8916edef58 getrusage: RUSAGE_THREAD should return ru_utime and ru_stime
Impact: task stats regression fix

Original getrusage(RUSAGE_THREAD) implementation can return ru_utime and
ru_stime. But commit "f06febc: timers: fix itimer/many thread hang" broke it.

this patch restores it.

6ca09dfc9f sched: put back some stack hog changes that were undone in kernel/sched.c
Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines.

Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using
node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and
causes a panic due to stack overflow.  This patch undoes those changes
by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'.

In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further
reducing stack usage.  (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!)

Also:
   Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to
   the new 'struct cpumask *' functions.

   Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the
   same node as the referring cpu.

Impact: Reduce kernel memory usage, use new cpumask API.

Avoid a static cpumask_t for prof_cpu_mask, and an on-stack cpumask_t
in prof_cpu_mask_write_proc.  Both become cpumask_var_t.

prof_cpu_mask is only allocated when profiling is on, but the NULL
checks are optimized out by gcc for the !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case.

Also removed some strange and unnecessary casts.

bd232f97b3 cpumask: convert RCU implementations
Impact: use new cpumask API.

rcu_ctrlblk contains a cpumask, and it's highly optimized so I don't want
a cpumask_var_t (ie. a pointer) for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case.  It
could use a dangling bitmap, and be allocated in __rcu_init to save memory,
but for the moment we use a bitmap.

(Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK,
so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it).

We remove on-stack cpumasks, using cpumask_var_t for
rcu_torture_shuffle_tasks() and for_each_cpu_and in force_quiescent_state().

4f4b6c1a94 cpumask: prepare for iterators to only go to nr_cpu_ids/nr_cpumask_bits.: core
Impact: cleanup

In future, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids.  So use that instead of NR_CPUS in iterators
and other comparisons.

This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

79741dd357 [PATCH] idle cputime accounting
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.

In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.

This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

457533a7d3 [PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting
The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the
global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls
to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have
been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time
to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time
instead of the scaled user time.
To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges
account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and
account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

36994e58a4 tracing/kmemtrace: normalize the raw tracer event to the unified tracing API

This patch adapts kmemtrace raw events tracing to the unified tracing API.

To enable and use this tracer, just do the following:

 echo kmemtrace > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
 cat /debugfs/tracing/trace

You will have the following output:

That was to stay backward compatible with the format output produced in
inux/tracepoint.h.

This is the default ouput, but note that I tried something else.

If you change an option:

echo kmem_minimalistic > /debugfs/trace_options

and then cat /debugfs/trace, you will have the following output:

Yeah I shall confess kmem_minimalistic should be: kmem_alternative.

Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course.
We can drop it if you want.

On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free.

On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page

I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not
break the column with strings....

About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't
be difficult to find.

I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would
be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common
directory.

54b11e6d57 cpumask: smp_call_function_many()
Impact: Implementation change to remove cpumask_t from stack.

Actually change smp_call_function_mask() to smp_call_function_many().
We avoid cpumasks on the stack in this version.

(S390 has its own version, but that's going away apparently).

We have to do some dancing to figure out if 0 or 1 other cpus are in
the mask supplied and the online mask without allocating a tmp
cpumask.  It's still fairly cheap.

We allocate the cpumask at the end of the call_function_data
structure: if allocation fails we fallback to smp_call_function_single
rather than using the baroque quiescing code (which needs a cpumask on
stack).

3fa4152069 cpumask: make set_cpu_*/init_cpu_* out-of-line
They're only for use in boot/cpu hotplug code anyway, and this avoids
the use of deprecated cpu_*_map.

Stephen Rothwell points out that gcc 4.2.4 (on powerpc at least)
didn't like the cast away of const anyway:

  include/linux/cpumask.h: In function 'set_cpu_possible':

e302cf3f96 tracing/branch-tracer: adapt to the stat tracing API
Impact: refactor the branch tracer

This patch adapts the branch tracer to the tracing API.

This is a proof of concept because the branch tracer implements two
"stat tracing" that were split in two files.

So I added an option to the branch tracer: stat_all_branch.
If it is set, then trace_stat will output all of the branches
entries stats. Otherwise, it will print the annotated branches.

