Ensure scheduler_ipi() calls irq_{enter,exit} when it does some actual
work. Traditionally we never did any actual work from the resched IPI
and all magic happened in the return from interrupt path.
Now that we do do some work, we need to ensure irq_{enter,exit} are
called so that we don't confuse things.
This affects things like timekeeping, NO_HZ and RCU, basically
everything with a hook in irq_enter/exit.
Explicit examples of things going wrong are:
sched_clock_cpu() -- has a callback when leaving NO_HZ state to take
a new reading from GTOD and TSC. Without this
callback, time is stuck in the past.
RCU -- needs in_irq() to work in order to avoid some nasty deadlocks

The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and
priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock
cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock()
where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause
the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some
of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the
task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level
instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held
from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false,
deadlock can result.
This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of
the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an
instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents
instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing.
This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly
made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines
Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the
__rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating
a separate per-CPU variable.
This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative
values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will
never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never
invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the
RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special.
This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative
in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS
bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while
__rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical
section.
Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that
->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting
of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it,
and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding
rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side
critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up --
which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in
the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held.
This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()
check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from
queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are
already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in
other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side
critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()
invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case,
which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task
(if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace
period and needless RCU priority boosting.
It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler
lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either
preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal,
namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with
irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the
entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

When creating sched_domains, stop when we've covered the entire
target span instead of continuing to create domains, only to
later find they're redundant and throw them away again.
This avoids single node systems from touching funny NUMA
sched_domain creation code and reduces the risks of the new
SD_OVERLAP code.

Allow for sched_domain spans that overlap by giving such domains their
own sched_group list instead of sharing the sched_groups amongst
each-other.
This is needed for machines with more than 16 nodes, because
sched_domain_node_span() will generate a node mask from the
16 nearest nodes without regard if these masks have any overlap.
Currently sched_domains have a sched_group that maps to their child
sched_domain span, and since there is no overlap we share the
sched_group between the sched_domains of the various CPUs. If however
there is overlap, we would need to link the sched_group list in
different ways for each cpu, and hence sharing isn't possible.
In order to solve this, allocate private sched_groups for each CPU's
sched_domain but have the sched_groups share a sched_group_power
structure such that we can uniquely track the power.

Given some common flag combinations, particularly -Os, gcc will inline
rcu_read_unlock_special() despite its being in an unlikely() clause.
Use noinline to prohibit this misoptimization.
In addition, move the second barrier() in __rcu_read_unlock() so that
it is not on the common-case code path. This will allow the compiler to
generate better code for the common-case path through __rcu_read_unlock().

The RCU_BOOST commits for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU introduced an other-task
write to a new RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED bit in the task_struct structure's
->rcu_read_unlock_special field, but, as noted by Steven Rostedt, without
correctly synchronizing all accesses to ->rcu_read_unlock_special.
This could result in bits in ->rcu_read_unlock_special being spuriously
set and cleared due to conflicting accesses, which in turn could result
in deadlocks between the rcu_node structure's ->lock and the scheduler's
rq and pi locks. These deadlocks would result from RCU incorrectly
believing that the just-ended RCU read-side critical section had been
preempted and/or boosted. If that RCU read-side critical section was
executed with either rq or pi locks held, RCU's ensuing (incorrect)
calls to the scheduler would cause the scheduler to attempt to once
again acquire the rq and pi locks, resulting in deadlock. More complex
deadlock cycles are also possible, involving multiple rq and pi locks
as well as locks from multiple rcu_node structures.
This commit fixes synchronization by creating ->rcu_boosted field in
task_struct that is accessed and modified only when holding the ->lock
in the rcu_node structure on which the task is queued (on that rcu_node
structure's ->blkd_tasks list). This results in tasks accessing only
their own current->rcu_read_unlock_special fields, making unsynchronized
access once again legal, and keeping the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath free
of atomic instructions and memory barriers.
The reason that the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath does not need to access
the new current->rcu_boosted field is that this new field cannot
be non-zero unless the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit is set in the
current->rcu_read_unlock_special field. Therefore, rcu_read_unlock()
need only test current->rcu_read_unlock_special: if that is zero, then
current->rcu_boosted must also be zero.
This bug does not affect TINY_PREEMPT_RCU because this implementation
of RCU accesses current->rcu_read_unlock_special with irqs disabled,
thus preventing races on the !SMP systems that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU runs on.

PREEMPT_RCU read-side critical sections blocking an expedited grace
period invoke rcu_report_exp_rnp(). When the last such critical section
has completed, rcu_report_exp_rnp() invokes the scheduler to wake up the
task that invoked synchronize_rcu_expedited() -- needlessly holding the
root rcu_node structure's lock while doing so, thus needlessly providing
a way for RCU and the scheduler to deadlock.
This commit therefore releases the root rcu_node structure's lock before
calling wake_up().

