2011-11-14printk, lockdep: Switch to tracked irq opsPeter Zijlstra
Switch to local_irq_ ops so that the irq state is properly tracked (raw_local_irq_* isn't tracked by lockdep, causing confusion). Possible now that commit dd4e5d3ac4a ("lockdep: Fix trace_[soft,hard]irqs_[on,off]() recursion") cured the reason we needed the raw_ ops.

2011-11-14printk, lockdep: Disable lock debugging on zap_locks()Peter Zijlstra
zap_locks() is used by printk() in a last ditch effort to get data out, clearly we cannot trust lock state after this so make it disable lock debugging. Also don't treat printk recursion through lockdep as a normal recursion bug but try hard to get the lockdep splat out.

2011-11-14events: Don't divide events if it has field periodAndrew Vagin
This patch solves the following problem: Now some samples may be lost due to throttling. The number of samples is restricted by sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ. A trace event is divided on some samples according to event's period. I don't sure, that we should generate more than one sample on each trace event. I think the better way to use SAMPLE_PERIOD. E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process, which sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases. swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns] swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns] In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. It's bug. With this patch kernel generates one event on each "sleep" and the time slice is saved in the field "period". Perf knows how handle it.

2011-11-14sched: Set the command name of the idle tasks in SMP kernelsCarsten Emde
In UP systems, the idle task is initialized using the init_task structure from which the command name is taken (currently "swapper"). In SMP systems, one idle task per CPU is forked by the worker thread from which the task structure is copied. The command name is, therefore, "kworker/0:0" or "kworker/0:1", if not updated. Since such update was lacking, all idle tasks in SMP systems were incorrectly named. This longtime bug was not discovered immediately, because there is no /proc/0 entry - the bug only becomes apparent when tracing is enabled. This patch sets the command name of the idle tasks in SMP systems to the name that is used in the INIT_TASK structure suffixed by a slash and the number of the CPU.

2011-11-10clocksource: Avoid selecting mult values that might overflow when adjustedJohn Stultz
For some frequencies, the clocks_calc_mult_shift() function will unfortunately select mult values very close to 0xffffffff. This has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding to the mult value. This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to 500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could be made to the clocksource.mult value. This is then used to both check that the current mult value won't overflow/underflow, as well as warning us if the timekeeping_adjust() code pushes over that 11% boundary. v2: Fix max_adjustment calculation, and improve WARN_ONCE messages. v3: Don't warn before maxadj has actually been set CC: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> CC: David Daney <ddaney.cavm@gmail.com> CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> CC: Chen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> CC: zhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> CC: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Chen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> Reported-by: zhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> Tested-by: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

2011-11-07ftrace: Remove force undef config value left for testingSteven Rostedt
A forced undef of a config value was used for testing and was accidently left in during the final commit. This causes x86 to run slower than needed while running function tracing as well as causes the function graph selftest to fail when DYNMAIC_FTRACE is not set. This is because the code in MCOUNT expects the ftrace code to be processed with the config value set that happened to be forced not set.

2011-11-07lockdep: Show subclass in pretty print of lockdep outputSteven Rostedt
The pretty print of the lockdep debug splat uses just the lock name to show how the locking scenario happens. But when it comes to nesting locks, the output becomes confusing which takes away the point of the pretty printing of the lock scenario. Without displaying the subclass info, we get the following output: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET); *** DEADLOCK *** The above looks more of a A->A locking bug than a A->B B->A. By adding the subclass to the output, we can see what really happened: other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET/1); lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET/1); *** DEADLOCK *** This bug was discovered while tracking down a real bug caught by lockdep.

2011-11-07module: Enable dynamic debugging regardless of taintBen Hutchings
Dynamic debugging is currently disabled for tainted modules, except for TAINT_CRAP. This prevents use of dynamic debugging for out-of-tree modules once the next patch is applied. This condition was apparently intended to avoid a crash if a force- loaded module has an incompatible definition of dynamic debug structures. However, a administrator that forces us to load a module is claiming that it *is* compatible even though it fails our version checks. If they are mistaken, there are any number of ways the module could crash the system. As a side-effect, proprietary and other tainted modules can now use dynamic_debug.

2011-11-04tracing: Add boiler plate for subsystem filterSteven Rostedt
The system filter can be used to set multiple event filters that exist within the system. But currently it displays the last filter written that does not necessarily correspond to the filters within the system. The system filter itself is not used to filter any events. The system filter is just a means to set filters of the events within it. Because this causes an ambiguous state when the system filter reads a filter string but the events within the system have different strings it is best to just show a boiler plate: ### global filter ### # Use this to set filters for multiple events. # Only events with the given fields will be affected. # If no events are modified, an error message will be displayed here. If an error occurs while writing to the system filter, the system filter will replace the boiler plate with the error message as it currently does. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-11-04PM / Freezer: Revert 27920651fe "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() ↵Tejun Heo
wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" Commit 27920651fe "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" updated fake_signal_wake_up() used by freezer to wake up KILLABLE tasks. Sending unsolicited wakeups to tasks in killable sleep is dangerous as there are code paths which depend on tasks not waking up spuriously from KILLABLE sleep. For example. sys_read() or page can sleep in TASK_KILLABLE assuming that wait/down/whatever _killable can only fail if we can not return to the usermode. TASK_TRACED is another obvious example. The previous patch updated wait_event_freezekillable() such that it doesn't depend on the spurious wakeup. This patch reverts the offending commit. Note that the spurious KILLABLE wakeup had other implicit effects in KILLABLE sleeps in nfs and cifs and those will need further updates to regain freezekillable behavior.