Its is a kind of quick trick, waiting for a better solution.

By default, the annotated branches stat are sorted by incorrect branch
prediction percentage.

Ie:

dbd0b4b330 tracing/ftrace: provide the base infrastructure for histogram tracing
Impact: extend the tracing API

The goal of this patch is to normalize and make more easy the
implementation of statistical (histogram) tracing.

It implements a trace_stat file into the /debugfs/tracing directory where
one can print a one-shot output of statistics/histogram entries.

A tracer has to provide two basic iterator callbacks:

  stat_start() => the first entry
  stat_next(prev, idx) => the next one.

Note that it is adapted for arrays or hash tables or lists.... since it
provides a pointer to the previous entry and the current index of the
iterator.

These two callbacks are called to get a snapshot of the statistics at each
opening of the trace_stat file because. The values are so updated between
two "cat trace_stat". And the tracer is free to lock its datas during the
iteration to keep consistent values.

Since it is almost always interesting to sort statisticals values to
address the problems by priority, this infrastructure provides a "sorting"
of the stat entries too if desired. A tracer has just to provide a
stat_cmp callback to compare two entries and the stat tracing
infrastructure will build a sorted list of the given entries.

A last callback, called stat_headers, can be implemented by a tracer to
output headers on its trace.

If one of these callbacks is changed on runtime, it just have to signal it
to the stat tracing API by calling the init_tracer_stat() helper.

Changes in V2:

- Fix a memory leak if the user opens multiple times the trace_stat file
  without closing it. Now we always free our list before rebuilding it.

f633cef020 ftrace: change trace.c to use registered events
Impact: rework trace.c to use new event register API

Almost every ftrace event has to implement its output display in
trace.c through a different function. Some events did not handle
all the formats (trace, latency-trace, raw, hex, binary), and
this method does not scale well.

This patch converts the format functions to use the event API to
find the event and and print its format. Currently, we have
a print function for trace, latency_trace, raw, hex and binary.
A trace_nop_print is available if the event wants to avoid output
on a particular format.

Perhaps other tracers could use this in the future (like mmiotrace and
function_graph).

abf137dd77 aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless
The mm->ioctx_list is currently protected by a reader-writer lock,
so we always grab that lock on the read side for doing ioctx
lookups. As the workload is extremely reader biased, turn this into
an rcu hlist so we can make lookup_ioctx() lockless. Get rid of
the rwlock and use a spinlock for providing update side exclusion.

There's usually only 1 entry on this list, so it doesn't make sense
to look into fancier data structures.

98db8df777 ring-buffer: prevent false positive warning
Impact: eliminate false WARN_ON message

If an interrupt goes off after the setting of the local variable
tail_page and before incrementing the write index of that page,
the interrupt could push the commit forward to the next page.

Later a check is made to see if interrupts pushed the buffer around
the entire ring buffer by comparing the next page to the last commited
page. This can produce a false positive if the interrupt had pushed
the commit page forward as stated above.

Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.

a8ccf1d6f6 ring-buffer: fix dangling commit race
Impact: fix stuck trace-buffers

If an interrupt comes in during the rb_set_commit_to_write and
pushes the tail page forward just at the right time, the commit
updates will miss the adding of the interrupt data. This will
cause the commit pointer to cease from moving forward.

3d44cc3e01 Null pointer deref with hrtimer_try_to_cancel()
Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

commit 2d42244ae7 (clocksource:
introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only
available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time.

The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created
with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes
the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted
either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes.

Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the
posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

9bb482476c allow stripping of generated symbols under CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL
Building upon parts of the module stripping patch, this patch
introduces similar stripping for vmlinux when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y.
Using CONFIG_KALLSYMS_STRIP_GENERATED reduces the overhead of
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL from 245k/310k to 65k/80k for the (i386/x86-64)
kernels I tested with.

The patch also does away with the need to special case the kallsyms-
internal symbols by making them available even in the first linking
stage.