This change adds a procfs connector event, which is emitted on every
successful process tracer attach or detach.
If some process connects to other one, kernelspace connector reports
process id and thread group id of both these involved processes. On
disconnection null process id is returned.
Such an event allows to create a simple automated userspace mechanism
to be aware about processes connecting to others, therefore predefined
process policies can be applied to them if needed.
Note, a detach signal is emitted only in case, if a tracer process
explicitly executes PTRACE_DETACH request. In other cases like tracee
or tracer exit detach event from proc connector is not reported.

If the new child is traced, do_fork() adds the pending SIGSTOP.
It assumes that either it is traced because of auto-attach or the
tracer attached later, in both cases sigaddset/set_thread_flag is
correct even if SIGSTOP is already pending.
Now that we have PTRACE_SEIZE this is no longer right in the latter
case. If the tracer does PTRACE_SEIZE after copy_process() makes the
child visible the queued SIGSTOP is wrong.
We could check PT_SEIZED bit and change ptrace_attach() to set both
PT_PTRACED and PT_SEIZED bits simultaneously but see the next patch,
we need to know whether this child was auto-attached or not anyway.
So this patch simply moves this code to ptrace_init_task(), this
way we can never race with ptrace_attach().

has_stopped_jobs() naively checks task_is_stopped(group_leader). This
was always wrong even without ptrace, group_leader can be dead. And
given that ptrace can change the state to TRACED this is wrong even
in the single-threaded case.
Change the code to check SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED and simplify the code,
retval + break/continue doesn't make this trivial code more readable.
We could probably add the usual "|| signal->group_stop_count" check
but I don't think this makes sense, the task can start the group-stop
right after the check anyway.

A system or a device may need to control suspend/wakeup events. It may
want to wakeup the system after a predefined amount of time or at a
predefined event decided while entering suspend for polling or delayed
work. Then, it may want to enter suspend again if its predefined wakeup
condition is the only wakeup reason and there is no outstanding events;
thus, it does not wakeup the userspace unnecessary or unnecessary
devices and keeps suspended as long as possible (saving the power).
Enabling a system to wakeup after a specified time can be easily
achieved by using RTC. However, to enter suspend again immediately
without invoking userland and unrelated devices, we need additional
features in the suspend framework.
Such need comes from:
1. Monitoring a critical device status without interrupts that can
wakeup the system. (in-suspend polling)
An example is ambient temperature monitoring that needs to shut down
the system or a specific device function if it is too hot or cold. The
temperature of a specific device may be needed to be monitored as well;
e.g., a charger monitors battery temperature in order to stop charging
if overheated.
2. Execute critical "delayed work" at suspend.
A driver or a system/board may have a delayed work (or any similar
things) that it wants to execute at the requested time.
For example, some chargers want to check the battery voltage some
time (e.g., 30 seconds) after the battery is fully charged and the
charger has stopped. Then, the charger restarts charging if the voltage
has dropped more than a threshold, which is smaller than "restart-charger"
voltage, which is a threshold to restart charging regardless of the
time passed.
This patch allows to add "suspend_again" callback at struct
platform_suspend_ops and let the "suspend_again" callback return true if
the system is required to enter suspend again after the current instance
of wakeup. Device-wise suspend_again implemented at dev_pm_ops or
syscore is not done because: a) suspend_again feature is usually under
platform-wise decision and controls the behavior of the whole platform
and b) There are very limited devices related to the usage cases of
suspend_again; chargers and temperature sensors are mentioned so far.
With suspend_again callback registered at struct platform_suspend_ops
suspend_ops in kernel/power/suspend.c with suspend_set_ops by the
platform, the suspend framework tries to enter suspend again by
looping suspend_enter() if suspend_again has returned true and there has
been no errors in the suspending sequence or pending wakeups (by
pm_wakeup_pending).
Tested at Exynos4-NURI.

