PG_head_mask was added into VMCOREINFO to filter huge pages in b3acc56bfe1
("kexec: save PG_head_mask in VMCOREINFO"), but makedumpfile still need
another symbol to filter *hugetlbfs* pages.
If a user hope to filter user pages, makedumpfile tries to exclude them by
checking the condition whether the page is anonymous, but hugetlbfs pages
aren't anonymous while they also be user pages.
We know it's possible to detect them in the same way as PageHuge(),
so we need the start address of free_huge_page():
int PageHuge(struct page *page)
{
if (!PageCompound(page))
return 0;
page = compound_head(page);
return get_compound_page_dtor(page) == free_huge_page;
}
For that reason, this patch changes free_huge_page() into public
to export it to VMCOREINFO.

The "uptime" trace clock added in:
commit 8aacf017b065a805d27467843490c976835eb4a5
tracing: Add "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies
has wraparound problems when the system has been up more
than 1 hour 11 minutes and 34 seconds. It converts jiffies
to nanoseconds using:
(u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL
but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it
truncates at 2^32 microseconds. An additional problem on 32-bit
systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the
return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000
system).
Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and
not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because
user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel
HZ values).

On ia64 and ppc64, function pointers do not point to the
entry address of the function, but to the address of a
function descriptor (which contains the entry address and misc
data).
Since the kprobes code passes the function pointer stored
by NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() to kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() for
initalizing its blacklist, it fails and reports many errors,
such as:
Failed to find blacklist 0001013168300000
Failed to find blacklist 0001013000f0a000
[...]
To fix this bug, use arch_deref_entry_point() to get the
function entry address for kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
instead of the raw function pointer.
Suzuki also pointed out that blacklist entries should also
be updated as well.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"A few more fixes for ftrace infrastructure.
I was cleaning out my INBOX and found two fixes from zhangwei from a
year ago that were lost in my mail. These fix an inconsistency
between trace_puts() and the way trace_printk() works. The reason
this is important to fix is because when trace_printk() doesn't have
any arguments, it turns into a trace_puts(). Not being able to enable
a stack trace against trace_printk() because it does not have any
arguments is quite confusing. Also, the fix is rather trivial and low
risk.
While porting some changes to PowerPC I discovered that it still has
the function graph tracer filter bug that if you also enable stack
tracing the function graph tracer filter is ignored. I fixed that up.
Finally, Martin Lau, fixed a bug that would cause readers of the
ftrace ring buffer to block forever even though it was suppose to be
NONBLOCK"
This also includes the fix from an earlier pull request:
"Oleg Nesterov fixed a memory leak that happens if a user creates a
tracing instance, sets up a filter in an event, and then removes that
instance. The filter allocates memory that is never freed when the
instance is destroyed"

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.
There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to

There are two definitions of struct rw_semaphore, one in linux/rwsem.h
and one in linux/rwsem-spinlock.h.
For some reason they have different names for the initial field. This
makes it impossible to use C99 named initialization for
__RWSEM_INITIALIZER() -- or we have to duplicate that entire thing
along with the structure definitions.
The simpler patch is renaming the rwsem-spinlock variant to match the
regular rwsem.
This allows us to switch to C99 named initialization.

proc_sched_show_task() does:
if (nr_switches)
do_div(avg_atom, nr_switches);
nr_switches is unsigned long and do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which
means it can test non-zero on e.g. x86-64 and be truncated to zero for
division.
Fix the problem by using div64_ul() instead.
As a side effect calculations of avg_atom for big nr_switches are now correct.

In the unlock function of the cancellable MCS spinlock, the first
thing we do is to retrive the current CPU's osq node. However, due to
the changes made in the previous patch, in the common case where the
lock is not contended, we wouldn't need to access the current CPU's
osq node anymore.
This patch optimizes this by only retriving this CPU's osq node
after we attempt the initial cmpxchg to unlock the osq and found
that its contended.

The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are
doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining
the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that
it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using
pointers to these nodes.
In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we
store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t.
A similar concept is used with the qspinlock.
By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers
to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock
by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

Currently, the per-cpu nodes structure for the cancellable MCS spinlock is
named "optimistic_spin_queue". However, in a follow up patch in the series
we will be introducing a new structure that serves as the new "handle" for
the lock. It would make more sense if that structure is named
"optimistic_spin_queue". Additionally, since the current use of the
"optimistic_spin_queue" structure are "nodes", it might be better if we
rename them to "node" anyway.
This preparatory patch renames all current "optimistic_spin_queue"
to "optimistic_spin_node".

Commit 4fc828e24cd9 ("locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning")
introduced a major performance regression for workloads such as
xfs_repair which mix read and write locking of the mmap_sem across
many threads. The result was xfs_repair ran 5x slower on 3.16-rc2
than on 3.15 and using 20x more system CPU time.
Perf profiles indicate in some workloads that significant time can
be spent spinning on !owner. This is because we don't set the lock
owner when readers(s) obtain the rwsem.
In this patch, we'll modify rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() such that we'll
return false if there is no lock owner. The rationale is that if we
just entered the slowpath, yet there is no lock owner, then there is
a possibility that a reader has the lock. To be conservative, we'll
avoid spinning in these situations.
This patch reduced the total run time of the xfs_repair workload from
about 4 minutes 24 seconds down to approximately 1 minute 26 seconds,
back to close to the same performance as on 3.15.
Retesting of AIM7, which were some of the workloads used to test the
original optimistic spinning code, confirmed that we still get big
performance gains with optimistic spinning, even with this additional
regression fix. Davidlohr found that while the 'custom' workload took
a performance hit of ~-14% to throughput for >300 users with this
additional patch, the overall gain with optimistic spinning is
still ~+45%. The 'disk' workload even improved by ~+15% at >1000 users.

