Impact: avoid accessing NULL tg.css->cgroup
In commit 0a0db8f5c9, I removed checking

struct sched_domain is now a dangling structure; where we really want
static ones, we need to use static_sched_domain.
(As the FIXME in this file says, cpumask_var_t would be better, but
this code is hairy enough without trying to add initialization code to

Currently task_active_pid_ns is not safe to call after a task becomes a
zombie and exit_task_namespaces is called, as nsproxy becomes NULL. By
reading the pid namespace from the pid of the task we can trivially solve
this problem at the cost of one extra memory read in what should be the
same cacheline as we read the namespace from.
When moving things around I have made task_active_pid_ns out of line
because keeping it in pid_namespace.h would require adding includes of
pid.h and sched.h that I don't think we want.
This change does make task_active_pid_ns unsafe to call during
copy_process until we attach a pid on the task_struct which seems to be a
reasonable trade off.

I found a bug on my dual-cpu box. I created a sub cpuset in top cpuset
and assign 1 to its cpus. And then we attach some tasks into this sub
cpuset. After this, we offline CPU1. Now, the tasks in this new cpuset
are moved into top cpuset automatically because there is no cpu in sub
cpuset. Then we online CPU1, we find all the tasks which doesn't belong
to top cpuset originally just run on CPU0.
We fix this bug by setting task's cpu_allowed to cpu_possible_map when
attaching it into top cpuset. This method needn't modify the current
behavior of cpusets on CPU hotplug, and all of tasks in top cpuset use
cpu_possible_map to initialize their cpu_allowed.

Add css_tryget(), that obtains a counted reference on a CSS. It is used
in situations where the caller has a "weak" reference to the CSS, i.e.
one that does not protect the cgroup from removal via a reference count,
but would instead be cleaned up by a destroy() callback.
css_tryget() will return true on success, or false if the cgroup is being
removed.
This is similar to Kamezawa Hiroyuki's patch from a week or two ago, but
with the difference that in the event of css_tryget() racing with a
cgroup_rmdir(), css_tryget() will only return false if the cgroup really
does get removed.
This implementation is done by biasing css->refcnt, so that a refcnt of 1
means "releasable" and 0 means "released or releasing". In the event of a
race, css_tryget() distinguishes between "released" and "releasing" by
checking for the CSS_REMOVED flag in css->flags.

These patches introduce new locking/refcount support for cgroups to
reduce the need for subsystems to call cgroup_lock(). This will
ultimately allow the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() (which was removed
recently) to be restored.
These three patches give:
1/3 - introduce a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex which a subsystem can
use to prevent changes to its own cgroup tree
2/3 - use hierarchy_mutex in place of calling cgroup_lock() in the
memory controller
3/3 - introduce a css_tryget() function similar to the one recently
proposed by Kamezawa, but avoiding spurious refcount failures in
the event of a race between a css_tryget() and an unsuccessful
cgroup_rmdir()
Future patches will likely involve:
- using hierarchy mutex in place of cgroup_lock() in more subsystems
where appropriate
- restoring the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() with respect to cgroup_create()
This patch:
Add a hierarchy_mutex to the cgroup_subsys object that protects changes to
the hierarchy observed by that subsystem. It is taken by the cgroup
subsystem (in addition to cgroup_mutex) for the following operations:
- linking a cgroup into that subsystem's cgroup tree
- unlinking a cgroup from that subsystem's cgroup tree
- moving the subsystem to/from a hierarchy (including across the
bind() callback)
Thus if the subsystem holds its own hierarchy_mutex, it can safely
traverse its own hierarchy.

Add support for building hierarchies in resource counters. Cgroups allows
us to build a deep hierarchy, but we currently don't link the resource
counters belonging to the memory controller control groups, in the same
fashion as the corresponding cgroup entries in the cgroup hierarchy. This
patch provides the infrastructure for resource counters that have the same
hiearchy as their cgroup counter parts.
These set of patches are based on the resource counter hiearchy patches
posted by Pavel Emelianov.
NOTE: Building hiearchies is expensive, deeper hierarchies imply charging
the all the way up to the root. It is known that hiearchies are
expensive, so the user needs to be careful and aware of the trade-offs
before creating very deep ones.