While it is a generated file, the patch includes the changes to
scripts/genksyms/keywords.c_shipped, as I'm unsure what the procedure

"OSPM will call the _PTS control method some time before entering a
sleeping state, to allow the platform's AML code to update this

awakes from an S4 state, OSPM will restore this memory area and call
the _WAK control method to enable the BIOS to reclaim its memory

ad273b32e4 sched: activate active load balancing in new idle cpus
Impact: tweak task balancing to save power more agressively

Active load balancing is a process by which migration thread
is woken up on the target CPU in order to pull current
running task on another package into this newly idle
package.

This method is already in use with normal load_balance(),
this patch introduces this method to new idle cpus when
sched_mc is set to POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE_WAKEUP.

This logic provides effective consolidation of short running
daemon jobs in a almost idle system

The side effect of this patch may be ping-ponging of tasks
if the system is moderately utilised. May need to adjust the
iterations before triggering.

7eb52dfa70 sched: bias task wakeups to preferred semi-idle packages
Impact: tweak task wakeup to save power more agressively

Preferred wakeup cpu (from a semi idle package) has been
nominated in find_busiest_group() in the previous patch.  Use
this information in sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu in function
wake_idle() to bias task wakeups if the following conditions
are satisfied:

        - The present cpu that is trying to wakeup the process is
          idle and waking the target process on this cpu will
          potentially wakeup a completely idle package
        - The previous cpu on which the target process ran is
          also idle and hence selecting the previous cpu may
          wakeup a semi idle cpu package
        - The task being woken up is allowed to run in the
          nominated cpu (cpu affinity and restrictions)

Basically if both the current cpu and the previous cpu on
which the task ran is idle, select the nominated cpu from semi
idle cpu package for running the new task that is waking up.

Cache hotness is considered since the actual biasing happens
in wake_idle() only if the application is cache cold.

This technique will effectively move short running bursty jobs in
a mostly idle system.

Wakeup biasing for power savings gets automatically disabled if
system utilisation increases due to the fact that the probability
of finding both this_cpu and prev_cpu idle decreases.

7a09b1a27b sched: nominate preferred wakeup cpu
Impact: extend load-balancing code (no change in behavior yet)

When the system utilisation is low and more cpus are idle,
then the process waking up from sleep should prefer to
wakeup an idle cpu from semi-idle cpu package (multi core
package) rather than a completely idle cpu package which
would waste power.

Use the sched_mc balance logic in find_busiest_group() to
nominate a preferred wakeup cpu.

This info can be stored in appropriate sched_domain, but
updating this info in all copies of sched_domain is not
practical.  Hence this information is stored in root_domain
struct which is one copy per partitioned sched domain.
The root_domain can be accessed from each cpu's runqueue
and there is one copy per partitioned sched domain.

d5679bd119 sched: favour lower logical cpu number for sched_mc balance
Impact: change load-balancing direction to match that of irqbalanced

Just in case two groups have identical load, prefer to move load to lower
logical cpu number rather than the present logic of moving to higher logical
number.

find_busiest_group() tries to look for a group_leader that has spare capacity
to take more tasks and freeup an appropriate least loaded group.  Just in case
there is a tie and the load is equal, then the group with higher logical number
is favoured.  This conflicts with user space irqbalance daemon that will move
interrupts to lower logical number if the system utilisation is very low.

afb8a9b70b sched: framework for sched_mc/smt_power_savings=N
Impact: extend range of /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings

Currently the sched_mc/smt_power_savings variable is a boolean,
which either enables or disables topology based power savings.
This patch extends the behaviour of the variable from boolean to
multivalued, such that based on the value, we decide how
aggressively do we want to perform powersavings balance at
appropriate sched domain based on topology.

Variable levels of power saving tunable would benefit end user to
match the required level of power savings vs performance
trade-off depending on the system configuration and workloads.

This version makes the sched_mc_power_savings global variable to
take more values (0,1,2).  Later versions can have a single
tunable called sched_power_savings instead of
sched_{mc,smt}_power_savings.

64db4cfff9 "Tree RCU": scalable classic RCU implementation
This patch fixes a long-standing performance bug in classic RCU that
results in massive internal-to-RCU lock contention on systems with
more than a few hundred CPUs.  Although this patch creates a separate
flavor of RCU for ease of review and patch maintenance, it is intended
to replace classic RCU.

