particular cpu, but with all the online cpus (which are
protected by the get_online_cpus lock). Remove the restriction and the
BUG_ON goes away.

To allow filtering of huge pages, makedumpfile must be able to identify
them in the dump. This can be done by checking the appropriate page
flag, so communicate its value to makedumpfile through the VMCOREINFO
interface.
There's only one small catch. Depending on how many page flags are
available on a given architecture, this bit can be called PG_head or
PG_compound.
I sent a similar patch back in 2012, but Eric Biederman did not like
using an #ifdef. So, this time I'm adding a common symbol
(PG_head_mask) instead.

There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and
the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the
outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline.
Specifically, this can happen when using
smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows
sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race
condition is described below.
During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the
_DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and
the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can
encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs
to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU
ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline.
CPU 1 CPU 2
(Online CPU) (CPU going offline)
Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
=
Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI
the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were
IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU.
smp_call_function_single_async() |
=
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage
=
Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down()
disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline
=
Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage
Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts
The pending IPI is noted
immediately, but alas,
the CPU is offline at
this point.
This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on
CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline
CPU".
One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's
complete-request call-path:
__blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler]
raise_blk_irq()
smp_call_function_single_async()
However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target
CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually
the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that
leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline.
In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by
itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI
send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline
without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a
CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a
batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one
of those callbacks).
So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts:
1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the
callbacks queued on it.
2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler
code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that
CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue.
Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the
queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1],
including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have
been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that
arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned
above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since
the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before
going offline.
Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees
that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy -
that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone
offline.
[1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we
execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already
been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at
this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure
the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check
in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix
CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING
notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change
doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution
proposed above until that is done).

Commit ac1bea85781e (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states)
fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable
task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop
contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced
performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test.
The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path
length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which
increased per-update grace-period overhead.
This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by
moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to
rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a
simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this
approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send
resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once
the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs
parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period
reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings
will be emitted, whichever comes first.

Currently, call_rcu() relies on implicit allocation and initialization
for the debug-objects handling of RCU callbacks. If you hammer the
kernel hard enough with Sasha's modified version of trinity, you can end
up with the sl*b allocators recursing into themselves via this implicit
call_rcu() allocation.
This commit therefore exports the debug_init_rcu_head() and
debug_rcu_head_free() functions, which permits the allocators to allocated
and pre-initialize the debug-objects information, so that there no longer
any need for call_rcu() to do that initialization, which in turn prevents
the recursion into the memory allocators.

In lowres mode, hrtimers are serviced by the tick instead of a clock
event. It works well as long as the tick stays periodic but we must also
make sure that the hrtimers are serviced in dynticks mode targets,
pretty much like timer list timers do.
Note that all dynticks modes are concerned: get_nohz_timer_target()
tries not to return remote idle CPUs but there is nothing to prevent
the elected target from entering dynticks idle mode until we lock its
base. It's also prefectly legal to enqueue hrtimers on full dynticks CPU.
So there are two requirements to correctly handle dynticks:
1) On target's tick stop time, we must not delay the next tick further
the next hrtimer.
2) On hrtimer queue time. If the tick of the target is stopped, we must
wake up that CPU such that it sees the new hrtimer and recalculate
the next tick accordingly.
The point 1 is well handled currently through get_nohz_timer_interrupt() and
cmp_next_hrtimer_event().
But the point 2 isn't handled at all.
Fixing this is easy though as we have the necessary API ready for that.
All we need is to call wake_up_nohz_cpu() on a target when a newly
enqueued hrtimer requires tick rescheduling, like timer list timer do.

In lowres mode, hrtimers are serviced by the tick instead of a clock
event. Now it works well as long as the tick stays periodic but we
must also make sure that the hrtimers are serviced in dynticks mode.
Part of that job consist in kicking a dynticks hrtimer target in order
to make it reconsider the next tick to schedule to correctly handle the
hrtimer's expiring time. And that part isn't handled by the hrtimers
subsystem.
To prepare for fixing this, we need __hrtimer_start_range_ns() to be
able to resolve the CPU target associated to a hrtimer's object
'cpu_base' so that the kick can be centralized there.
So lets store it in the 'struct hrtimer_cpu_base' to resolve the CPU
without overhead. It is set once at CPU's online notification.

When a timer is enqueued or modified on a dynticks target, that CPU
must re-evaluate the next tick to service that timer.
The tick re-evaluation is performed by an IPI kick on the target.
Now while we correctly call wake_up_nohz_cpu() from add_timer_on(), the
mod_timer*() API family doesn't support so well dynticks targets.
The reason for this is likely that __mod_timer() isn't supposed to
select an idle target for a timer, unless that target is the current
CPU, in which case a dynticks idle kick isn't actually needed.
But there is a small race window lurking behind that assumption: the
elected target has all the time to turn dynticks idle between the call
to get_nohz_timer_target() and the locking of its base. Hence a risk
that we enqueue a timer on a dynticks idle destination without kicking
it. As a result, the timer might be serviced too late in the future.
Also a target elected by __mod_timer() can be in full dynticks mode
and thus require to be kicked as well. And unlike idle dynticks, this
concern both local and remote targets.
To fix this whole issue, lets centralize the dynticks kick to
internal_add_timer() so that it is well handled for all sort of timer
enqueue. Even timer migration is concerned so that a full dynticks target
is correctly kicked as needed when timers are migrating to it.

Timers are serviced by the tick. But when a timer is enqueued on a
dynticks target, we need to kick it in order to make it reconsider the
next tick to schedule to correctly handle the timer's expiring time.
Now while this kick is correctly performed for add_timer_on(), the
mod_timer*() family has been a bit neglected.
To prepare for fixing this, we need internal_add_timer() to be able to
resolve the CPU target associated to a timer's object 'base' so that the
kick can be centralized there.
This can't be passed as an argument as not all the callers know the CPU
number of a timer's base. So lets store it in the struct tvec_base to
resolve the CPU without much overhead. It is set once for good at every
CPU's first boot.

Except for Kconfig.HZ. That needs a separate treatment.

We want the staging fixes here as well.

Export irq_domain_disassociate() to architecture interrupt drivers,
so it could be used to handle legacy IRQ descriptors on x86.