Additionally, make cgroup_path() check for a NULL cgrp->dentry to avoid
trying to report a path for a partially-created cgroup.

css_set's refcount is also taskcount, after this patch applied, taskcount
may be off-by-one WHEN cgroup_lock() is not held. but I reviewed other
code which use taskcount, they are still correct. No regression found by

NOMMU mmap allocates a piece of memory for an mmap that's rounded up in size to
the nearest power-of-2 number of pages. Currently it then discards the excess
pages back to the page allocator, making that memory available for use by other
things. This can, however, cause greater amount of fragmentation.
To counter this, a sysctl is added in order to fine-tune the trimming
behaviour. The default behaviour remains to trim pages aggressively, while
this can either be disabled completely or set to a higher page-granular
watermark in order to have finer-grained control.

Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems:
(1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
shmat's (and forks) done.
(2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
process or a dead process.
A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.
This patch makes the following additional changes:
(1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead,
each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is
interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.
(2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.
(3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may
end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
appended to the sort key.
(4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.
(5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if
necessary.
(6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple
shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.
(7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.
(8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
that aren't actually mapped anywhere.
(9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not
anonymous.
These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

This patch fixes an rcutorture bug found by Eric Sesterhenn that
resulted in oopses in response to "rmmod rcutorture". The problem
was in some new code that attempted to handle the case where a system
is shut down while rcutorture is still running, for example, when
rcutorture is built into the kernel so that it cannot be removed.
The fix causes the rcutorture threads to "park" in an
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) rather than
trying to get them to terminate cleanly. Concurrent shutdown and
rmmod is illegal.
I believe that this is 2.6.29 material, as it is used in some testing
setups.
For reference, here are the rcutorture operating modes:
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m
This is the normal rcutorture build. Use "modprobe rcutorture"
(with optional arguments) to start, and "rmmod rcutorture" to
stop. If you shut the system down without doing the rmmod, you
should see console output like:
rcutorture thread rcu_torture_writer parking due to system shutdown
One for each rcutorture kthread.
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=n
Use this if you want rcutorture built in, but don't want the
test to start running during early boot. To start the
torturing:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable
To stop the torturing, s/1/0/
You will get "parking" console messages as noted above when
you shut the system down.
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=y
Same as above, except that the torturing starts during early
boot. Only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach.
The same /proc entry noted above may be used to control the
test.

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.
This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.
In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.

Either we bounce once cacheline per cpu per tick, yielding n^2 bounces
or we just bounce a single..
Also, using per-cpu allocations for the thread-groups complicates the
per-cpu allocator in that its currently aimed to be a fixed sized
allocator and the only possible extention to that would be vmap based,
which is seriously constrained on 32 bit archs.
So making the per-cpu memory requirement depend on the number of
processes is an issue.
Lastly, it didn't deal with cpu-hotplug, although admittedly that might
be fixable.

Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that
various hardware delays are done sequentially.
In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces
infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps
asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays
in practice.
In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this
patch does NOT do full parallel initialization.
Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may
be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects
(instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.

This series of patches allows kprobes to probe module's __init and __exit
functions. This means, you can probe driver initialization and
terminating.
Currently, kprobes can't probe __init function because these functions are
freed after module initialization. And it also can't probe module __exit
functions because kprobe increments reference count of target module and
user can't unload it. this means __exit functions never be called unless
removing probes from the module.
To solve both cases, this series of patches introduces GONE flag and sets
it when the target code is freed(for this purpose, kprobes hooks
MODULE_STATE_* events). This also removes refcount incrementing for
allowing user to unload target module. Users can check which probes are
GONE by debugfs interface. For taking timing of freeing module's .init
text, these also include a patch which adds module's notifier of
MODULE_STATE_LIVE event.
This patch:
Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an
address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace
within() local inline functions in kernel/module.c with them.
kprobes uses these functions to check where the kprobe is inserted.