This patch still handles stress better than does mainline, so I am still
calling it ready for inclusion.  This patch is against the -tip tree.
Nevertheless, experience on an actual 1000+ CPU machine would still be
most welcome.

Most of the changes noted below were found while creating an rcutiny
(which should permit ejecting the current rcuclassic) and while doing
detailed line-by-line documentation.

Updates from v9 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/2/334):

o	Fixes from remainder of line-by-line code walkthrough,
	including comment spelling, initialization, undesirable
	narrowing due to type conversion, removing redundant memory
	barriers, removing redundant local-variable initialization,
	and removing redundant local variables.

	I do not believe that any of these fixes address the CPU-hotplug
	issues that Andi Kleen was seeing, but please do give it a whirl
	in case the machine is smarter than I am.

	A writeup from the walkthrough may be found at the following
	URL, in case you are suffering from terminal insomnia or
	masochism:

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/paulmck/tmp/rcutree-walkthrough.2008.12.16a.pdf

o	Made rcutree tracing use seq_file, as suggested some time
	ago by Lai Jiangshan.

o	Added a .csv variant of the rcudata debugfs trace file, to allow
	people having thousands of CPUs to drop the data into
	a spreadsheet.	Tested with oocalc and gnumeric.  Updated
	documentation to suit.

Updates from v8 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/15/139):

o	Fix a theoretical race between grace-period initialization and
	force_quiescent_state() that could occur if more than three
	jiffies were required to carry out the grace-period
	initialization.  Which it might, if you had enough CPUs.

o	Apply Ingo's printk-standardization patch.

o	Substitute local variables for repeated accesses to global
	variables.

o	Fix comment misspellings and redundant (but harmless) increments
	of ->n_rcu_pending (this latter after having explicitly added it).

o	Apply checkpatch fixes.

Updates from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/10/291):

o	Fixed a number of problems noted by Gautham Shenoy, including
	the cpu-stall-detection bug that he was having difficulty
	convincing me was real.  ;-)

o	Changed cpu-stall detection to wait for ten seconds rather than
	three in order to reduce false positive, as suggested by Ingo
	Molnar.

o	Produced a design document (http://lwn.net/Articles/305782/).
	The act of writing this document uncovered a number of both
	theoretical and "here and now" bugs as noted below.

o	Fix dynticks_nesting accounting confusion, simplify WARN_ON()
	condition, fix kerneldoc comments, and add memory barriers
	in dynticks interface functions.

o	Add more data to tracing.

o	Remove unused "rcu_barrier" field from rcu_data structure.

o	Count calls to rcu_pending() from scheduling-clock interrupt
	to use as a surrogate timebase should jiffies stop counting.

o	Fix a theoretical race between force_quiescent_state() and
	grace-period initialization.  Yes, initialization does have to
	go on for some jiffies for this race to occur, but given enough
	CPUs...

Updates from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/23/448):

o	Fix a number of checkpatch.pl complaints.

o	Apply review comments from Ingo Molnar and Lai Jiangshan
	on the stall-detection code.

o	Fix several bugs in !CONFIG_SMP builds.

o	Fix a misspelled config-parameter name so that RCU now announces
	at boot time if stall detection is configured.

o	Run tests on numerous combinations of configurations parameters,
	which after the fixes above, now build and run correctly.

Updates from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/15/92, bad subject line):

o	Fix a compiler error in the !CONFIG_FANOUT_EXACT case (blew a
	changeset some time ago, and finally got around to retesting
	this option).

o	Fix some tracing bugs in rcupreempt that caused incorrect
	totals to be printed.

o	I now test with a more brutal random-selection online/offline
	script (attached).  Probably more brutal than it needs to be
	on the people reading it as well, but so it goes.

o	A number of optimizations and usability improvements:

	o	Make rcu_pending() ignore the grace-period timeout when
		there is no grace period in progress.

	o	Make force_quiescent_state() avoid going for a global
		lock in the case where there is no grace period in
		progress.

	o	Rearrange struct fields to improve struct layout.

	o	Make call_rcu() initiate a grace period if RCU was
		idle, rather than waiting for the next scheduling
		clock interrupt.

	o	Invoke rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() only when
		idle, as suggested by Andi Kleen.  I still don't
		completely trust this change, and might back it out.

	o	Make CONFIG_RCU_TRACE be the single config variable
		manipulated for all forms of RCU, instead of the prior
		confusion.

	o	Document tracing files and formats for both rcupreempt
		and rcutree.

