2009-07-22perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited countersPeter Zijlstra
Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

2009-07-21x86, intel_txt: Intel TXT Sx shutdown supportJoseph Cihula
Support for graceful handling of sleep states (S3/S4/S5) after an Intel(R) TXT launch. Without this patch, attempting to place the system in one of the ACPI sleep states (S3/S4/S5) will cause the TXT hardware to treat this as an attack and will cause a system reset, with memory locked. Not only may the subsequent memory scrub take some time, but the platform will be unable to enter the requested power state. This patch calls back into the tboot so that it may properly and securely clean up system state and clear the secrets-in-memory flag, after which it will place the system into the requested sleep state using ACPI information passed by the kernel. arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c | 2 ++ drivers/acpi/acpica/hwsleep.c | 3 +++ kernel/cpu.c | 7 ++++++- 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Signed-off-by: Joseph Cihula <joseph.cihula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Shane Wang <shane.wang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.

2009-07-21genirq: Delegate irq affinity setting to the irq threadThomas Gleixner
irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required by set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems nicely. Add kerneldoc to irq_set_thread_affinity() while at it.

2009-07-20tracing/filters: improve subsystem filterLi Zefan
Currently a subsystem filter should be applicable to all events under the subsystem, and if it failed, all the event filters will be cleared. Those behaviors make subsys filter much less useful: # echo 'vec == 1' > irq/softirq_entry/filter # echo 'irq == 5' > irq/filter bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # cat irq/softirq_entry/filter none I'd expect it set the filter for irq_handler_entry/exit, and not touch softirq_entry/exit. The basic idea is, try to see if the filter can be applied to which events, and then just apply to the those events: # echo 'vec == 1' > softirq_entry/filter # echo 'irq == 5' > filter # cat irq_handler_entry/filter irq == 5 # cat softirq_entry/filter vec == 1 Changelog for v2: - do some cleanups to address Frederic's comments.

2009-07-20tracing/events: record the size of dynamic arraysLi Zefan
When a dynamic array is defined, we add __data_loc_foo in trace_entry to record the offset of the array, but the size of the array is not recorded, which causes 2 problems: - the event filter just compares the first 2 chars of the strings. - parsers can't parse dynamic arrays. So we encode the size of each dynamic array in the higher 16 bits of __data_loc_foo, while the offset is in lower 16 bits.

2009-07-18sched: Pull up the might_sleep() check into cond_resched()Frederic Weisbecker
might_sleep() is called late-ish in cond_resched(), after the need_resched()/preempt enabled/system running tests are checked. It's better to check the sleeps while atomic earlier and not depend on some environment datas that reduce the chances to detect a problem. Also define cond_resched_*() helpers as macros, so that the FILE/LINE reported in the sleeping while atomic warning displays the real origin and not sched.h Changes in v2: - Call __might_sleep() directly instead of might_sleep() which may call cond_resched() - Turn cond_resched() into a macro so that the file:line couple reported refers to the caller of cond_resched() and not __cond_resched() itself.

2009-07-18sched: Drop the need_resched() loop from cond_resched()Frederic Weisbecker
The schedule() function is a loop that reschedules the current task while the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is set: void schedule(void) { need_resched: /* schedule code */ if (need_resched()) goto need_resched; } And cond_resched() repeat this loop: do { add_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE); schedule(); sub_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE); } while(need_resched()); This loop is needless because schedule() already did the check and nothing can set TIF_NEED_RESCHED between schedule() exit and the loop check in need_resched().

2009-07-18sched: fix nr_uninterruptible accounting of frozen tasks reallyThomas Gleixner
commit e3c8ca8336 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags & PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement nr_uninterruptible on thaw. Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and clear it after we return from frozen state.

2009-07-18sched: fix load average accounting vs. cpu hotplugThomas Gleixner
The new load average code clears rq->calc_load_active on CPU_ONLINE. That's wrong as the new onlined CPU might have got a scheduler tick already and accounted the delta to the stale value of the time we offlined the CPU. Clear the value when we cleanup the dead CPU instead. Also move the update of the calc_load_update time for the newly online CPU to CPU_UP_PREPARE to avoid that the CPU plays catch up with the stale update time value.

Right now we don't output vfork events. Even though we should always see an exec after a vfork, we may get perfcounter samples between the vfork and exec. These samples can lead to some confusion when parsing perfcounter data. To keep things consistent we should always log a fork event.

2009-07-18perf_counter: Make sure we dont leak kernel memory to userspaceAnton Blanchard
There are a few places we are leaking tiny amounts of kernel memory to userspace. This happens when writing out strings because we always align the end to 64 bits. To avoid this we should always use an appropriately sized temporary buffer and ensure it is zeroed. Since d_path assembles the string from the end of the buffer backwards, we need to add 64 bits after the buffer to allow for alignment. We also need to copy arch_vma_name to the temporary buffer, because if we use it directly we may end up copying to userspace a number of bytes after the end of the string constant.

2009-07-16tracing/function: Fix the return value of ftrace_trace_onoff_callback()Xiao Guangrong

This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes virtually written. Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case. If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned. So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.

2009-07-13tracing/function-profiler: do not free per cpu variable statSteven Rostedt
The per cpu variable stat is freeded if we fail to allocate a name on start up. This was due to stat at first being allocated in the initial design. But since then, it has become a static per cpu variable but the free on error was not removed. Also added __init annotation to the function that this is in. [ Impact: prevent possible memory corruption on low mem at boot up ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-07-13perf_counter: Fix the tracepoint channel to perfcountersChris Wilson
Fix a missed rename in EVENT_PROFILE support so that it gets built and allows tracepoint tracing from the 'perf' tool. Fix a typo in the (never before built & enabled) portion in perf_counter.c as well, and update that code to the attr.config changes as well.

2009-07-12genetlink: make netns awareJohannes Berg
This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No generic netlink families except for the controller family are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by one and then set the family->netnsok member to true. A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace, for example when it applies to an object that lives in that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns() to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects that do not have an associated netns). The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast the message in just init_net, which is currently correct for all generic netlink families since they only work in init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all net namespaces because they do not care about the netns at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns aware in some way. After this patch families can easily decide whether or not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many genl families us it for objects not related to networking and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but that will have to be done on a per family basis. Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart problem where network namespaces could be used, genl families and multicast groups are numbered globally and I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces for those families that do not care about netns.