When someone called register_*probe() from kernel-core code(not from
module) and that probes a kernel module, users can remove the probed
module because kprobe doesn't increment reference counter of the module.
(on the other hand, if the kernel-module calls register_*probe, kprobe
increments refcount of the probed module.)
Currently, we have no register_*probe() calling from kernel-core(except
smoke-test, but the smoke-test doesn't probe module), so there is no real
bugs. But the logic is wrong(or not fair) and it can causes a problem
when someone might want to probe module from kernel.
After this patch is applied, even if someone put register_*probe() call in
the kernel-core code, it increments the reference counter of the probed
module, and it prevents user to remove the module until stopping probing
it.

At the moment, the times() system call will appear to fail for a period
shortly after boot, while the value it want to return is between -4095 and
-1. The same thing will also happen for the time() system call on 32-bit
platforms some time in 2106 or so.
On some platforms, such as x86, this is unavoidable because of the system
call ABI, but other platforms such as powerpc have a separate error
indication from the return value, so system calls can in fact return small
negative values without indicating an error. On those platforms,
force_successful_syscall_return() provides a way to indicate that the
system call return value should not be treated as an error even if it is
in the range which would normally be taken as a negative error number.
This adds a force_successful_syscall_return() call to the time() and
times() system calls plus their 32-bit compat versions, so that they don't
erroneously indicate an error on those platforms whose system call ABI has
a separate error indication. This will not affect anything on other
platforms.
Joakim Tjernlund added the fix for time() and the compat versions of
time() and times(), after I did the fix for times().

xacct_add_tsk() relies on do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() and uses
mm->hiwater_xxx directly, this leads to 2 problems:
- taskstats_user_cmd() can call fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() at any
moment before the task exits, so we should check the current values of
rss/vm anyway.
- do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls are racy. An exiting thread can
be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread
can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between. When the first thread
resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we
report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into
account.
Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change
xacct_add_tsk() to use them. The first helper will also be used by
rusage->ru_maxrss accounting.
Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls. Unless we are going to
decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody
can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.

This change introduces two new sysctls to /proc/sys/vm:
dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes.
dirty_background_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_background_ratio and
dirty_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_ratio.
With growing memory capacities of individual machines, it's no longer
sufficient to specify dirty thresholds as a percentage of the amount of
dirtyable memory over the entire system.
dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes specify quantities of memory, in
bytes, that represent the dirty limits for the entire system. If either
of these values is set, its value represents the amount of dirty memory
that is needed to commence either background or direct writeback.
When a `bytes' or `ratio' file is written, its counterpart becomes a
function of the written value. For example, if dirty_bytes is written to
be 8096, 8K of memory is required to commence direct writeback.
dirty_ratio is then functionally equivalent to 8K / the amount of
dirtyable memory:
dirtyable_memory = free pages + mapped pages + file cache
dirty_background_bytes = dirty_background_ratio * dirtyable_memory
-or-
dirty_background_ratio = dirty_background_bytes / dirtyable_memory
AND
dirty_bytes = dirty_ratio * dirtyable_memory
-or-
dirty_ratio = dirty_bytes / dirtyable_memory
Only one of dirty_background_bytes and dirty_background_ratio may be
specified at a time, and only one of dirty_bytes and dirty_ratio may be
specified. When one sysctl is written, the other appears as 0 when read.
The `bytes' files operate on a page size granularity since dirty limits
are compared with ZVC values, which are in page units.
Prior to this change, the minimum dirty_ratio was 5 as implemented by
get_dirty_limits() although /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio would show any user
written value between 0 and 100. This restriction is maintained, but
dirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page.
Also prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or
exceed dirty_ratio. This restriction is maintained in addition to
restricting dirty_background_bytes. If either background threshold equals
or exceeds that of the dirty threshold, it is implicitly set to half the
dirty threshold.