Enabling function tracer to trace all functions, then load a module and
then disable function tracing will cause ftrace to fail.
This can also happen by enabling function tracing on the command line:
ftrace=function
and during boot up, modules are loaded, then you disable function tracing
with 'echo nop > current_tracer' you will trigger a bug in ftrace that
will shut itself down.
The reason is, the new ftrace code keeps ref counts of all ftrace_ops that
are registered for tracing. When one or more ftrace_ops are registered,
all the records that represent the functions that the ftrace_ops will
trace have a ref count incremented. If this ref count is not zero,
when the code modification runs, that function will be enabled for tracing.
If the ref count is zero, that function will be disabled from tracing.
To make sure the accounting was working, FTRACE_WARN_ON()s were added
to updating of the ref counts.
If the ref count hits its max (> 2^30 ftrace_ops added), or if
the ref count goes below zero, a FTRACE_WARN_ON() is triggered which
disables all modification of code.
Since it is common for ftrace_ops to trace all functions in the kernel,
instead of creating > 20,000 hash items for the ftrace_ops, the hash
count is just set to zero, and it represents that the ftrace_ops is
to trace all functions. This is where the issues arrise.
If you enable function tracing to trace all functions, and then add
a module, the modules function records do not get the ref count updated.
When the function tracer is disabled, all function records ref counts
are subtracted. Since the modules never had their ref counts incremented,
they go below zero and the FTRACE_WARN_ON() is triggered.
The solution to this is rather simple. When modules are loaded, and
their functions are added to the the ftrace pool, look to see if any
ftrace_ops are registered that trace all functions. And for those,
update the ref count for the module function records.

Instead of hw_nmi_watchdog_set_attr() weak function
and appropriate x86_pmu::hw_watchdog_set_attr() call
we introduce even alias mechanism which allow us
to drop this routines completely and isolate quirks
of Netburst architecture inside P4 PMU code only.
The main idea remains the same though -- to allow
nmi-watchdog and perf top run simultaneously.
Note the aliasing mechanism applies to generic
PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES event only because arbitrary
event (say passed as RAW initially) might have some
additional bits set inside ESCR register changing
the behaviour of event and we can't guarantee anymore
that alias event will give the same result.
P.S. Thanks a huge to Don and Steven for for testing

Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames.
This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when
the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for
the event processing itself.
Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can
write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer.
For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being
process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough
as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway.

This patch makes update_rq_clock() aware of steal time.
The mechanism of operation is not different from irq_time,
and follows the same principles. This lives in a CONFIG
option itself, and can be compiled out independently of
the rest of steal time reporting. The effect of disabling it
is that the scheduler will still report steal time (that cannot be
disabled), but won't use this information for cpu power adjustments.
Everytime update_rq_clock_task() is invoked, we query information
about how much time was stolen since last call, and feed it into
sched_rt_avg_update().
Although steal time reporting in account_process_tick() keeps
track of the last time we read the steal clock, in prev_steal_time,
this patch do it independently using another field,
prev_steal_time_rq. This is because otherwise, information about time
accounted in update_process_tick() would never reach us in update_rq_clock().

This patch accounts steal time time in account_process_tick.
If one or more tick is considered stolen in the current
accounting cycle, user/system accounting is skipped. Idle is fine,
since the hypervisor does not report steal time if the guest
is halted.
Accounting steal time from the core scheduler give us the
advantage of direct acess to the runqueue data. In a later
opportunity, it can be used to tweak cpu power and make
the scheduler aware of the time it lost.

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.
This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.
Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time
This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

Archs that do not implement CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST, will
fail the dynamic ftrace selftest.
The function tracer has a quick 'off' variable that will prevent
the call back functions from being called. This variable is called
function_trace_stop. In x86, this is implemented directly in the mcount
assembly, but for other archs, an intermediate function is used called
ftrace_test_stop_func().
In dynamic ftrace, the function pointer variable ftrace_trace_function is
used to update the caller code in the mcount caller. But for archs that
do not have CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST set, it only calls
ftrace_test_stop_func() instead, which in turn calls __ftrace_trace_function.
When more than one ftrace_ops is registered, the function it calls is
ftrace_ops_list_func(), which will iterate over all registered ftrace_ops
and call the callbacks that have their hash matching.
The issue happens when two ftrace_ops are registered for different functions
and one is then unregistered. The __ftrace_trace_function is then pointed
to the remaining ftrace_ops callback function directly. This mean it will
be called for all functions that were registered to trace by both ftrace_ops
that were registered.
This is not an issue for archs with CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST,
because the update of ftrace_trace_function doesn't happen until after all
functions have been updated, and then the mcount caller is updated. But
for those archs that do use the ftrace_test_stop_func(), the update is
immediate.
The dynamic selftest fails because it hits this situation, and the
ftrace_ops that it registers fails to only trace what it was suppose to
and instead traces all other functions.
The solution is to delay the setting of __ftrace_trace_function until
after all the functions have been updated according to the registered
ftrace_ops. Also, function_trace_stop is set during the update to prevent
function tracing from calling code that is caused by the function tracer
itself.

Currently, if set_ftrace_filter() is called when the ftrace_ops is
active, the function filters will not be updated. They will only be updated
when tracing is disabled and re-enabled.
Update the functions immediately during set_ftrace_filter().