Updates from v4 for those missing v5 given its bad subject line:

o	Separated dynticks interface so that NMIs and irqs call separate
	functions, greatly simplifying it.  In particular, this code
	no longer requires a proof of correctness.  ;-)

o	Separated dynticks state out into its own per-CPU structure,
	avoiding the duplicated accounting.

o	The case where a dynticks-idle CPU runs an irq handler that
	invokes call_rcu() is now correctly handled, forcing that CPU
	out of dynticks-idle mode.

o	Review comments have been applied (thank you all!!!).
	For but one example, fixed the dynticks-ordering issue that
	Manfred pointed out, saving me much debugging.  ;-)

o	Adjusted rcuclassic and rcupreempt to handle dynticks changes.

Attached is an updated patch to Classic RCU that applies a hierarchy,
greatly reducing the contention on the top-level lock for large machines.
This passes 10-hour concurrent rcutorture and online-offline testing on
128-CPU ppc64 without dynticks enabled, and exposes some timekeeping
bugs in presence of dynticks (exciting working on a system where
"sleep 1" hangs until interrupted...), which were fixed in the
2.6.27 kernel.  It is getting more reliable than mainline by some
measures, so the next version will be against -tip for inclusion.
See also Manfred Spraul's recent patches (or his earlier work from
2004 at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=108546384711797&w=2).
We will converge onto a common patch in the fullness of time, but are
currently exploring different regions of the design space.  That said,
I have already gratefully stolen quite a few of Manfred's ideas.

This patch provides CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, which controls the bushiness
of the RCU hierarchy.  Defaults to 32 on 32-bit machines and 64 on
64-bit machines.  If CONFIG_NR_CPUS is less than CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT,
there is no hierarchy.  By default, the RCU initialization code will
adjust CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT to balance the hierarchy, so strongly NUMA
architectures may choose to set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to disable
this balancing, allowing the hierarchy to be exactly aligned to the
underlying hardware.  Up to two levels of hierarchy are permitted
(in addition to the root node), allowing up to 16,384 CPUs on 32-bit
systems and up to 262,144 CPUs on 64-bit systems.  I just know that I
am going to regret saying this, but this seems more than sufficient
for the foreseeable future.  (Some architectures might wish to set
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4, which would limit such architectures to 64 CPUs.
If this becomes a real problem, additional levels can be added, but I
doubt that it will make a significant difference on real hardware.)

In the common case, a given CPU will manipulate its private rcu_data
structure and the rcu_node structure that it shares with its immediate
neighbors.  This can reduce both lock and memory contention by multiple
orders of magnitude, which should eliminate the need for the strange
manipulations that are reported to be required when running Linux on
very large systems.

Some shortcomings:

o	More bugs will probably surface as a result of an ongoing
	line-by-line code inspection.

	Patches will be provided as required.

o	There are probably hangs, rcutorture failures, &c.  Seems
	quite stable on a 128-CPU machine, but that is kind of small
	compared to 4096 CPUs.  However, seems to do better than
	mainline.

	Patches will be provided as required.

o	The memory footprint of this version is several KB larger
	than rcuclassic.

	A separate UP-only rcutiny patch will be provided, which will
	reduce the memory footprint significantly, even compared
	to the old rcuclassic.  One such patch passes light testing,
	and has a memory footprint smaller even than rcuclassic.
	Initial reaction from various embedded guys was "it is not
	worth it", so am putting it aside.

74c8a61304 locking, irq: enclose irq_desc_lock_class in CONFIG_LOCKDEP
Impact: simplify code

commit "08678b0: generic: sparse irqs: use irq_desc() [...]" introduced
the irq_desc_lock_class variable.