Fix a regression in cap_capable() due to:
commit 3b11a1dece
Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Date: Fri Nov 14 10:39:26 2008 +1100
CRED: Differentiate objective and effective subjective credentials on a task
The problem is that the above patch allows a process to have two sets of
credentials, and for the most part uses the subjective credentials when
accessing current's creds.
There is, however, one exception: cap_capable(), and thus capable(), uses the
real/objective credentials of the target task, whether or not it is the current
task.
Ordinarily this doesn't matter, since usually the two cred pointers in current
point to the same set of creds. However, sys_faccessat() makes use of this
facility to override the credentials of the calling process to make its test,
without affecting the creds as seen from other processes.
One of the things sys_faccessat() does is to make an adjustment to the
effective capabilities mask, which cap_capable(), as it stands, then ignores.
The affected capability check is in generic_permission():
if (!(mask & MAY_EXEC) || execute_ok(inode))
if (capable(CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE))
return 0;
This change passes the set of credentials to be tested down into the commoncap
and SELinux code. The security functions called by capable() and
has_capability() select the appropriate set of credentials from the process
being checked.
This can be tested by compiling the following program from the XFS testsuite:
/*
* t_access_root.c - trivial test program to show permission bug.

* Written by Michael Kerrisk - copyright ownership not pursued.

problem was that the special-case code for small machines never updated

completed, which prevented force_quiescent_state() from ever expediting
grace periods. This problem resulted in grace periods extending for more
than 20 seconds. Not subtle. I introduced this bug during my inspection
process when I fixed a race between grace-period initialization and
force_quiescent_state() execution.

process, and uses the current process's subjective creds. A new security op -
task_capable() - is introduced that can check any task's objective creds.
strictly the capable() security op is superfluous with the presence of the
task_capable() op, however it should be faster to call the capable() op since
two fewer arguments need be passed down through the various layers.

Introduce stop_machine_create/destroy. With this interface subsystems
that need a non-failing stop_machine environment can create the
stop_machine machine threads before actually calling stop_machine.
When the threads aren't needed anymore they can be killed with
stop_machine_destroy again.
When stop_machine gets called and the threads aren't present they
will be created and destroyed automatically. This restores the old
behaviour of stop_machine.
This patch also converts cpu hotplug to the new interface since it
is special: cpu_down calls __stop_machine instead of stop_machine.
However the kstop threads will only be created when stop_machine
gets called.
Changing the code so that the threads would be created automatically

When creating the final layout of a kernel module in memory, allow the
module loader to reserve some additional memory in front of a given section.
This is currently only needed for the parisc port which needs to put the

When there are two symbols in a module with the same name, one of which is
exported, both will be marked as exported in /proc/kallsyms. There aren't
any instances of this in the current kernel, but it is easy to construct a
simple module with two compilation units that exhibits the problem.
$ objdump -j .text -t testmod.ko | grep foo
00000000 l F .text 00000032 foo
00000080 g F .text 00000001 foo
$ sudo insmod testmod.ko
$ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms
c28e8000 T foo [testmod]
c28e8080 T foo [testmod]
Fix this by comparing the symbol values once we've found the exported
symbol table entry matching the symbol name. Tested using Ksplice:
$ ksplice-create --patch=this_commit.patch --id=bar .
$ sudo ksplice-apply ksplice-bar.tar.gz
Done!
$ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms
c28e8080 T foo [testmod]

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:

Use cpumask_var_t for take_cpu_down() stack var, and frozen_cpus.
Note that notify_cpu_starting() can be called before core_initcall

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.

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().

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.
Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
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.

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).

commit 2d42244ae7 (clocksource:

The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Impact: fix occasionally incorrect trace output
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.
Use a common state decoder inline which does the Right Thing.

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: clean up
Andrew Morton suggested to use the stack_tracer_enabled variable
to decide whether or not to start stack tracing on bootup.
This lets us remove the start_stack_trace variable.

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.