2011-11-04PM / Sleep: Fix race between CPU hotplug and freezerSrivatsa S. Bhat
The CPU hotplug notifications sent out by the _cpu_up() and _cpu_down() functions depend on the value of the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to them (which indicates whether tasks have been frozen or not). (Examples for such CPU hotplug notifications: CPU_ONLINE, CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN, CPU_DEAD, CPU_DEAD_FROZEN). Thus, it is essential that while the callbacks for those notifications are running, the state of the system with respect to the tasks being frozen or not remains unchanged, *throughout that duration*. Hence there is a need for synchronizing the CPU hotplug code with the freezer subsystem. Since the freezer is involved only in the Suspend/Hibernate call paths, this patch hooks the CPU hotplug code to the suspend/hibernate notifiers PM_[SUSPEND|HIBERNATE]_PREPARE and PM_POST_[SUSPEND|HIBERNATE] to prevent the race between CPU hotplug and freezer, thus ensuring that CPU hotplug notifications will always be run with the state of the system really being what the notifications indicate, _throughout_ their execution time.

2011-11-04oprofile, x86: Reimplement nmi timer mode using perf eventRobert Richter
The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation of the perf based nmi watchdog. This broke Oprofile's nmi timer mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source. V2: * removing pr_info() * fix undefined reference to `__udivdi3' for 32 bit build * fix section mismatch of .cpuinit.data:nmi_timer_cpu_nb * removed nmi timer setup in arch/x86 * implemented function stubs for op_nmi_init/exit() * made code more readable in oprofile_init() V3: * fix architectural initialization in oprofile_init() * fix CONFIG_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER dependencies Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

This reverts commit 144060fee07e9c22e179d00819c83c86fbcbf82c. It causes a resume regression for Andi on his Acer Aspire 1830T post 3.1. The screen just stays black after wakeup. Also, it really looks like the wrong way to suspend and resume perf events: I think they should be done as part of the CPU suspend and resume, rather than as a notifier that does smp_call_function().

2011-11-03genirq: Fix irqfixup, irqpoll regressionEdward Donovan
commit d05c65fff0 ("genirq: spurious: Run only one poller at a time") introduced a regression, leaving the boot options 'irqfixup' and 'irqpoll' non-functional. The patch placed tests in each function, to exit if the function is already running. The test in 'misrouted_irq' exited when it should have proceeded, effectively disabling 'misrouted_irq' and 'poll_spurious_irqs'. The check for an already running poller needs to be "!= 1" not "== 1" as "1" is the value when the first poller starts running.

2011-11-02memcg: replace ss->id_lock with a rwlockAndrew Bresticker
While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of the ss->id_lock. This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy walk). Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new(). By making the ss->id_lock a rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves. Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine. Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers. Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.

2011-11-02cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one node remains setDavid Rientjes
{get,put}_mems_allowed() exist so that general kernel code may locklessly access a task's set of allowable nodes without having the chance that a concurrent write will cause the nodemask to be empty on configurations where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG. This could incur a significant delay, however, especially in low memory conditions because the page allocator is blocking and reclaim requires get_mems_allowed() itself. It is not atypical to see writes to cpuset.mems take over 2 seconds to complete, for example. In low memory conditions, this is problematic because it's one of the most imporant times to change cpuset.mems in the first place! The only way a task's set of allowable nodes may change is through cpusets by writing to cpuset.mems and when attaching a task to a generic code is not reading the nodemask with get_mems_allowed() at the same time, and then clearing all the old nodes. This prevents the possibility that a reader will see an empty nodemask at the same time the writer is storing a new nodemask. If at least one node remains unchanged, though, it's possible to simply set all new nodes and then clear all the old nodes. Changing a task's nodemask is protected by cgroup_mutex so it's guaranteed that two threads are not changing the same task's nodemask at the same time, so the nodemask is guaranteed to be stored before another thread changes it and determines whether a node remains set or not.

2011-11-02cgroups: don't attach task to subsystem if migration failedBen Blum
If a task has exited to the point it has called cgroup_exit() already, then we can't migrate it to another cgroup anymore. This can happen when we are attaching a task to a new cgroup between the call to ->can_attach_task() on subsystems and the migration that is eventually tried in cgroup_task_migrate(). In this case cgroup_task_migrate() returns -ESRCH and we don't want to attach the task to the subsystems because the attachment to the new cgroup itself failed. Fix this by only calling ->attach_task() on the subsystems if the cgroup migration succeeded.

Userspace needs to know the highest valid capability of the running kernel, which right now cannot reliably be retrieved from the header files only. The fact that this value cannot be determined properly right now creates various problems for libraries compiled on newer header files which are run on older kernels. They assume capabilities are available which actually aren't. libcap-ng is one example. And we ran into the same problem with systemd too. Now the capability is exported in /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap.