But it is used only if CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=Y or CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS=Y.
Otherwise, following warnings happen:

	CC      kernel/irq/handle.o
	kernel/irq/handle.c:26: warning: 'irq_desc_lock_class' defined but not used

Actually, current early_init_irq_lock_class has a bit strange and messy ifdef.
In addition, it is not valueable.

1. this function is protected by !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ, but that is not necessary.
   if CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=Y, desc of all irq number are initialized by NULL
   at first - then this function calling is safe.

2. this function protected by CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS too. but it is not
   necessary either, because lockdep_set_class() doesn't have bad side
   effect even if CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS=n.

This patch bloat kernel size a bit on CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS=n and
CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=Y - but that's ok. early_init_irq_lock_class() is not
a fastpatch at all.

To avoid messy ifdefs is more important than a few bytes diet.

9c2c48020e schedstat: consolidate per-task cpu runtime stats
Impact: simplify code

When we turn on CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS, per-task cpu runtime is accumulated
twice. Once in task->se.sum_exec_runtime and once in sched_info.cpu_time.
These two stats are exactly the same.

Given that task->se.sum_exec_runtime is always accumulated by the core
scheduler, sched_info can reuse that data instead of duplicate the accounting.

The tracing code has interesting varieties of printing out task state.

Unfortunalely only one of the instances is correct as it copies the
code from sched.c:sched_show_task(). The others are plain wrong as
they treatthe bitfield as an integer offset into the character
array. Also the size check of the character array is wrong as it
includes the trailing \0.

ea3a6d6d60 ftrace: add not to regex on filtering functions
Impact: enhancement

Ingo Molnar has asked about a way to remove items from the filter
lists. Currently, you can only add or replace items. The way
items are added to the list is through opening one of the list
files (set_ftrace_filter or set_ftrace_notrace) via append.
If the file is opened for truncate, the list is cleared.

  echo spin_lock > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

The above will replace the list with only spin_lock

  echo spin_lock >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

The above will add spin_lock to the list.

Now this patch adds:

  echo '!spin_lock' >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

This will remove spin_lock from the list.

The limited glob features of these lists also can be notted.

  echo '!spin_*' >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

This will remove all functions that start with 'spin_'

Note:

  echo '!spin_*' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

will simply clear out the list (notice the '>' instead of '>>')

Impact: enhancement to stack tracer

The stack tracer currently is either on when configured in or
off when it is not. It can not be disabled when it is configured on.
(besides disabling the function tracer that it uses)

This patch adds a way to enable or disable the stack tracer at
run time. It defaults off on bootup, but a kernel parameter 'stacktrace'
has been added to enable it on bootup.

A new sysctl has been added "kernel.stack_tracer_enabled" to let
the user enable or disable the stack tracer at run time.

73500ac545 futex: rename field in futex_q to clarify single waiter semantics
Impact: simplify code

I've tripped over the naming of this field a couple times.

The futex_q uses a "waiters" list to represent a single blocked task and
then calles wake_up_all().

This can lead to confusion in trying to understand the intent of the code,
which is to have a single futex_q for every task waiting on a futex.

This patch corrects the problem, using a single pointer to the waiting
task, and an appropriate call to wake_up, rather than wake_up_all.

66896a85cf tracing/ftrace: add the printk-msg-only option
Impact: display ftrace_printk messages "as is"

By default, ftrace_printk() messages find their output with some other
informations like pid, caller, ...
Sometimes a developer just want to have the ftrace_printk left "as is", without
other information.

This is done by providing a default-off option called printk-msg-only.
To enable it, just do `echo printk-msg-only > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options`

Before the patch:

           <...>-2739  [000]   145.692153: __might_sleep: I'm an ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep

307257cf47 cgroups: fix a race between rmdir and remount
When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list,
but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which
point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented).

Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being
empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can
result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being
removed-but-not-freed cgroup.

The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of
subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups.  This
bug can be reproduced via:

mkdir /mnt/cg
mount -t cgroup -o ns,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
mkdir /mnt/cg/foo
sleep 1h < /mnt/cg/foo &
rmdir /mnt/cg/foo
mount -t cgroup -o remount,ns,devices,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
kill $!