Urgh.. so the only way I can make that happen is through:
perf_event_exit_task_context()
raw_spin_lock(&child_ctx->lock);
unclone_ctx(child_ctx)
put_ctx(ctx->parent_ctx);
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&child_ctx->lock);
And we can avoid this by doing the change below.
I can't immediately see how this changed recently, but given that you
say it's easy to reproduce, lets fix this.

Vince reported that commit 15a2d4de0eab5 ("perf: Always destroy groups
on exit") causes a regression with grouped events. In particular his
read_group_attached.c test fails.
https://github.com/deater/perf_event_tests/blob/master/tests/bugs/read_group_attached.c
Because of the context switch optimization in
perf_event_context_sched_out() the 'original' event may end up in the
child process and when that exits the change in the patch in question
destroys the actual grouping.
Therefore revert that change and only destroy inherited groups.

ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue
even there is immediate data available. Otherwise, the following epoll and
read sequence will eventually hang forever:
1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first
2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee)
3. epoll_wait()
4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN
5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer
6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever
~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2,
ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table,
which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its
wait_queue.
~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6,
ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue
because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works.
~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know
it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue.
Hence, block forever.
Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very
first thing to do. For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

Running my ftrace tests on PowerPC, it failed the test that checks
if function_graph tracer is affected by the stack tracer. It was.
Looking into this, I found that the update_function_graph_func()
must be called even if the trampoline function is not changed.
This is because archs like PowerPC do not support ftrace_ops being
passed by assembly and instead uses a helper function (what the
trampoline function points to). Since this function is not changed
even when multiple ftrace_ops are added to the code, the test that
falls out before calling update_function_graph_func() will miss that
the update must still be done.
Call update_function_graph_function() for all calls to
update_ftrace_function()

Currently trace option stacktrace is not applicable for
trace_printk with constant string argument, the reason is
in __trace_puts/__trace_bputs ftrace_trace_stack is missing.
In contrast, when using trace_printk with non constant string
argument(will call into __trace_printk/__trace_bprintk), then
trace option stacktrace is workable, this inconstant result
will confuses users a lot.

The commit [247bc037: PM / Sleep: Mitigate race between the freezer
and request_firmware()] introduced the finer state control, but it
also leads to a new bug; for example, a bug report regarding the
firmware loading of intel BT device at suspend/resume:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873790
The root cause seems to be a small window between the process resume
and the clear of usermodehelper lock. The request_firmware() function
checks the UMH lock and gives up when it's in UMH_DISABLE state. This
is for avoiding the invalid f/w loading during suspend/resume phase.
The problem is, however, that usermodehelper_enable() is called at the
end of thaw_processes(). Thus, a thawed process in between can kick
off the f/w loader code path (in this case, via btusb_setup_intel())
even before the call of usermodehelper_enable(). Then
usermodehelper_read_trylock() returns an error and request_firmware()
spews WARN_ON() in the end.
This oneliner patch fixes the issue just by setting to UMH_FREEZING
state again before restarting tasks, so that the call of
request_firmware() will be blocked until the end of this function
instead of returning an error.

Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the
CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users
tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be
treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument.
This patch corrects this, properly checking the absolute/relative flag,
as well as adds further error checking that no invalid flag bits are set.

In my investigation, I found the root cause is wq_numa_possible_cpumask.
All entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask is allocated by
alloc_cpumask_var_node(). And these entries are used without initializing.
So these entries have wrong value.
When hot-adding and onlining CPU, wq_update_unbound_numa() is called.
wq_update_unbound_numa() calls alloc_unbound_pwq(). And alloc_unbound_pwq()
calls get_unbound_pool(). In get_unbound_pool(), worker_pool->node is set
as follow:
3592 /* if cpumask is contained inside a NUMA node, we belong to that node */
3593 if (wq_numa_enabled) {
3594 for_each_node(node) {
3595 if (cpumask_subset(pool->attrs->cpumask,
3596 wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node])) {
3597 pool->node = node;
3598 break;
3599 }
3600 }
3601 }
But wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node] does not have correct cpumask. So, wrong
node is selected. As a result, kernel panic occurs.
By this patch, all entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask are allocated by
zalloc_cpumask_var_node to initialize them. And the panic disappeared.

The context check in perf_event_context_sched_out allows
non-cloned context to be part of the optimized schedule
out switch.
This could move non-cloned context into another workload
child. Once this child exits, the context is closed and
leaves all original (parent) events in closed state.
Any other new cloned event will have closed state and not
measure anything. And probably causing other odd bugs.

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.

Disabling reading and writing to the trace file should not be able to
disable all function tracing callbacks. There's other users today
(like kprobes and perf). Reading a trace file should not stop those
from happening.

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
to uprobe_dispatcher()" added the UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE, but it looks
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
changelog in commit 41ccba029e94.

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.
tj: Updated comments. Renamed @sb to @pinned_sb.

# cat test.sh
#! /bin/bash
mount -t cgroup -o cpu xxx /cgroup
umount /cgroup
mount -t cgroup -o cpu,cpuacct xxx /cgroup
umount /cgroup
# ./test.sh
mount: xxx already mounted or /cgroup busy
mount: according to mtab, xxx is already mounted on /cgroup
It's because the cgroupfs_root of the first mount was under destruction
asynchronously.
Fix this by delaying and then retrying mount for this case.
v3:
- put the refcnt immediately after getting it. (Tejun)
v2:
- use percpu_ref_tryget_live() rather that introducing
percpu_ref_alive(). (Tejun)
- adjust comment.
tj: Updated the comment a bit.

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"