Whenever the hash of the ftrace_ops is updated, the record counts
must be balance. This requires disabling the records that are set
in the original hash, and then enabling the records that are set
in the updated hash.
Moving the update into ftrace_hash_move() removes the bug where the
hash was updated but the records were not, which results in ftrace
triggering a warning and disabling itself because the ftrace_ops filter
is updated while the ftrace_ops was registered, and then the failure
happens when the ftrace_ops is unregistered.
The current code will not trigger this bug, but new code will.

Under some rare but real combinations of configuration parameters, RCU
callbacks are posted during early boot that use kernel facilities that
are not yet initialized. Therefore, when these callbacks are invoked,
hard hangs and crashes ensue. This commit therefore prevents RCU
callbacks from being invoked until after the scheduler is fully up and
running, as in after multiple tasks have been spawned.
It might well turn out that a better approach is to identify the specific
RCU callbacks that are causing this problem, but that discussion will
wait until such time as someone really needs an RCU callback to be invoked
(as opposed to merely registered) during early boot.

KVM has an ioctl to define which signal mask should be used while running
inside VCPU_RUN. At least for big endian systems, this mask is different
on 32-bit and 64-bit systems (though the size is identical).
Add a compat wrapper that converts the mask to whatever the kernel accepts,
allowing 32-bit kvm user space to set signal masks.
This patch fixes qemu with --enable-io-thread on ppc64 hosts when running
32-bit user land.

fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to
the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly
specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many
cases (like across cgroups).
fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to
indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed
a boost.
It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete.
Lets kill it.

That's over 1ms that interrupts are disabled on a Real-Time kernel!
Looking at the cause (being the ftrace author helped), I found that the
interrupts are disabled before the code modification of mcounts into nops. The
interrupts only need to be disabled on start up around this code, not when
modules are being loaded.

If a function is set to be traced by the set_graph_function, but the
option funcgraph-irqs is zero, and the traced function happens to be
called from a interrupt, it will not be traced.
The point of funcgraph-irqs is to not trace interrupts when we are
preempted by an irq, not to not trace functions we want to trace that
happen to be *in* a irq.
Luckily the current->trace_recursion element is perfect to add a flag
to help us be able to trace functions within an interrupt even when
we are not tracing interrupts that preempt the trace.

This fixes a regression introduced by e59347a "arm: orion:
Use generic irq chip".
Depending on the device, interrupts acknowledgement is done by setting
or by clearing a dedicated register. Replace irq_gc_ack() with some
{set,clr}_bit variants allows to handle both cases.
Note that this patch affects the following SoCs: Davinci, Samsung and
Orion. Except for this last, the change is minor: irq_gc_ack() is just
renamed into irq_gc_ack_set_bit().
For the Orion SoCs, the edge GPIO interrupts support is currently
broken. irq_gc_ack() try to acknowledge a such interrupt by setting
the corresponding cause register bit. The Orion GPIO device expect the
opposite. To fix this issue, the irq_gc_ack_clr_bit() variant is used.
Tested on Network Space v2.

The new code that allows different utilities to pick and choose
what functions they trace broke the :mod: hook that allows users
to trace only functions of a particular module.
The reason is that the :mod: hook bypasses the hash that is setup
to allow individual users to trace their own functions and uses
the global hash directly. But if the global hash has not been
set up, it will cause a bug:
echo '*:mod:radeon' > /sys/kernel/debug/set_ftrace_filter

The "enable" file for the event system can be removed when a module
is unloaded and the event system only has events from that module.
As the event system nr_events count goes to zero, it may be freed
if its ref_count is also set to zero.
Like the "filter" file, the "enable" file may be opened by a task and
referenced later, after a module has been unloaded and the events for
that event system have been removed.
Although the "filter" file referenced the event system structure,
the "enable" file only references a pointer to the event system
name. Since the name is freed when the event system is removed,
it is possible that an access to the "enable" file may reference
a freed pointer.
Update the "enable" file to use the subsystem_open() routine that
the "filter" file uses, to keep a reference to the event system
structure while the "enable" file is opened.

The event system is freed when its nr_events is set to zero. This happens
when a module created an event system and then later the module is
removed. Modules may share systems, so the system is allocated when
it is created and freed when the modules are unloaded and all the
events under the system are removed (nr_events set to zero).
The problem arises when a task opened the "filter" file for the
system. If the module is unloaded and it removed the last event for
that system, the system structure is freed. If the task that opened
the filter file accesses the "filter" file after the system has
been freed, the system will access an invalid pointer.
By adding a ref_count, and using it to keep track of what
is using the event system, we can free it after all users
are finished with the event system.