Though the above will cause oops in -mm only but not mainline, but the bug
can cause memory leak in mainline (and even oops)

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky

27af4245b6 posix-timers: use "struct pid*" instead of "struct task_struct*"
Impact: restructure, clean up code

k_itimer holds the ref to the ->it_process until sys_timer_delete(). This
allows to pin up to RLIMIT_SIGPENDING dead task_struct's. Change the code
to use "struct pid *" instead.

The patch doesn't kill ->it_process, it places ->it_pid into the union.
->it_process is still used by do_cpu_nanosleep() as before. It would be
trivial to change the nanosleep code as well, but since it uses it_process
in a special way I think it is better to keep this field for grep.

The patch bloats the kernel by 104 bytes and it also adds the new pointer,
->it_signal, to k_itimer. It is used by lock_timer() to verify that the
found timer was not created by another process. It is not clear why do we
use the global database (and thus the global idr_lock) for posix timers.
We still need the signal_struct->posix_timers which contains all useable
timers, perhaps it is better to use some form of per-process array

001474491f nohz: suppress needless timer reprogramming
In my device I get many interrupts from a high speed USB device in a very
short period of time.  The system spends a lot of time reprogramming the
hardware timer which is in a slower timing domain as compared to the CPU. 
This results in the CPU spending a huge amount of time waiting for the
timer posting to be done.  All of this reprogramming is useless as the
wake up time has not changed.

As measured using ETM trace this drops my reprogramming penalty from
almost 60% CPU load down to 15% during high interrupt rate.  I can send
traces to show this.

Suppress setting of duplicate timer event when timer already stopped. 
Timer programming can be very costly and can result in long cpu stall/wait
times.

d65bd5ecb2 sched: add missing arch_update_cpu_topology() call
arch_reinit_sched_domains() used to call arch_update_cpu_topology()
via arch_init_sched_domains(). This call got lost with
e761b77252 ("cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce
cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment (take 2)".

So we might end up with outdated and missing cpus in the cpu core
maps (architecture used to call arch_reinit_sched_domains if cpu
topology changed).

This adds a call to arch_update_cpu_topology in partition_sched_domains
which gets called whenever scheduling domains get updated. Which is
what is supposed to happen when cpu topology changes.

fa116ea35e nohz: no softirq pending warnings for offline cpus
Impact: remove false positive warning

After a cpu was taken down during cpu hotplug (read: disabled for interrupts)
it still might have pending softirqs. However take_cpu_down makes sure
that the idle task will run next instead of ksoftirqd on the taken down cpu.
The idle task will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick which might warn about
pending softirqs just before the cpu kills itself completely.

However the pending softirqs on the dead cpu aren't a problem because they
will be moved to an online cpu during CPU_DEAD handling.

So make sure we warn only for online cpus.

b88ed20594 fix mapping_writably_mapped()
Lee Schermerhorn noticed yesterday that I broke the mapping_writably_mapped
test in 2.6.7!  Bad bad bug, good good find.

The i_mmap_writable count must be incremented for VM_SHARED (just as
i_writecount is for VM_DENYWRITE, but while holding the i_mmap_lock)
when dup_mmap() copies the vma for fork: it has its own more optimal
version of __vma_link_file(), and I missed this out.  So the count
was later going down to 0 (dangerous) when one end unmapped, then
wrapping negative (inefficient) when the other end unmapped.

The only impact on x86 would have been that setting a mandatory lock on
a file which has at some time been opened O_RDWR and mapped MAP_SHARED
(but not necessarily PROT_WRITE) across a fork, might fail with -EAGAIN
when it should succeed, or succeed when it should fail.

But those architectures which rely on flush_dcache_page() to flush
userspace modifications back into the page before the kernel reads it,
may in some cases have skipped the flush after such a fork - though any
repetitive test will soon wrap the count negative, in which case it will
flush_dcache_page() unnecessarily.

Fix would be a two-liner, but mapping variable added, and comment moved.

9c24624727 KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN fixes
Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked
to my 966c8c12dc sprint_symbol(): use
less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() -
kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was
beyond the end of page provided.

The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly
enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before
it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.

Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they
need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer
where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies
them.

8b96f01198 tracing/function-graph-tracer: introduce __notrace_funcgraph to filter special functions
Impact: trace more functions

When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not
traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the
normal function tracer too.

arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c:

I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw
that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie:
"write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store
the original return address of the function inside current, we had
crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing.

kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c:

Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer:
__kernel_text_address()

To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch
introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if
function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

0b8f1efad3 sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes
Impact: new feature

Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.

To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.

When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).

This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

5436499e60 sched: fix sd_parent_degenerate on non-numa smp machine
Impact: optimize the sched domains tree some more

The addition of SD_SERIALIZE flag added to SD_NODE_INIT prevented top level
dummy numa sched_domain to be properly degenerated on non-numa smp machine.
The reason is that in sd_parent_degenerate(), it found that the child and
parent does not have comon sched_domain flags due to SD_SERIALIZE.  However,
for non-numa smp box, the top level is a dummy with a single sched_group.

Filter out SD_SERIALIZE if it is on non-numa machine to properly degenerate
top level node sched_domain.  this will cut back some of the sd domain walk
in the load balancer code.

decbec3838 tracing/function-graph-tracer: implement a print_headers function
Impact: provide trace headers to explain a bit the output

This patch implements the print_headers callback for the function graph
tracer. These headers are output according to the current trace options.

7657d90497 user namespaces: require cap_set{ug}id for CLONE_NEWUSER
While ideally CLONE_NEWUSER will eventually require no
privilege, the required permission checks are currently
not there.  As a result, CLONE_NEWUSER has the same effect
as a setuid(0)+setgroups(1,"0").  While we already require
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, requiring CAP_SETUID and CAP_SETGID seems
appropriate.

c37bbb0fdc user namespaces: let user_ns be cloned with fairsched
(These two patches are in the next-unacked branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sergeh/userns-2.6.
If they get some ACKs, then I hope to feed this into security-next.
After these two, I think we're ready to tackle userns+capabilities)

Fairsched creates a per-uid directory under /sys/kernel/uids/.
So when you clone(CLONE_NEWUSER), it tries to create
/sys/kernel/uids/0, which already exists, and you get back
-ENOMEM.

This was supposed to be fixed by sysfs tagging, but that
was postponed (ok, rejected until sysfs locking is fixed).
So, just as with network namespaces, we just don't create
those directories for user namespaces other than the init.

21bbecdaae ftrace: use init_struct_pid as swapper pid
Impact: clean up

Using (struct pid *)-1 as the pointer for ftrace_swapper_pid is
a little confusing for others. This patch uses the address of the
actual init pid structure instead. This change is only for
clarity. It does not affect the code itself. Hopefully soon the
swapper tasks will all have their own pid structure and then
we can clean up the code a bit more.

77d683f3e0 tracing/ftrace: fix the check of ftrace_trace_task
Impact: fix default empty traces on function-graph-tracer

The actual ftrace_trace_task() checks if ftrace_pid_trace is allocated
and return 1 if it is true.
If it is NULL, it will check the bit of pid tracing flag for the current
task (which are not set by default).
So by default, a task is not traced.
Actually all tasks should be traced by default and filter_by_pid when
ftrace_pid_trace is allocated.

The appropriate condition should be to return 1 if filter_by_pid is
set.

ff32504fdc tracing/ftrace: don't insert TRACE_PRINT during selftests
Impact: fix tracer selfstests false results

After setting a ftrace_printk somewhere in th kernel, I saw the
Function tracer selftest failing.

When a selftest occurs, the ring buffer is lurked to see if
some entries were inserted. But concurrent insertion such as
ftrace_printk could occured at the same time and could give
false positive or negative results.

This patch prevent prevent from TRACE_PRINT entries insertion
during selftests.

0871420fad sparc64: Add tsb-ratio sysctl.
Add a sysctl to tweak the RSS limit used to decide when to grow
the TSB for an address space.

In order to avoid expensive divides and multiplies only simply
positive and negative powers of two are supported.

The function computed takes the number of TSB translations that will
fit at one time in the TSB of a given size, and either adds or
subtracts a percentage of entries.  This final value is the
RSS limit.

See tsb_size_to_rss_limit().
